    airbrush technique
    I am a make up artist from Saskatchewan. I bought a compressor and airbrush some time ago and have been reluctant to use it because I didn't want to purchase a video over the net. It is hard to find other artists willing to show their techniques without purchasing something. So I thank you very much for sharing. I would be much more inclined to purchase from you if I should need product in the future due to the fact you are willing to share your expertise. You are a true professional.

    Thank you very much for your video. Quite interesting and self explanatory. Do you sell the air brush compressors and how can I get one or where can I buy one? Thanks once again.

Transcripts

Hello, I am Roger Bennett Riggle, licensed and professional makeup artist and this is our model today, Vanessa Strickland. In this segment, we have been showing you how easy and effective it is to use an airbrush and in fact, I have airbrushed and prepped Vanessa s face. At this point, I am going to add in all the particulars that I want by hand. I can do the contour, the blush, I will be putting on the lips, giving her about three different eye shadows and eye liner and the mascara. So, in this montage, we will just speed this process up and at the end, we will show you how Vanessa looks for the street or for camera, rolling on the video or whatever she wants to do.

So, now, we go into the makeup process of just adding in all the details to finish up the makeup. We have prepped Vanessa s face and concealed it and we sprayed the airbrush foundation over it and now, we have added all the defining features. We put a little contour in the temple and underneath the cheek and we warm that up with blush, I laid in the eye shadows.

On the eye, we cleaned up the brow a little bit, we did the eye liner and the mascara and I did half of her lips, so that you can really see the difference between how bright and how smooth and how beautiful this airbrush foundation really is. Really, in just about five minutes or so, I laid in all the other details on her face and this gives her extreme definition and a glowing beauty with that beautiful, beautiful airbrush foundation which really is a flawless application.
