Airbrush makeup...flawless coverage but not for everyone

As some of you may know, I will soon be offering airbrush makeup to my clients. However, I will still be using traditional makeup as well, because as you will read below, airbrush is not for everyone.

Some ideas I picked up from a course with a famous makeup artist to the stars in NYC about airbrush makeup:
-Not for mature skin
-Not for extremely blemished skin...it will only accentuate the flaws
-OCC primer is the best primer (whether using airbrush or not)
-Concealing is done with concealer, NOT airbrush makeup
-Use a goat hair eye shadow brush when applying concealer, press it in lightly, and bring concealer down under the eye to the TOP of the cheek. Also make sure to dab blemishes and over the eyebrow (this is one of the tricks you won't read in magazines...but it helps give the celebs the flawless look we are all after)
