Final thoughts on Temptu Silicone Based Airbrush Makeup

So I have been using Temptu silicone based airbrush makeup since February and I feel like I have finally concluded how I feel about the product. Before I discuss the makeup I wanted to give a quick recap of the system I purchased.

In February of this year I Purchased this Kit from the Temptu Pro Website
I ordered the Temptu Pro 2.0 Kit with Beauty add on, This kit came with the 2.0 Compressor, SE-50 Single action airbrush gun , 12 Foundation shades in the 1/4 oz size, and Temptu Silicone Based Cleaner in the 1 oz size. In addition to the Kit I purchased the Invisible Difference Setting Powder in medium and the Temptu Silicone Based Primer in 1 oz size.

I have made a few Videos showing my use of Temptu Silicone Based airbrush Makeup if you watched them you will see that I had a hard time with the application at first but I did film an update showing that I did get the hang of applying it. SO... here is my Conclusion

Pro's:
-Very Water Resistant- (If you have oily skin water resistance gets weaker the more your skins natural oils interfere with the makeup thought the day, but that is common even with water based airbrush makeup)
-Looks Natural
-Lightweight Feel (Slightly heavier than water based but that is to be expected because Silicone based is thicker than water based)
-Moveable- the makeup can be moved because it doesn't dry instantly like water based airbrush makeup. This makes it easy to blend out and correct mistakes (Very Forgiving)
-Has a Natural Finish- on the dewy side ( this can be tough for people who have oily skin but I have found that applying primer and the invisible difference powder before and after the airbrush makeup I got a more matte finish)
-Can be applied easily with a Brush also- Makes it ideal for touch ups on the go with the right travel containers and brushes.

Con's:
-Difficult to clean ( in the airbrush gun)
-Must be applied at a higher pressure (makes it difficult to apply to areas like the eyes)
-Didn't last that long on my skin- rubbed off on clothing( Im sure it was due to the fact that I have very oily skin which makes it difficult for the makeup to get a hold on my skin especially throughout the day) can be corrected my adding steps to my routine.
-Takes time to set before other makeup can be applied ( not much time but some)

Overall would I recomend Temptu Silicone Based airbrush Makeup:
ABSOLUTELY! , as you can see the pro's definitely outweigh the cons, Temptu silicone based airbrush makeup is a great quality product that I have grown quite fond of these past few months. I may not use it every day but it has become a part of my kit and my special occasion makeup routine ;) Please before you have any judgements about Temptu Silicone Based airbrush makeup I urge you to try it yourself and make the judgement based on your skin and your preference :) I personally think it is an amazing product!  I have to admit at first I didn't like it because I thought it was too much of a hassle but after trying it more and more I have to say to much of my own surprise I really have grown to love the product.
