Airbrush Prep- Concealing basics

Prep work when referring to a makeup application isn't always just about priming but it also has a fair amount to do with concealing. So hopefully this post and video will help you do just that (Concealing of course) in conjunction with you airbrushed makeup application.
Now Concealing when using airbrush makeup as your foundation requires you to apply BEFORE you apply foundation, airbrush makeup sits on the skin in a pixelated fashion so applying concealer after you apply foundation could disrupt the senselessness of your airbrushed foundation.
There are two ways to conceal that will work in conjunction with an airbrushed face:
1) with Airbrush makeup
2) with Traditional cream concealer

When using airbrush makeup I like to conceal with a lighter formula so my concealer of choice is from Dinair's Paramedical line it is an alcohol based formula that is super light, build-able, and can provide a medium to full coverage. That being said lets talk concealing....
Steps and tips:
1) Choose a shade. I prefer the same as my foundation shade or 1 shade lighter.
2) Set your dial to a low setting, on my Dinair system my dial is usually set at 10 o' Clock.
3) Use only 2-3 drops to conceal the under eye and have some left over to conceal blemishes.
4) Lightly rock your lever about 1-2 inch away from the under eye area keeping your airbrush in motion at all times for an even application.
5) Dry the airbrush makeup before relaxing the skin this will avoid wet makeup drying in the lines and wrinkles that may be present in that area. a.k.a CREASING
6) REMEMBER Less is more! do not over spray the under eye area as this will
magnify lines and wrinkles  as well as cause the under eye area to crease or look cakey.

Here is one of my older videos that I hope will help with concealing blemishes with the Airbrush


Now when using cream concealer you want to make sure to use a concealer that has the same base as the airbrush makeup you are spraying around or over it. For example water based with water based, or silicone based with silicone based. If you are using silicone based airbrush makeup just mix a little in with your concealer and that should help the concealer work well with the foundation. Now not all cream concealers are created equally and Dinair which is my brand of choice has always recommended that if you are going to use a cream concealer to use theirs because it is formulated to work with the airbrush makeup. Personally I can say that of all the concealers I have tried in conjunction with my airbrush makeup the Dinair cream concealer works the best. The shades that the offer are Vanilla, Alabaster, Light Beige, Orange Highlighter, Natural Beige, Olive Beige, Golden Tan, and Golden Olive. here is a video which includes swatches of the shades
Remember that if you choose to conceal with cream concealer that if you want it to stay put and not crease than you'll have to set it with some sort of translucent or setting powder. I personally love the Ben Nye Luxury powders I get mine from Camerareadycosmetics.com
