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.

Here are the Videos of my Journey with Temptu Silicone Based airbrush Makeup I hope to post more tutorials and how to's to help the new user get started with Silicone based airbrush makeup :)

JX airbrush Gun vs the New CX airbrush gun from Dinair Airbrush Makeup

Recently Dinair released a New and Improved airbrush gun Called the CX. This gun is advertized to provide a smoother application without constant cleaning or clogging. Now just to be clear just because the gun wont clog DOES NOT mean you should skimp out on cleaning it. Tools require maintenance and if you want you gun to run smoothly for a long time than you really need to take care of it and maintain it.

 

Above is the CX airbrush gun 

                                                         Above is the JX airbrush Gun

One of the first things i noticed about the two airbrush guns is that the adapter that is on the underside of the airbrush gun that connects the gun to the hose was different. it did not however seem to contribute to the difference in function between the two airbrush guns. 

The front ends of both airbrush guns did show to be different as you can see in the images above. I do believe that the different front caps of the CX airbrush gun does give the gun better performance compared to the JX airbrush gun. 

 As you can see in the image above the CX airbrush gun has a elongated funnel like housing for the needle i found that this allows for a much smoother application with minimal clogging.

As opposed to the image above which is of the JX which those who have had experience with this gun know that because the front end set up there was quite a but of clogging which resulted in a rigorous clean up too often during a single makeup application.

                                               The image above is the lever on the JX

                                              The image above is the lever on the CX
As you can see the jx came with a sprayed on adhesive that acted as a grip to allow more control of the lever. i fund that over time the grip began to deteriorate and turn a greenish yellow shade. now i found that the CX not having a grip allowed for people who didn't find it useful to be able to not worry about removing it but for those who did find a  lever grip handy Dinair also came out with a detectible one that can be added to your order for the small price of .50 cents.

Overall I feel that the new CX airbrush gun is the greatest improvement I think Dinair could have come up with in terms of upgrading their airbrush gun. The gun performs exactly as it should smooth and precise and with little effort at that making it a great investment for the airbrush makeup artist or the airbrush makeup enthusiast.

Candy Collection

During the month of February Dinair released a Collection Titled the Candy Collection which included 3 Colair shades and 2 Glamor Shades. All the shades were limited edition meaning in this case that they can only be purchased as a collective. Now there is no saying if Dinair will keep this collection around but you can decide if it s worth getting for your personal style. I loved the colors so much after trying out the 3 ml size that i went and purchased the .25 fl oz bottles. The shades that are included in this collection are Too Hot, Hug Me, Let's Kiss, Be Mine and Cutie Pie. These Shades and most f the products i use can be found at AirbrushMakeup. com (The link is below just scroll down to my airbrush ventures)

Times Square Collection

The Times Square Collection came out the week before the coming of the new year. It included shades 5th avenue, City lights, Party Queen, Central Park, and Glitz n Glam. Collectively I believe this collection is perfect for the traditional smokey eye. But word of caution all the shades are Shimmer shades so if rocking a complete shimmer eye is not your thing than remember to add some matte shades when purchasing this collection!

Look 1 City Lights on 5th Avenue

Look 2 Glam Party at Central Park

Look 3 City Lure

Look 4 Cherry Blossoms in the City

The Night on the Town Trio

 The Night on the Town Trio Collection Feature Shades Appletini, Enchanted, and Lady Luck. Theses Shades had me super intimidated when I first saw them in a collection because they were all bright and there was no contrasting color, None the less I gave it a try and I was amazed when I mixed the shades what beautiful colors came out of the colors in this collection! Here are a few looks using some of the shades you can get by using this collection straight up or mixing and matching between the colors. I did decide to pair this collection with dk. brown because I'm a firm believer in having a contrast color that adds depth to they eye.

 Look 1- Mixing it Up

Look 2- So Fresh and So Green

Look 3- Fresh Water Glam

Look 4- Caramel Apple Glam

Utilizing the By the Fire Trio Collection- Look 1 DATE NIGHT GLAM

I recently purchased the by the fire trio collection from airbrushmakeup.com. It came with three Colors from the Colair Opalescent line, Date Night, 24 Carat, and Espresso.
When the colors arrived in the mail I took one look at them and had an idea... I should do a series on different looks that can be achieved with color collections! Starting with this Trio my creativity went to work and today I am going to show you look 1 Staring the Shade Date Night.

Date Night to me is a Deep Ruby Red shade that has a Beautiful metallic hue, The great thing about the Opalescent shades is that like all other airbrush makeup it is very build-able, but what differentiates the shades is the fine pigments as well as bold finishes you can achieve with this line. Its like using Loose Pigments like makeup geek or mac bu tin airbrush form which was genius on Dinair's part. Now back to the eye look this look is the first look that came to mind when i saw this collection, it is the most basic look that can be created with this line of colors so without further adieu  Here are the steps to achieve this look:

Step 1: Apply Espresso to the outer V and blend into the transition. Don't forget to concentrate this color in the outer corner of the lid and into the outer corner of the natural fold of the eye lid for depth. Also add this color to the outer corner of the lower lash line.

Step 2: Apply Date Night to the lid, blend it into the Espresso in the outer corner, and go back to add it to the inner corner of the lid also avoiding the tear duct. Make sure to feather it ip towards the transition and blend into the Espresso. Then Apply  to the lower lash line from the middle area of the lower lash line and blend into the Espresso .

Step 3: Apply 24 Carat to the tear duct and feather it towards the inner lid. Apply also to the brow bone and to the lower lash line in the inner corner connecting it to Date Night.

Step 4: Apply a liner with a cat eye end. For this look i  used my cat eye end stencil i purchased from airbrushmakeup.com and my Jet black liner. Don't forget to smoke out the outer corner of the lower lash line by spraying through the lashes just on the outer corner.

Step 5: Apply mascara and or False Lashes if you like.

And the look is Complete!

Here is a quick video tutorial on how to get this look!

Concealing Blemishes with airbrush makeup

Concealing blemishes with cream concealer is simple enough if you can find yourself a concealer that does the job and lasts all day... With airbrush makeup it can be tricky
When you conceal do you often get hot spots?
Have you looked online at video how too's and wonder why its not working for you?
Do you not use enough product in fear of a hot spot that you don't completly cover the blemish?

Well if you do I' am here to help you!

First get over the fear that makes you not want to try.
Second get comfortable with your lever. 
Third pull out a practice color and begin to practice.

The secret to covering blemishes with airbrush makeup is lever control. yes you need to be able to stay super light on the lever. Another helpful tip is to lower your compressor speed I find that 10 o'clock is the perfect speed to set your compressor to to cover those unwanted blemishes. But the best tip you can possibly get is simply PRACTICE it takes practice to control your lever comfortably so definitely practice. From my experience covering blemishes if found that you don't want to be too close to the blemish you want to always keep the airbrush gun moving and don't forget to blend. Using a lighter color to conceal anything that you don't want to brighten is a bad idea so stick to colors that you know will correct or conceal or just stick yo using your normal foundation shade.

Here is a video demonstrating how I cover blemishes with airbrush makeup.
