How is airbrush makeup different from traditional makeup?

Airbrush is commonly used in film, HDTV, fashion and other new media by professionals. It can give a smooth, even finish and cover a large area quickly, especially the decollete (which should be done in HDTV). But depending on the product used in the machine and the person's skin type, it can sometimes look too shiny, which isn't good for camera, but may be great for the bar patio.

Either traditional or airbrush are both good options and they are only tools of the trade. It's the skill of the artist that matters here. It's worth noting that it hasn't been approved by the FDA and there are no long-term studies I'm aware of that attest to the safety of its use - especially over the long haul. Silicone-based foundations especially should be avoided (when airborne through the airbrush) because of the inhalation of the product (tiny particles in the air) being sprayed through the machine onto the face.

Aside from these warnings it can look quite lovely. Ah, the price of beauty.
