Why Choose Airbrush When Doing Body Painting

Body paint is used for many make-up purposes and is a very versatile and precise technique.  From creating smooth, natural- looking skin textures to colourful looks for theatrical or film and television make-up, body paint is loved by Make-up Artists and media professionals for the many looks that it can create.  Airbrush is one of the most common techniques for applying body paints and has many benefits.  Here we explore airbrushing in more detail and explore the benefits below.

Airbrushing Offers Precision - Airbrushing allows you to apply body paints precisely, making it easier to create special FX looks, such as contouring, sculpting and other methods, in a quicker and more accurate way.  Allowing you to craft the finer details perfect for stage and screen, airbrushing allows you to create looks which may not be possible using brushes or sponges.

Create Special FX and High-Definition Looks - By using body paints for airbrushing you can create a wide range of looks – perfect for special FX or high definition assignments.  Airbrushing body paint onto the body creates looks without the need for digital enhancement or costumes and creates a ‘second skin effect’ which will look natural and realistic on screen.
Airbrushing Creates a Natural, Flawless Finish - When it comes to applying body paints for airbrush, nothing creates a more natural finish.  The aim when creating make-up looks is that they are as natural as possible, which is why airbrushing is perfect for media and theatrical make-up, wedding make-up and special occasion make-up.  Creating that truly flawless, glowing look, you can ensure complete body coverage without the heaviness.

Quick Drying and Easy to Remove - One of the great things about airbrushing is the drying time. When it comes to a shoot where every second counts, quick drying products are essential.  Body paints contain quick drying ingredients, which are smudge proof, meaning that they will stay in place until you are ready to remove them.  Also, body paints are also easy to remove, so for quick changes or full removal at the end of the day, you can be assured of a quick and easy removal.
The body paint kits provide a range of colours and products in order to make it easy to airbrush when undertaking various projects.  Investing in body paint kits as a professional Make-up Artist will give you a wider range of skills to offer potential clients and ensure that you can create the most diverse and sought after looks. Simple, effective and very useful for creating both basic and more detailed looks, airbrushing is a fantastic technique for Make-up Artists.
