It seem like yesterday when I opened my 1st airbrushing system package... Clients were starting to request airbrush makeup services from me and I was up for the challenge to practice and learn how to airbrush to keep up with their request, along with advancing my career as a makeup artist. For my birthday my parents gifted me my shiny red Dinair airbrush kit. After doing my research for which airbrushing system i thought would work best for me, I dropped huge hints for them. ;)
I decided on the Dinair Airbrush system. My decision was made based on the portable size and great reviews from other muas I knew who were airbrushing. It wasn't until my 1st use when I fell in love with the airbrush system. It's light weight, small, and has stolen my heart. As you can see from the photo I own two systems. You don't need two compressors however, I would suggest an extra airbrush gun to have on standby. You never know when you may run into a clog or not have enough time to fully clean out the gun to switch colors. So having a spare is a good idea.
Dinair's foundations are water and sweat resistant, they are also silicone and oil free. There are three sizes of foundation sold by Dinair, the .25oz., .05oz., and 1.15oz. I'm always looking for a good deal on makeup or an opportunity where I can get more product for my money. Which lead me to Camera Ready Cosmetics' brand of airbrush foundations. From my experience and continual use of them, they offer up the same product quality and last just as long as Dinair's foundations. The bonus with Camera Ready Cosmetics' foundation is the value. For the $25 price tag of Dinair's 1.15oz (the largest size they carry) I was able to get 2 of Camera Ready Cosmetics' 1oz (the smallest size they carry) for $13.99 or $12.49 when I used my CRC pro discount. CRC also carries a 2oz. bottle of foundation for $20.69 which is a better value deal compared to Dinair's 1.15oz $25 price tag. I LOVE both brands and suggest you use them both or any of the other brands out there.
So why would you buy Dinair when you can just have CRC? CRC has a great shade range consisting of 10 shades, while Dinair carries 20 shades. Also, Dinair carries everything airbrush from eye shadow to tanning, hair included. The beauty of airbrushing is the freedom to customize your client's shade matching. You don't need all 20 of Dinair's foundations. I highly suggest getting all of the CRC shades and the following shades from Dinair; Lt. Golden Beige, Cocoa, Dark Brown to have a decent airbrush foundation kit.
With any new technique as an artist you must first learn, practice, and master the skill before being able to offer the service. So please don't go out and preform airbrushing with out the proper knowledge of the technique. Because of how "easy" airbrushed is advertised, there are still some important things to know about what products DON'T work with airbrush makeup. There are cosmetic and skin care formulas that work well with airbrush and there are some that just don't. It's important you know the difference to be the best PROFESSIONAL airbrushing artist you can be.
Getting into airbrushing has been one an amazing experience . The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing a shade and an amazing coverage for clients. You'll be able to offer a luxury service to clients that offers them 18 plus hours of staying power, water and sweat resistant makeup. You'll also benefit from the ability to increase your rates. Everybody is happy happy happy.
Happy Airbrushing!!!

Deletehi, loved the review. Could you maybe post some swatches of the CRC foundations? I still don't know what shade to get. I am an NC43 in MAC and am thinking I should be around the 35 in CRC but just dont know. They have an awesome return policy but the shipping rate is too much to pay twice
