Do

•  Find subtle ways to add color

•  Go for a natural look

•  Experiment with different styles and looks

•  Clean your stylus after every use

•  Practice using your airbrush with water to get familiar with the feeling

•  Use the darker colors in your starter kit for contouring and natural eyeshadows

•  Practice airbrushing eye shadow by using Glow as your brow highlighter and
Bronzer on the lid. Finish your look with regular eye shadow in the crease.

•  If you have a lighter skin tone, mix in Glow with your foundation for a
natural glowing look.

•  If you have a darker skin tone, mix in Bronzer for a subtle shimmer.

•  Add a little moisturizer/primer over your foundation if you were too heavy-
handed.

•  Do your eyes first, then concealer, then foundation. This will allow you to
easily clean up if you have any “fall out.

•  Don’t pull on your face! It creates wrinkles and transfers bacteria.

•  If you don’t have to shake it, don’t put it in your stylus. Products not made
for airbrush will ruin your stylus.

•  Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows. Take it from our 8th grade selves: too much
over-plucking will result in eyebrows that never fully grow back.

•  Don’t overdo it. A little goes a long way with our makeup; you can get full
coverage with only 6-8 drops.

•  Don’t touch your face. Touching your face with dirty hands or makeup
brushes will transfer bacteria and can cause breakouts or infections. That’s
why airbrush is so hygienic.

•  Don’t pull all the way back on the trigger when applying makeup. Pull
slightly to apply in light layers.

•  Don’t hold it too close to your face. Hold your stylus 6″-8″ away from your
face to avoid a tacky look and feel.

•  Don’t use too many drops of blush. Our blush is very highly pigmented,   so it
doesn’t take much to make a big impact. Put a little on, and let it dry
before deciding to add more.

•  Don’t panic! Everything is easily fixable. If you overspray, just dab it out gently with your fingertips. If you get too heavy-handed with anything, balance it out with another product. You never have to start over!
