Thanks for the inquiry! I find myself using either 187 or 188 Stippling Brushes for liquid foundations as well. They give you a nice airbrushed look if you use it in a dotting manner. Charged water is limited edition, so don't get too married to it. It's great for any skin, and some have good essentials like Green Tea.
hey Cutesai - Mixing Medium is used to turn any powder makeup to liquid or gel consistency. So if you want to use a particular powder eyeshadow as an eyeliner, you wet your brush with mixing medium, swipe it on to powder then apply. You'll notice that the powder will apply on like fluid. MM is also great for applying Pigments and Minerl Makeup.
hey pirlofanatic - you can use a standard foundation brush for your cream-to-powder foundation. If you watch my FOUNDATIONS video, I featured some creams there and what brushes to use. I store my brushes in brush rolls. The ones I use often I just keep in holders. I use them enough that I wash them often.
there is a lot of gifted people in the world, passionate about what they're doing, experts in their field, but only few of them can actually teach, explain, pass their knowledge. You are definitely a great teacher! love your tutorials!
Very true! And like I said, what ever you use, it's practice that makes it perfect. Kudos to both blending and smoothing it out! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo.
hey Tinkerbelle - try just doing SPOT concealing! You can use Studio Finish Concealer if you want coverage. You might want to try a foundation primer as well. Smashbox Photo Finish does wonders.
hey de916 - yes more on airbrushing soon, just trying to mix up my videos to cover different interests, but yeah keep watching, and there are more on airbrushing coming soon. For oily skin, you want something that will absorb the oils. Mineralized is best, as by nature, they absorb oils that skin produces. You can try MAC Mineral foundation loose, or the SkinFinish Naturals. Also, I find Studio Fix Liquid is great too as it sets to powder finish.
I have a few Armani brushes, and yeah I find myself using them a lot. Just play with them when you visit a counter and buy what you think you'll use most. Whether an eyeshadow brush or foundation. That way you get the feel of using one.
hey LePooke - i spray on a tissue first to make sure the product flows nicely prior to face. Sometimes you get 'spurting' on the guns, so doing that will kinda clear the nozzle first.
hey Pirlo - i just remembered, I like using my MAC 192 also for cream-to-powder. Its also a great brush for Cream Color Bases. Anyhoo, 190 is probably better as the foundatin starts cream. Using short strokes is best to work the cream to the skin before it sets to powder finish.
yes! I definitely clean every use. Face brushes picks up loads of oils from your skin, and bacteria forms so fast on the brushes. At the most every other day is fine.
hey Kokokoda - thanks for subscribing. GOOD brushes will last a long time with proper TLC. If you have brushes that are shedding readlly badly, thats a good indication its time to replace.
It's basically just charged water used as a rehydrating refresher mist. It will not make you look oilier, but if you're already oily, I highly doubt you need rehydration.
hey Athena I use an Iwata SMART Jet compressor, and I have Iwata Eclipse CS gun and Iwata HP-C gun. I think iwata leads the AB technology. However, depending on how you're using it, there are more personal sizes available if you're just using them on yourself. I suggest checking the AB section at Dixie Art. They have the best prices nationwide.
Contouring- use one shade darker than your natural tone and apply to the outer perimeters of your face, close to hairline, ear, jawline. You can contour under your cheekbones as well. Hi-lite your t-zone and your cheekbones with 1 or 2 shade lighter than your natural color. Make sure to blend and smooth out so that the foundation would look natural.
I will eventually do a few vids on AB. You really want dual-action, better control of air and product, than single-action. Single action basically air and product comes out at the same time, dual you can control air by pressing the lever down, then control the flow of product by pulling the lever back.
hehe Steph- Studio MIST Foundation. Not recommended to directly spray on face. Best is to spray on back of hand, or better yet, a flat clean surface like a saucer, and use a foundation brush 190 or stippling brush 187.
hey barbi - a stippling brush is best for liquid foundation and powders, as it gives a nice airbrushed finish to the product. Watch my coastalscents video, its the cheapest place to buy stippling brushes. Otherwise, MAC have one and Sephora sells them too. They are called Duo Fiber Stippling Brush.
hey sutesai - yeah its Mixing Medium, not Fix+. Glycerin is widely used by cake makers as well, like for making fondant icing and such to keep the moisture in.
i recommend applying Oil Control Lotion in your T-Zone 15 minutes prior to applying your foundation. Then use MAC Mattefying Gel as a primer for your t-zone, then use Studio Fix Foundation or Studio Stick Founation if you want a matte finish.
it takes a little bit of practise and technique but once you get the hang of it its pretty easy. AB equipment are pretty expensive, they can go from $200 to $700 for the equipment alone.
hey Beauty! There's nothing wrong with being NEW to makeup. and there's so much to learn. Even I find myself learning new things each day. POWDER to set your foundation is a must (unless your foundation is powder already) - apply AFTER foundation.
hey babyboo - its always safe to start medium, then build as needed, always step back and look at your bride to see how it looks from a couple feet back. Also, constantly take digital picture so you can also see what it looks like behind the lens. You're the artist, so when you achieve the look you're going for, thats when you stop.
Well, depends on the skin I'm working on. I use a variety. I use MAC matte mineralized skinfinish because it gives such flawless finish. I use Cinema Secrets for photo shoots and weddings. Its probably the most camera-friendly foundation ever. For airbrushing, I like Temptu S/B Foundations. I have 2 airbrushes. An IWATA HP-C, and and IWATA Eclipse CS. Both are amazing workshorses.
hey Pucci - some foundation oxidizes on skin which makes it look darker after a few hours. The best brush to use with mousse foundation is either a regular foundation brush like the 190, or I also like using the 109 brush for mousses and creams.
They are both great imho, but I tend to use Smashbox more because it really drive to a smooth finish, and my foundations just applied on like butter! I also like the caffeine infused in MACs, it wakes up the skin. Sometimes, I even mix the 2!
airbrush foundation doesnt stick to hair because of the positive/negative ions. Thats one thing amazing about airbrush make up. The ones designed for lashes and brows have added ingredient to make it adhere to the hair.
I like MAC 150 for powder brush. 134 is great for mineralized, and 136 is great as well, just a bit pricey. I have tried so many brushes, and I find MAC, Armani, SHU brushes the best so far.
its best to soak it in hot water first to really loosen up the foundation build up. Then you can use various detergents to wash it. Gentle woolite is great, laudry detergent, shampoo - Just make sure to REALLY rinse well. Wash the sponge as often as possible.
Gosh - now that is a tough comparison. I like them both depending on area of coverage. Both are fluffy and soft BUT 150 has a wider bristle, so I get more areas covered LOL.
i got my system from DixieArt (dot com) and you can either use Airbrush Foundation, or any liquid foundation thinned with mixing medium to a milk consistency.
hey acaine - believe it or not, you can use MAC's Airbrush Cleanser as a thinner to water down liquid foundations for airbrush use. MAC recommends that you mix 40/60 with any of their liquid foundations, im sure it be about same with prescriptives.
Your irritations can be caused by Micas, SPF, Titanium Dixide, or Squalene (not squalane). SO try to watch out for those in your HG hunt. Try Biotherm Matte Souffle or Sense Matte. Check out Armani Luminous Silk while youre at it.
ive used both - depends on my client. If theyre allergic to silicones, then I cant use airbrush foundations that are silicone based. If they are used to a certain liquid foundation, then I use that thinned with mixing medium for airbrush application.
No, using a Primer is key - primers will coat and fill fine lines, crevisces, and pores without clogging, so that way the foundation doesnt sink into those and will look smoother and more flawless.
most powder brushes are too soft to be used as a foundation brush, specially in using cream products. You want something a little stiffer like perhaps a flat-top buffer.
they are both stippling brushes, same material, just different manufacturers. I use both now, specially when I need more than one stippler. Both works just the same.
hey way - you will need to dilute any MAC liquid foundation with MAC Airbrush Cleanser. This is a pro product use to thin out liquid products and also doubles to wash out airbrushes. The recommended ratio is about 60/40 or until the foundation about the consistency of milk. Now, if you are using MAC Airbrush Foundation, you dont need to dilute.
it will help if you use a wet sponge, otherwise, your sponge will just absorb the makeup more than it applies on your skin. and always discard the sponge every use, so get a bad of inexpensive sponges if you go that route.
That's so great! I never realized the sponge absorbed that much product...I am virtually getting no coverage using one and now I realize why. DOH! I just bought the Coastal Scents brush and I'm really anxious to use it! Thanks!
hey cutesai - not sure what AB brands are avail in the philippines. I use Temptu products. You can pretty much use ANY liquid foundation in airbrushing, you just need to dilute it with airbrush medium. 40/60 ratio.
Thanks for showing the sponge. I have been trying to figure out why people use them for applying makeup. It really does soak up all the foundation. I've used them wet and dry and I just make a mess. Now I know they are for *blending*. I've always used my fingers but you have convinced me to try a foundation brush for applying and then a sponge or blending brush for blending. I can't wait! Thank you Koren.
hi Mandi - if you're just looking for a personal unit, check out Temptu dot com. You can get AB kits there as well.Or you can get an Iwata Silver jet at Dixieart dot com and click on airbrushes, then the Iwata button.
I have to admit, when I saw the first 10 seconds of this video I thought you are doing some parody. BUT then I understood, you really know what are you talking about. I loved the explanations, I loved your voice, I loved how naturally you spoke, I loved the logic in your advices. This was totally helpful! Thank you so much for this!
i have always applied foundation using a wedge sponge, but i recently tried applying it with a sponge and i have to tell you, i'm a convert to the brush. i thought i wouldn't be able to wield it, or there would be streaks, but there weren't and i'm happy. sponges are great for blending though. :) i can't wait for the day when i can use an airbrush :)
hey Rosiemkay - are your dark circles on the purple-ish or red-ish side? You will have more success in covering them by using a concealer or color corrector first before your foundation. I use a concealer in the Salmon tone to anyone. The best Ive used is from Eve Pearl. Her Magic Salmon Concealer wheel is a must-have for me.
the compressor runs about $150 and up, and the guns run $100 and up. The cosmetics are also on the pricey side. It is quite an investment, but artists can charge $250 and up for a look.
Thanks for this. I always used my fingers but I just bought a foundation brush. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it and that's how I came across this video. :) I would love to try an air brush at some point but I know they are a little pricey.
it works just like a 187, only smaller so it covers small areas - it will take you longer to cover a whole face with foundation using 188, vs 187. Otherwise, thats the only diff really.
I would think the airbrush tool would be a little difficult to use on yourself, and would probably take some practice. I don't wear liquid foundation right now, but when I did I used a sponge and I guess I didn't realize how much product gets wasted. Thanks for these tips!
its sooo hard to spot the fakes, until they fall apart on you. The easiest one to look at is the metal plate where its crimped by the handle. Fake ones flares out and real ones hugs the handle.
Then I would probably just check out the personal AB units at Temptu, Kett, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, or Dinair. Check their sites! Let me know what you decide on!
you are amazing! im going to stop using my fingers now!! haha!! gonna buy a brush but ooooh really REALLY want an airbrush. i been sitting up all night watching your vids. im obsessed with it now! thanks so much for your vids!! xxxx
Hi Koren , thanks for this very useful tutorial, u know i had the 190 brush all the while but i never used it, instead i used to use my fingers or the sponge. So now i know the brush is a useful tool, i need to get started with the brush, btw id like to ask u how thick or thin a foundation should be applied for a bridal makeup, i like to achieve good results for eye view and also photography.....Thanks Koren for this very imformative video.
Thanks this tutorial help me a lot, i just buy my foundation brush and works hevenly ^^, and your totally right about the sponge is better for blendet how do you clean the brush?
Yes, (But only wet it SLIGHTLY otherwise you get a face full of water.) In my opinion, a soft tapered brush (like the one used in this video) is the best thing to use. (Unless you are a pro.) Good luck!
hey prettypink - you are probably better off getting compressors and guns like the pros uses. IWATA brand makes the best in AB systems. The cheapest place I know is DixieArt (dot)com I highly suggest the Jet Smart compressor and the Eclipse C gun.
If you wet the sponge first, it absorbs less of the foundation. And unless you are using makeup specialized for aging, getting it into your fine lines is only going to make them look worse.

try a 109 brush using small circular motions - it does gives it that airbrushed look using creams.
hey Jaylyn - definitely.
its on the to-make list. Keep watching, its coming soon.
there is a lot of gifted people in the world, passionate about what they're doing, experts in their field, but only few of them can actually teach, explain, pass their knowledge. You are definitely a great teacher! love your tutorials!

hey Pirlo - i just remembered, I like using my MAC 192 also for cream-to-powder. Its also a great brush for Cream Color Bases. Anyhoo, 190 is probably better as the foundatin starts cream. Using short strokes is best to work the cream to the skin before it sets to powder finish.
hey Luna - it takes a little practice, but once you got it down its really easy to use. MAC do sell airbrush sets but only in their Pro Stores.

i would go for the 190 more than a sponge. I also love using the 109 on cream foundations.
hey Philosgal - the brush you got is probably not binded well, therefore the bristles sheds. I would take it back and get it exchanged.
i recommend applying Oil Control Lotion in your T-Zone 15 minutes prior to applying your foundation. Then use MAC Mattefying Gel as a primer for your t-zone, then use Studio Fix Foundation or Studio Stick Founation if you want a matte finish.

absolutely, if you wear liquid it will give it a more airbrushed look to it.
hey gloria - Hyper Real will give more coverage. BOTH have that dewey finish.
Gosh - now that is a tough comparison. I like them both depending on area of coverage. Both are fluffy and soft BUT 150 has a wider bristle, so I get more areas covered LOL.
yes, i just use brush cleanser, and it I have the time -- Id wash using warm water and little baby shampoo
i got my system from DixieArt (dot com) and you can either use Airbrush Foundation, or any liquid foundation thinned with mixing medium to a milk consistency.
try the NC 40 in fluid
you do it the same time when you moisturize. I even mix it with the moisturiser if that doesnt have spf.
hey acaine - believe it or not, you can use MAC's Airbrush Cleanser as a thinner to water down liquid foundations for airbrush use. MAC recommends that you mix 40/60 with any of their liquid foundations, im sure it be about same with prescriptives.

hey sugarmelon -yes sythetics are ideal for liquids and creams.

Thank you Koren.
oh yes definitely - you will get less streaking if you use a brush with cream2powders.
Korem, will you do a full step by step demo on using the airbrush to apply foundation on a model? Thanks!
mine are all IWATA! and its is a brand pros prefer. check out Dixie Art as they have the lowest prices on compressors and guns.
hi Mandi - if you're just looking for a personal unit, check out Temptu dot com. You can get AB kits there as well.Or you can get an Iwata Silver jet at Dixieart dot com and click on airbrushes, then the Iwata button.

definitely exhange it - it shouldnt be loose.
hey Mary - have you tried MoistureLush? Its great for flakey dry skin. All Eucerin is pretty good too.
hey Rosiemkay - are your dark circles on the purple-ish or red-ish side? You will have more success in covering them by using a concealer or color corrector first before your foundation. I use a concealer in the Salmon tone to anyone. The best Ive used is from Eve Pearl. Her Magic Salmon Concealer wheel is a must-have for me.
hey sarah - like aerosol ones or pumps? Aerosols I dont like - there is very little work-time to blend at it dries and sets too fast.
the compressor runs about $150 and up, and the guns run $100 and up. The cosmetics are also on the pricey side. It is quite an investment, but artists can charge $250 and up for a look.

I love your videos. They are so HELPFUL....Thanks
Thank you so much for this tip. I was thinking all along that I wasted money on my foundation brush.
I love all your videos. Thanks for them!
I was surprised you didn't include the Mac 187.
its sooo hard to spot the fakes, until they fall apart on you. The easiest one to look at is the metal plate where its crimped by the handle. Fake ones flares out and real ones hugs the handle.
Thanks for the quick reply! I'm definitely getting one! Keep posting vids! Mabuhay!
Then I would probably just check out the personal AB units at Temptu, Kett, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, or Dinair. Check their sites! Let me know what you decide on!
you are amazing! im going to stop using my fingers now!! haha!! gonna buy a brush but ooooh really REALLY want an airbrush. i been sitting up all night watching your vids. im obsessed with it now! thanks so much for your vids!! xxxx
hey Jen - I emailed them, and they said they do mail to GUAM, Puerto Rico, and USVI, (US Territories) So you can order.
Hi Koren , thanks for this very useful tutorial, u know i had the 190 brush all the while but i never used it, instead i used to use my fingers or the sponge. So now i know the brush is a useful tool, i need to get started with the brush, btw id like to ask u how thick or thin a foundation should be applied for a bridal makeup, i like to achieve good results for eye view and also photography.....Thanks Koren for this very imformative video.
thanks for the vid! really helpful!
Have you tried MAC Studio Finish Concealer?
Thanks thanks Koren!! Hope you could make a tut how to make a brush organizer/holder the one with separate holes?? hehe..
Mine are IWATA brand and I got them from DixieArt(dot)com . They have the cheapest prices on Iwata systems.
Thanks this tutorial help me a lot, i just buy my foundation brush and works hevenly ^^, and your totally right about the sponge is better for blendet
how do you clean the brush?
thanks! i'll try it =)
ohh thankyou so much! yes i noticed she lives close to me so ill ask her :)
Yes, (But only wet it SLIGHTLY otherwise you get a face full of water.)
In my opinion, a soft tapered brush (like the one used in this video) is the best thing to use.
(Unless you are a pro.)
Good luck!
hey prettypink - you are probably better off getting compressors and guns like the pros uses. IWATA brand makes the best in AB systems. The cheapest place I know is DixieArt (dot)com I highly suggest the Jet Smart compressor and the Eclipse C gun.
oh,ok thank you
Love your videos! What's your fav. foundation and what brand is your airbrush.
If you wet the sponge first, it absorbs less of the foundation. And unless you are using makeup specialized for aging, getting it into your fine lines is only going to make them look worse.
Thank! =]
thanks a lot :D
LOL the sponge was funny. This is a very helpful video. Thank you ;)
