When I tied the knot 3 years ago, it wasn't difficult to look for a makeup artist because all I need to do is have my trial makeup done, take a photo of it, liked it, then moved on!
Unlike brides today, looking for a Make-up artist is difficult enough, choosing the type of make-up is another story! I always get queries on Traditional? Or Airbrush Makeup?

After I won my first Glambox Airbrush Kit, that was the time I got exposed to airbrush makeup! I moved forward to try on different brands of airbrush foundation because, as I always say... "Variety is Good!"

Pros- Has a protective cap you need to remove after purchase.
- Super lightweight, almost 2nd skin feel!
- You can control coverage from light-heavy.
- Stays on skin for the whole day with minimal retouching needed.
- Does not give out a white cast on both photos and in person!
- No streaks
- Does not transfer to clothing.
- I am not a fan of this messy twist-like packaging! It's very messy!
- Difficult to find your perfect shade, though there are a wide range of shades available from Graftobian GlamAire, locally, the shades available are limited.
- Mixing and matching shade colors can be challenging.
- If you have acne scars, marks, you need double the effort to cover it with this product, I suggest to use a separate concealer to spot correct.
- Pricey!
I actually tried using these on both the airbrush machine and with a Beauty Blender. Both have a similar result but of course, the airbrush system is more convenient (during application but a pain to clean! LOL).
Tips
- Prep your skin and you can choose to protect it with a face primer prior to air brush foundation application.
- An airbrush system is optional! You can try these airbrush foundation using sponge or stippling brush.
- Always begin with clean, oil-free skin. Try not to use any oil based skin care products to prevent foundation from sliding.
- You can mix airbrush foundation like I did! Practice makes perfect!
- I personally like to correct and conceal first prior to applying thin layer of airbrush foundation.
- If you have oily skin: you can choose your preferred oil control setting powder to let makeup stays longer.
- If you have dry skin: you can choose to add up a bit of moisturizing spritz or moisturizer on dry areas!
- Always be ready with a towel as this could get messy especially when you're in a hurry!
Will I repurchase?
I'll try other brands! I actually bought OCC!
To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone who wants to try airbrush makeup! You can always start with a tube, no need to purchase the whole airbrush system! I think this is the best way to try airbrush makeup by starting with the foundation and a Beauty Blender OR Stippling brush.
Where to purchase and how much?
I bought mine locally from HD Makeup Studio & Academy website for Php1,500 (approx $35.70) per bottle + Shipping.
Graftobian Midnight Marigold
Graftobian Graceful Swan
Here's what I do without the airbrush system
using my Beauty Blender
I use the bottom part to "bounce" the foundation
on larger areas of my face
Using the tip of the Beauty Blender to spot conceal
I also like to use a bit of the Midnight Marigold to contour
Difficult to find the Graftobian shade that matches you especially on online ordering? I got this from PaintandPowderstore website, print screen for your reference! Please note that the chart below is just for reference! Testing the shades in person is still the best --- Just like Breast milk! (LOL Where did that come from?)

I bought an OCC Airbrush Foundation too which I will review too!
Have you tried using Airbrush foundation applied manually?
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
