With the new technology of high definition television (HDTV), make- up artists
have to add the skills of airbrushing to their repertoire. Both HDTV and
digital photography show every detail to the extreme. Therefore, standard
make-up looks far too heavy and false in these mediums.
By using a compressor and airbrush gun, micronized make-up is dispersed so
finely that, if applied correctly, it cannot be seen. It gives invisible
coverage. There are several different formulas of foundation that can be used.
Hydro (water base) gives a natural, dewy look and is used on the
face. However, like all water base formulas it can rub off on clothing. Temptu SB (silicone base) looks dewy like hydro but is non-transferrable.
Silicone and alcohol base are
good choices to cover tattoos, birthmarks and for use on areas where clothing
may rub against the body.
These new skills
are essential for every media make-up artist. You can also charge more for
weddings when you do airbrushing.

Care and Cleaning of the Airbrush Gun and Compressor
Award Studio has created a program that combines the wisdom and techniques of
top industry professionals in the field of high definition technology. We use
Kett Cosmetics which was created by a television producer, in conjunction with
a chemist and makeup artist. They produce the finest high resolution airbrush
makeup available. We work with Iwata Medea duel action airbrush guns and
compressors, which are the finest on the market for beauty application. We also
use some airbrush products from MAC. Since we are not promoting one single
brand, you learn how and why to use all the best airbrush products the industry
has to offer. As the technology evolves we will continue to stay on the cutting
edge of the airbrush industry.
If you are not already a certified media makeup artist you need to take our
complete Media Makeup Artistry Course which covers many other aspects of camera
makeup, as well as photo sessions for your portfolio and ways to market
yourself. However, if you are currently working as a media makeup artist and
just need to learn airbrushing so you can compete in the new realm of HD, you
may enroll for the Airbrush Makeup Class alone. Please contact the director,
Amy Ward, to discuss the details.
All the makeup you see here and throughout our website is
done by students during class at Award Studio.
