As a woman with acne, I'm always on the lookout for the best makeup for acne prone skin. There are so many options to choose from which can be overwhelming to cope with the decision of which one to buy. I tried all: liquids, powders, powder compact, cream powder, stick, minerals and so forth. As I walked past my local shop recently, Sephora, finally I succumbed to the temptation to try the airbrush makeup, which I had never used before.
For those unfamiliar with it, airbrush makeup is a system for applying makeup using a car that sprays a fine mist of makeup on your skin. It was used in the professional world and modeling trick for years to create a perfect "photo finish", but has not been readily available to the masses in General. Traditional systems can be complicated to use and keep clean and bulky. They are also quite expensive.
Believing that the airbrush makeup system would be too complicated for me, I was very skeptical when I sat down to get the seller to apply it to my face. She showed me how to enter the pod of makeup and set the amount of coverage that I wanted. Then closed his eyes as he turned on the machine. All I felt was a weak breeze and it was hard to believe that anything was on my skin, when stopped. However, when I opened my eyes and looked at my face looked absolutely faultless! The seller then used the machine to apply bronzer, blush and illuminator. The result was as good as you could get with a good editing software, but in real life.
The big question that remained was whether I would do the trick airbrush or breakout would irritate the blemishes that I already had. Before I had to leave the trick dry completely before touching my face at all. Then I decided to dust on some of my bareMinerals mineral veil for some oil absorption. I found it enlightening finish that had applied the shopkeeper was too bright for my liking.
After about 10 hours to wear makeup, I took a look in the mirror again. The perfect finish hadn't changed at all. While this was impressive, the real test was when I removed the trick and my face looked like the morning after. It was quite easy to wash everything with my makeup remover and cleanser. There was no anger at all. The next morning, my skin looked great and, if anything, better than before.
Definitely think airbrush makeup is an excellent product for acne prone skin. For oily skin, I suggest just using an oil control powder on top of the trick, once it has dried completely. I would also use a concealer for extremely dark undereye circles. If you use a moisturizing and acne treatment, you will have to let it dry completely before putting on makeup.
For those who are concerned about the difficulty of applying airbrush makeup alone, you should know that it takes practice. The new system of Temptu I tried seems to be the most simple out there. It's certainly lived in expectation of achieving a flawless look. My plan is to use it for long days, parties, events, and when my skin is having a really bad day. The rest of the time I will use my makeup bareMinerals to save money.
