    Yes, I use this for stage makeup. I start with regular colored foundation and then take some of this stuff and blend over. It gives a super flawless appearance, but I wouldn't use it anywhere except in the club cause it's pretty made-up looking. It is sweatproof & waterproof and stays put for a full 12 hour shift no problem.

    They have colored ones.

    I saw it at the drugstore and sprayed it on my hand and it was a little off and it looked like paint. I guess the no color one would be better for matching, but I don't get how that works either.

    a friend of mine is a makeup artist for MTV. she has been written up in magazines for her work using the airbrush technique, however her technique is much different than buying a bottle of this stuff in a drugstore. she uses professional tools and is a pro at the application process. i think it takes a pro with the right tools to make this stuff look natrual; buying in a drugstore will probably provide so-so results...

    The airbrush makeup in the can is *way* different than the airbrush makeup that actually uses an airbrush. Unfortunately the latter costs around $400 to get started with.

    You want a chinadoll face, I'd suggest finding a good foundation and then buffing a fine milled powder over the top. Old goth chick trick . Studio fix is awesome for that.

    Flawless= that's what I figured Unless you are 15 years old, having very pale skin usually means a few imperfections! I got a tan eventually to obviate that but... Goth chicks have some beauty conumdrums! It takes a lot of work!

    These are all old tricks from the 20s but we have better products now! Find a good moisturizer for your skin (Kiehl's Sodium PCA works well for younger skin especially if you are prone to oily). Let it soak in for a few minutes (What they did in the past was to put on lots of moisturizer, let it soak in then wipe off the excess with tissue - this works for a lot of people still). Find a good base that matches your skin exactly (MAC, Prescriptives, &tc.). Apply *lightly* all over and blend onto your neck to avoid lines. Brush, sponge or fingers shouldn't matter as long as you blend well and use a light hand. Use a small brush and matched concealer to cover any blemishes, spots or freckles. After patting it into the skin, use a finely milled, pigmented powder (tapped off for a minimum of powder - you can apply more if needed; MAC StudioFix is a good example, to brush lightly over your skin with a natural bristled brush (softer usually equals better). Use circular strokes like you would use to buff Bare Escentuals in and "voila!", you should have a nice finish with the powder offsetting any irregularities and keeping all of your hard work intact! The pigmented powder is really what is giving you your coverage but because of the way it lays on the skin it makes you *look* airbrushed. If you've applied too much powder you can use a cotton ball in a circular motion to pick some of it up off your skin. Just buff lightly.

    Back in the 20s, they did this on their hands as well! Can you imagine? Coty "Airspun" powder has been around since then and will still work well if you are cash strapped .

    The Airbrush in the can stuff needs buffing too so you may as well make it look perfect for all the work, right?

    I agree that you can get some amazingly flawless skin with powder techniques, but I find that it will not stand up to 18 min sets under hot lights, and when I try to reapply powder after being all sweaty it just ends up caking and looking crappy. That's why I liked this airbrush stuff, it really holds up well. Like I said it does look too made-up for everyday, but it works well for stage. The other long-wearing foundations I have tried seem to dry my skin excessively and draw attention to little lines and wrinkles.

    I have seen the air brush technique used alot on MTV and other cable programing. The look is so clean and flawless. I do agree that it takes a pro to really get that clean look..
