Airbrush at Home!




Aero Minerale Makeup Mist: $14.99 (Drugstore.com)


Where do I start with this little gem I recently found, at Bed, Bath & Beyond of all places! As a makeup artist, I offer professional airbrush makeup application for that super even, flawless effect. I've been looking for a great product that is easy and more affordable for friends/clients to use at home, and I finally did! Here's the catch--it's just like an aerosol hairspray can so you have to practice a little to get an even application with the color, but a little seriously goes a looong way! You can even spray some on your hand and use a makeup brush to apply if you're worried about it getting everywhere, but the point is to let the mist really settle on its own, so I recommend spraying directly onto your face. You can also spray directly onto a sponge and apply it that way..whatever you're comfortable with. The mist comes in about 5-6 colors and if you're like me, who loves that bronzed look, you'll want to go a shade up. This brings me to another use for this product--a finishing bronze setting spray. I'm not a big foundation person on a daily basis so i would actually use this to add that hint of bronze to my face and also set my makeup all at once. Think of mineral makeup (ie- Bare Escentuals Warmth) in a can. There's a high-end product out there that I've been trying to find at drugstore prices:

Guerlain Terracotta Spray Bronzing Powder Mis: $59 (Nordstroms.com)

I love this product, but it's so pricey! So, now you can pick up a can of Aero Minerale and get that amazing flawless foundation finish or that perfect glow without breaking the bank!
