Hi! Yes....you will need some sort of compressed air to supply the airbrush affect. You can buy them in kits (compressor,airbrush,air hose ect) or just buy the compressor.

You can buy compressed air cans also. You don't have to buy a compressor but they are better to have. I know from experience. The cans don't last long enough. Look on Craigslist for a compressor I found mine there. It was new for only $50.


You can also look in pawn shops for a cheap one too. Or look on ebay.

Can put on airbrush makeup yourself?

You CAN, but I wouldn't recommend it for one reason: the equipment to do it is really, really expensive if you're not doing a lot of people. You need a compressor and an airbrush. BTW, the "airbrush makeup" they sell at the drugstore is a ripoff: it comes in an aerosol can, and you're supposed to spray it on your hand then apply it with your fingers. If you're going to apply it with your fingers ANYWAY, why not get just regular foundation?

No, you cannot. Latex is too thick to flow freely through airbrush and will cause sputtering. You need an airless sprayer for latex paint.


What size electric motor do you need to run an air compressor I have a furnace blower motor. Would that be suitable or do I need a heavier duty one?

It would all depend on the size of the compressor. If it's a small one(like for an airbrush gun) it might just work, but if it's a compressor to power impact wrenches or similar it'd probably not work.

Is luminess airbrush makeup as good as they say and does it cover good without settling into lines does it really give the coverage and a flawless finish they say tv models use this?

Did you ever spray paint anything? Notice how the paint flowed into every crack and crease? Airbrush makeup is sprayed on, so it does the same thing. Advantages: yes, you get a very nice finish. That's why airbrush makeup is the standard for HDTV. Disadvantages: the product is REALLY expensive--a lot of pro artists take regular foundation makeup and dilute it with water to a sprayable viscosity and use that. It's not waterproof, so you'll sweat it off faster. And you need more than Luminess says you do because it's laid down in very thin coats. Plus, the equipment is hella expensive. I don't know about y'all, but a compressor costs a hundred bucks and a good airbrush about $130, and you can get the most exquisite regular brush set on the market for less than that. Add the maintenance requirements of an airbrush--if you don't clean it right you WILL clog it, and unclogging an airbrush is no fun--and the noise of a compressor. Basically, if you're making up a lot of people airbrush is great (and if you're making up a HUGE amount of people, like a choir, it's possible to use a regular spray gun and do everyone's foundation in a minute apiece) but if it's just for you, I don't think the economics come out. Disadvantage of Luminess specifically: the equipment is not high quality but they charge an arm and a leg for it. Go to Harbor Freight and buy their under-$100 airbrush compressor, add a $100 Badger airbrush, and you've got a better system for less money.
