Levi taught every thing from different kinds of formulas of the foundation that we can use for certain occasions from covering a tattoo with our airbrush machine. Ruby Makeup Academy provided us with our very own Dinair airbrush compressor and a starter kit.
S/B: Silicone Base
Aqua: Water Base
Dura: Durable
He recommended Silicone Base for every thing to glamour makeup to wedding makeup. He also took us threw the steps on applying foundation
1) Remove any oils from the skin
2) Spray a toner all over face
3) Moisturize the skin
4) Prime the face
5) Conceal and dark circles or blemishes with concealer
6) Always color match on jaw line
7) When using two different colors to get the right color make sure you back bubble to mix them in your gun
8) Start working in small circles to get the desired coverage you want on your or your clients face
He also taught us how to contour with our machine and how to apply eyeshadow even how to apply eyebrows with it. Which I thought was amazing and would come in handy when you have a client that has very little eyebrows or none at all.
Overall I thought that the class was a amazing way to be brought into the airbrushing scene since there is such a big calling for it now. Like I said before the instructor was amazing I learned so much from him and his work is amazing. Ive been practicing with my machine because I have my first wedding gig this Saturday I have to do the bride and four bridesmaids makeup. I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time =]
Here's my certificate I recieved in the mail a couple days ago =]
