The Best Airbrush Makeup Products That Promise Flawless Skin

Natural makeup days are all well and good, but sometimes you want to achieve a flawless, poreless and airbrushed finish that lasts all night long. And we’ve got you covered with our range of the best airbrush makeup products, including foundations, makeup brushes and even spray tans.

Airbrush face makeup is a great way to achieve a soft-focus effect like you would with an airbrush gun (or a Photoshop tool). These products help blur any imperfections, discolouration and fine lines. So, whether you’re heading for a long night of partying or prepping your wedding makeup, airbrush products are a great way to achieve fuller coverage and long-lasting flawless looks.

To help you out we’ve rounded up all our faves. Check them out below!

STEP 1: PRIMER

A primer is an essential step for an airbrushed look, as it'll help fill in your pores and give a smooth base for applying foundation. If you've got any rough patches or blemishes, foundation will glide over them much better with a layer of primer between, and if you've got oily skin, a mattifying primer ensure your foundation doesn't slide right off.

Here are a few top picks to get your best base:

STEP 2: FOUNDATION

The next step in your airbrushed makeup routine is foundation. Medium to full coverage in a matte finish is best for this look in order to hide all pores, blemishes and shine.

FOUNDATION APPLICATION

Rubbing a bit of BB Cream onto your face with your fingers might be alright for a natural makeup day, but you'll want to use a foundation brush or sponge to achieve this airbrushed look. If you're going to use a sponge, we recommend dampening it and applying a few thin layers until you have the coverage you want. For a brush, try a big, fluffy brush to softly buff on your foundation.

Remember, we don't want any cakiness, so even though this is a full-coverage look, don't be too heavy-handed!

STEP 3: CONCEALER

Whilst dark circles (and any imperfections) are nothing to be ashamed of, they do kind of throw off the airbrushed makeup look, which is all about looking magazine-cover levels of flawless. Give any problem areas the extra touch-up they need with a full-coverage concealer.

STEP 4: SETTING SPRAY AND/OR POWDER

It's no good putting in all this hard work if it's just going to disappear or smudge by 2 p.m. Primers help tonnes but they aren't magic, so you'll want a setting spray or finishing powder (or both) to help lock in your look no matter what you get up to. A matte spray is going to be your best bet as this look isn't super shiny, and you did already spend all that time choosing a mattifying primer.

BONUS STEP: SELF TANNER

A fake tan can help hide any freckles, scars or discolouration on your body, or on your face that might still show through your makeup.

So, there you have it. Everything from fake tan to foundation to ensure the best airbrushed, flawless skin. For more top beauty tips why not take a look at Best Makeup Setting Sprays To Keep Your Look in Place and How to Contour: A Step by Step Guide for Beginners.
