Since seeing the Temptu AIRbrush Makeup System last year at IMATS I’ve been dying to get my hands on one. I do some bridal and prom makeup throughout the year for people, but not nearly enough to warrant purchasing a system that I, admittedly, really only wanted for my personal use. With the release of the new Kaleidoscope Collection AIRbrush Makeup System 2.0 I was fortunate enough to be sent one for testing and review along with a foundation in my shade and a bronzer.
Once the system was here I was definitely intimidated. One: because I don’t assemble things well (ever) and Two: because… well who wants to screw up and be all “I suck I can’t airbrush, sorry”. It’s like being told “You can’t sit with us”.
I worried for absolutely NOTHING. Temptu includes extremely easy to follow instructions for assembling the AIRbrush Makeup System 2.0 and preparing the AIRpods for use. You’ll also find how-to get started with flawless foundation as well as tips on Trigger Control and the Dial, which provides adjustable air flow. There are also professional tips on the back so you can give yourself the most flawless airbrushed beauty known to man and getting Temptu’s Signature Look.

I began with my foundation, which is in the shade 005 Beige. Below you can see the Before (left) and After (right) photo. You only get to see me in no makeup (in the before photo) because I love you guys and loved how natural the Temptu AIRbrush System made my face. You can adjust the dial or layer for more coverage.

Next I applied the Bronzer, which is in the shade Warm Glow. I bronzed very lightly all over my face and concentrated a bit more to accentuate the hollows of my cheeks.

Visit the website for tips from the pros on how to apply the AIRbrush Makeup System to lips, cheeks, body and eyes as well as the do’s and don’ts of airbrushing!
In the end I was smitten with the AIRbrush Makeup System and kicking myself for not picking up a compressor last year! Have you tried airbrushing either yourself or on someone else? What are your tips?
You can purchase a complete Temptu Signature Starter Kit (which is the AIRbrush Makeup System 2.0, a foundation pod, highlighter pod and blush pod) for $200 at Temptu.com. There are also plenty of other options and kits for you to take advantage of. Be sure to keep up with Temptu on Facebook - Twitter - Instagram - Google+.
I confess, I’ve had a Temptu system for two or three years and I’ve never opened it. I’m TERRIFIED of it. You’ve inspired me to try it…

You can totally do it! It’s fantastic!
Oh nice! I have a similar Temptu Air Pod system for my clients and do like it lots. I feel the best way to finish application (just me personally) is to use a Beauty Blender around corners (eyes and nose).

Thank you for the tip!! I want to practice more and really master as much as I can before I actually begin to offer it.
I also wanted to say watch Cory Bishop, he has the best videos when he was at Temptu, he explains everything super well. Sorry I pressed sent too fast, feel free to add this to my other comment.

thank you!!
I have the Temptu SP 35 system. I love it. I love how it makes your skin look glowy and healthy, and it doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup.
I have this system and absolutely love it. I love the natural finish and how easy it is compared to other airbrushing machines. Not going to lie, I am obsessed with the fact that yours in pink. Love it!!!!

You won’t want to use anything else!
I have an airbrush but I feel like it has a steep learning curve. I need to break it out and play with it again.

I was shocked I didn’t have issues with this. I get easily distracted and simple directions to build things usually confuse me lol I was so happy this was easy!
I bought a Temptu at TMS NY last year when I saw you! Yours is better though because its pink!
I wanted one last year! I’m glad I waited because I’d have been mad and wanted a pink too lol
I like the result on you, but I am bit scared to use something like that.

I would love to try these. They kind of scare me, like they would be messy.

It didn’t get it in my hair or on my shirt at all. I think unless you hold it in one spot for too long (which you aren’t supposed to do anyway) it doesn’t noticeably get anywhere. However, I imagine doing your face before getting dressed would be smart. I didn’t and wasn’t messy. I also don’t go anywhere, tho, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if it did lol
I’ve seen this system in action and it’s amazing. It makes your skin absolutely flawless.

I returned my temptu last year - and I regret doing so… but it was a purchase I was kind of pressured into making and since I had my luminess air - I figured I would return it. Should I ever need another machine for my kit - this will surely be it.
