THE ART OF AIRBRUSH MAKEUP: A SMOOTH REVOLUTION IN BEAUTY
Airbrush makeup, invented in 1882, started in photo retouching and evolved into a beauty industry favorite. Popularized in 1930s Hollywood, it's known for its smooth, flawless finish and long-lasting wear. Ideal for HD cameras, it applies makeup in a fine mist without brushes. Though it requires professional skill and may not suit all skin types, it offers hygienic, customizable results—making it a top choice in film, TV, and photography.
