My fist set was a power cat and I still use the little cheep compressor .. you can get finer lines with practice and buy changing your tips. In my tattoos and body art I ONLY use a bottom feed gun how ever with the price of my make up I use the graved feed (top) when doing makeup ..it seems to take less to get throw the gun.BTW I use TEMTU makeup with it.
I got my little power cat off ebay for 60 + dollars with gun,compressor and every thing.. just make sure the psi is under ..30psi I think and your gun should ALWAYS be a duel achene. But the most important thing about any air brush is to clean clean clean them when you are dun.
all the models I have worked on cant stop talking about how much they love the look, the feel and the longevity.
With that said I dont use it on my self much at all. and wouldn't pack it all up to take with me to do my own makeup.
Hope that helps

Hey Toni,
Thanks soo much for the info! You were really creative in finding the different compressors, Bagger and Power Cat.
I used to do construction about 6 years ago and I used a really fine mist spray gun and compressor to paint over bath tub chips and fiberglass counter tops.
You can pick those up in any hardware store. But, for just starting out with the makeup, body art, tats and sunless tanning, I kinda wanna get one that's used for that....start out small and then go bigger. I have NO idea how to use a spray gun on a face (a bathtub, maybe, but not a face
and so this way I'll learn and then go bigger from there.
Thank you!
