I use the Luminess system too but I really dislike their foundations. I bought the MAC Airbrush foundation and am currently using that instead. I like but I accidently bought it a couple shades too dark so I lighten it up using Luminess lol

Wow - that was a very thorough overview of airbrush makeup!

Keep in mind that when using water to clean your airbrush gun, make sure it's distilled water. Tap water has minerals and pigments in it that will harm your system
 

I mean 'mineral and chemicals'! No pigments - I hope.
Basically, if your makeup is silicone-based, use a silicone-based cleaner; if it's water-based, use a water-based cleaner.
