Hi,
I am new to the forum, and ran across this thread.. I have been using airbrush makeup for about a year now. I started with Dinair, and wanted to explore all my options. I have used Kett, Temptu, O2 Cosmetics, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, Malvadi, Graftobian, and I'm sure there's more I can't think of right now.. I am not a makeup artist, and the only reason I use airbrush makeup is because if I touch my skin with my fingers or a brush to apply foundation it breaks out something horrible. There is no exaggeration there either. I mean 5 minutes of applying foundation will give me 2 weeks of acne. I tried gloves, I tried washing my hands constantly, nothing worked.
Anyways, before I started using airbrush, I used Estee Lauder Double Wear and loved the way it stayed on all day and helped with oil control. The airbrush makeup still makes my skin oily, so I wanted to look into thinning Double Wear out to run through my gun. I contacted Estee Lauder and found out the main ingredient was water, not silicone. I thought great, I can just add water. Well I added some water to the foundation and had a HUGE mess.. It was awful and it would have never run through my gun. Do I need to use 244 thinner or figure something else out? I've heard of using Revlon Colorstay with 244 thinner, but I would just like some suggestions for thinning water based foundation!
Thanks for any help!
