Posted by Steph McGathy First and foremost...make sure you are using a waterbased cosmetic approved for use on the face. Second, you should be able to spray your make-up at no more than 12-15 psi. When you work around the eyes, make sure you never spray upward. The eyes will instinctivly close when the air blows on them... Use a double action airbrush so you can spray the air first then the make-up...this give them that few seconds to get used to the air pressure and to close their eyes. Start off the side of the face and slowly move to the skin then start the make-up...this will make it easier to get clean coverage...people usually jump when they feel the air right on their face... When spraying around the nose or mouth, take a breath when you tell them to so you remember to stop and let them breath..it's easy to get focused on spraying and forget they are not breathing... Another thing..be carefull not to spray directly into the ear canal. Use a q-tip to block it. Hopefully I've given you a good base to start with... Good luck, get lots of pictures and report back about your experience! Take care Link: http://www.trendytribals.com

I have been airbrushing faces and bodies for almost 12 years and have never gotten make-up in someones eyes... well except my own..lol..hard to airbrush your own face and not look..
Also don't spray too heavily, the creases on the face are pretty deep and can crack when they smile...
