Airbrush makeup lasts and lasts...12 hours!!  I can apply for interview and never have to reapply for stage later that night in some some cases--- a real time saver for a cramped schedule. I just add color for stage and intensify!

These two lovelies like their INK! She was presenting a VIP award for a City of Chicago awards night-to her Mother!  She wanted to be the most presentable version of HER. Her forearms were sleeve style, elbow to wrist tats that were outlined in the dreaded... black! abra cadabra! I chose airbrush paramedical waterproof formulas for her big night! This sweetie called me Houdini!
HE is a brilliant actor! And covered in Black tattoos (4 of them I believe) My job- cover them to return him to  his god-given naked skin version of himself. the biggest challenge was getting enough coverage and durability for his scenes-without looking like makeup! I like a challenge and a great canvas. These two cuties are BOTH- indeed!
