STEP 1: Start with 10-12 drops of Temptu Airpod foundation. This amount allows for additional coverage if necessary.Using small circle like motions, start applying the product just below the jawline and work upwards. Keep a palm’s length distance away from the face to control the coverage more easily.
STEP 2: Create a contour color using a shade or two darker than the foundation. Start at the hair line just below the cheek and work slowly into the face. Use a light hand to ensure an even coverage. If you add too much, use a damp sponge to soften the area. Continue to contour around the temple and the center of the chin.
STEP 3: Angling the airbrush gun slighlty downward, apply a peachy color to the cheek. Turn down the pressure and apply the same color to the lips as a stain.
STEP 4: Complete the look with Invisble Difference Finishing Powder on the center of the face.
