Better Than The Competition??? Not So Much
I originally bought a different well know brand Airbrush System that starts with an "L". I only had to use it once before I sent it back. The foundations were orange and the machine was cheap. I did some research and decided to give this system a try. Right out of the box I knew Belloccio was a much better quality system. My skin tone is fair but going into the summer months I decided to purchase the medium shade foundations; great choice. I have had a hard time deciding which shade works the best with my skin tone because they all work so well without a hint of orange. The system is easy to use and clean-up is a breeze, easy enough for daily use. This is my first Airbrush System, if you don't count the one I had for a day. My favorite and completely unexpected benefit of this product is that after a few or more hours of wear, my face doesn't become shinny. My face stays flawless all day; I don't have to apply a touch-up powder. It does not leave my skin feeling dry either. I tend to have sensitive skin and haven't experienced a problem with breakouts. In addition to the foundations, you also receive some of their Opulence Tanning Solution. This product completely activates between 2 to 4 hours. I tend to freckle so I keep my face and hands out of the sun. The tanning solution allows me to tan my hands and face and I don't have to worry about freckling, hence having a tan all over. My only regret is that I thought about making this purchase for several years before I did; I wish I would have purchased it sooner.
UPDATE: I'm on my 3rd machine. I have religiously cleaned each unit after every use with hot water, cleaning solution and Q-tips but after only a couple of months of use, each of the units have experienced the same malfunctions. Either they do not spray or when they do, they sprays out in drops, not a fine mist. For the price, I am wondering if an airbrush system intended for models would work the same or better at about half the cost. Any thoughts?
