Sephora TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System Haul and Review

Temptu AIRbrush System

So I took the plunge during the Sephora friends and family sale.
I got the Temptu machine,Porcelain airpods, and a Kat Von D palette in rock and roll (for free becoming Sephora V.I.B).
I've really been wanting an airbrush for awhile,and I do have an SKII but thats a mini handheld airbrush machine,and nowhere near the quality of this.
I must say it is so beautiful.Its small,portable,and the compresser isn't to loud.It has a control to change the settings from low to high depending on how much pressure you want which determines how much coverage of the foundation you'll get.
The design is very sleek and modern,and the perfect size.
The price is $225 for the machine and $55 for the 2 foundation pods.

Now onto the pros & cons:

Pros:
-Lightweight system-good for travel
-Quiet compressor
-Controllable coverage
-Hygenic makeup application
-Fast makeup application

Cons:
-Had to use alot of foundation to get full coverage
-Feels heavy on my skin (dry,dehydrated skin)
-Finish was very matte looking
-Foundation faded after a few hours
-Can only use TEMPTU airpod foundation

Final Conclusion:

These are just my opinions,so you may have a different view.
I recommend going to Sephora to have them put this on you,and wear it for a day before making a decision.
While it is nice to have,unfortunately for me it didn't live up to the hype.
This may work better for someone else,but I think i'll be giving other pro airbrush systems a try.

HD is the newest technology.Almost all of the news,TV shows,and movie producers have already integrated HD into their productions.

Always remember-HD standard is the film standard.Film standard=FLAWLESS!
Makeup artist have already been using "HD"similar products & Techniques for years,but now-even more so.

Makeup is so different for HD due to the picture perfect clarity.So now,more than ever,makeup artists are required to create utter perfection.No room for mistakes! Why,you ask?

Textures,such as lines,wrinkles,pores are so much more apparent.
Colors show up a bit different on screen.The smallest minor detail such as the wrong lipstick color,can appear harsh through the new technology camera lenses.
Makeup must be seamlessly blended,or lines or demarcation will be visible.The goal as always,is to create a flawless look.
To do that,you need the proper products & tools.
HD foundations are said to provide full coverage without feeling or looking too thick or heavy.
They contain photochromatic particles that reflect light instead of absorbing it, blurring fine lines and imperfections,appearing flawless on camera.
I've compiled some sites below to help you on your quest in purchasing some awesome,tried & true HD makeup.

I really have been wanting to purchase an airbrush machine.

They are expensive but if you do alot of freelance work-it would pay for itself in the long run.

Right now my kit consists of cinema secrets foundation palettes,as well as graftobian's glamour creme palettes.They are cheap (about $20 for 5 shades) & yield beautiful,flawless results.

I've also heard of cargo blu ray hi def makeup..haven't tried it but need to get my happy behind to sephora :)

Great HD makeup products:
