Belloccio's Professional Cosmetic Airbrush Makeup Foundation 1/2oz Bottle: Buff- Light with Golden Undertones

Great color worked well with my airbrush gun

I have a luminess airbrush system. I started out using luminess foundation and really liked it except for the price. I then scoured Amazon looking for a cheaper option and tried photo finish. They're were things I didn't like about so now I tried belloccio...it's my favorite. It is thick, so I mix 1 drop of water with 1 drop of foundation. I must say I have very oily skin, so usually the foundations I don't like will slide off or separate on the oily parts of my face. Here's pros and cons of the 3 brands I've tried Luminess- pros are gives flawless, natural looking skin Cons- expensive, the littlest bit of water takes it off, my oily skin would separate it slightly around my nose. Photo finish- pros are inexpensive, water resistant Cons- looked dry on my face, could not withstand my oily skin at all. I had dots on my nose where the oil from my skin separated the foundation as well as a mess around my nose. It would settle into fine lines too Belloccio- pros inexpensive, doesn't separate with my oily skin!! It is thick so I mix 1 drop of foundation with 1 drop of water. Lasts all day and has a natural finish! Is water resistant. Alabaster is rather pink so I mix it with Buff which is more yellow to give me a fair-light neutral shade. I tried ivory and it is not for fair skin it's definitely more on the medium side.

This foundation works really well. The only “complaint” I have is that it’s thicker than other airbrush foundations are. That tends to make it harder on my airbrush machine, but I have makeup thinner so I just add that to the mix. Great coverage and color pigments. Will be buying more in the future.

Let me start by saying I had been using an Abrams that cost about $30 for 1/2 ounce. Which don’t get me wrong is an amazing product but I just couldn’t afford it. I was very nervous about buying something online that I knew nothing about but I took a chance. I bought the exact same “name” of colors that I was previously using knowing that they would not be exactly the same but at least it was a starting point. I have been using this product for I think three months now and when I run out, which won’t be anytime soon I will be buying it again. The wear is amazing it lasts all day. Just like my other product. The coverage is not total but that is what I like. It blends out my red spots just like my other product. The ONLY con I have is that it is a bit sticky when I’m done applying but I simply dust my face with a translucent powder and that is all. The colors are a slight bit darker than my other product like some others have said. But I just mix a little more of the light in with the dark and it’s perfect. I should also mention that I am a licensed cosmetologist/instructor so I have some experience with airbrush makeup and have been personally wearing airbrush makeup daily for about 4 years now.

The Luminess system is literally the only thing I use, aside from regular eye makeup and lip color, but it can get expensive. Decided to give this a shot because it's definitely more bang for your buck for the size. First, I'm a Medium Shade 3 with Luminess. I got Belloccio's Golden Tan shade, and even though it looks really dark through the bottle, it's a good match! Feels good on my skin, as expected of an airbrush foundation, but it's consistency when dropped into the "bowl" of the airbrush is a little off for me. It settles a lot AWAY from the needle, and when I try to mix it with a drop of highlighter (for that dewy look) by back-aerating (did I spell that right), it spatters a little. Totally not the same way Luminess behaves, but if you can get over that, it's a good alternative.

Light to medium coverage easy to apply very matte smooth finish

Perfect

This is a nice foundation. The shade match for me was perfect! It gives really good coverage without having to use too much of the product. Now, it will not replace my holy grail airbrush foundation, Graftobian. But I'm pleased with it all the same. I'm using it with my Luminess Breeze airbrush machine (handheld). Pros: -Incredible shade match -Only six drops required for full coverage (for my skin) -Very smooth, velvety finish -Affordable Cons: -Not transfer proof. On doing physical activity or even just kissing my boyfriend, the makeup comes off rather easily -Fairly thick foundation compared to Graftobian and Luminess- too thick I think to use as-is in airbrush machines. I HIGHLY recommend diluting this with water and cleaning your airbrush machine thoroughly after using this foundation. I typically have to use 3-4 drops of water to dilute before spraying. I'll continue to use Graftobian for special ocassions that require an immaculate beat, or for when I know I'm going to be out in hot weather or doing physical activity that will cause me to sweat. Graftobian is incredible for longwear and very transfer resistant. However, I think this beloccio foundation is great as a daily driver whenever I just want to do a light makeup look for work or running errands. I will be using this so that I can preserve my Graftobian.
