Air Brush your face! You've been reading about it in all the magazines, and now it's here! A personalized version of an airbrush kit from Air Craft Airbrush Cosmetics. This portable unit takes up little room on your counter top so it's always ready. The foundation is the first of it's kind in that now you can apply it and still use your favorite concealer, blush, or touch up with brushes and sponges. The other airbrush foundations can't do that.
