How to Make Airbrush Face Paint
- 1). Thoroughly clean a blender with soap and water. Rinse out all of the soap.
- 2). Pour in 1 1/2 cups of makeup fixer, which is available at most costume shops. It is sold under various names, such as Ben Nye's Final Seal, MAC's Mist & Fix and Kryolon's Fixer Spray. This is the main medium for the face paint and will help it to adhere to the skin.
- 3). Add 2 oz. of Isopropyl Myristate to the blender. This will make the face paint easier to remove.
- 4). Add 1 oz. of 70 percent rubbing alcohol to the mixture. This will help to keep the face paint sterile.
- 5). Blend the mixture at medium speed for 30 seconds.
- 6). Break up an 8 oz. disk of pancake makeup in the color of your choice. This provides the face paint's pigment.
- 7). Add the pieces to the blender one by one with the blender still on medium. Remove the lid's center cap for this; do not take off the entire lid while the blender is on.
- 8). Turn the blender to high when all of the pancake makeup has been added. Blend the mixture for 5 minutes.
- 9). Pour the face paint into a jar or bottle and screw on the lid. This mixture dries very quickly, so it should not be left open.
