Definitely helpful!!! I'm curious though,...I'm looking to purchase an airbrush for my costuming purposes, to make the clown makeup for Harley Quinn easier. So I think a top/gravity would be best since it's primarily face makeup, around the eyes etc. But if I wanted to use it for more--IE, if I had a costume with bared neck, shoulders, arms, hands--would a top feed still work? Or would it not work quite as well since it is smaller?

@spikensalem Go with the top feed for what you have in mind I think. Bottom feed would only help if you were going to do much more in the way of production or cover more bodies. Be aware though, checkers with an airbrush requires pretty practiced control and hand masking skills.

You're a goof, but great info ; )

[BodyPainterRich]

@deathbyroxy That's what my kids say too. Still, better an interesting goof than a boring talking head, no?

Hey Rich..please post some more videos and show me your set up...I want to master airbrush makeup :) I so need to meet you when I move to Cali this June..LOL

[spikensalem]

@BodyPainterRich Thanks for the advice. :) Fortunately, there are no diamonds on the face...it's just a mask with white face, and the white is the part I was having the most trouble with.

Do you know anything about Dinair, or should I probably stick with something you mentioned in the video? 

[BiancaDrumea]

Your video is great. :)

By the way, thanks again for the Iwata Power Jet Pro tip on MM. I guess is the best thing I could get for my needs. :D
