All about classified cosmetics

Airbrushing was first used by makeup artists for use on celebrities of the stage, film and screen to produce a flawless foundation on which to apply their other makeup.Yolanda Halston, a top makeup artist and founder of Classified cosmetics became aware of the need for the use of airbrushing for women who had undergone cosmetic laser surgery.Their smooth healing skin was unable to use a standard makeup base.The products counteracted with the surgery and were drying the skin, causing new wrinkles to form.

It took Yolanda Halston five years to develop her new makeup, Era Face.The product line was introduced to the public in November of 2001.It comes in an aerosol container and is sprayed directly onto the face.Her product can be used not only by women who have had laser surgery but by everyone who wants to achieve a flawless finish with their makeup.

To use Era Face spray on foundation, you need to start with a clean, dry and moisturized face.Pull your hair out of the way and secure it with an Era head wrap.Drape a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothing.Be sure to shake the container well before applying, especially the first time.The product is made of 60 percent water and must be mixed well to achieve the proper finish.Always test the consistency by spraying a little bit on your hand first.Once you're sure that you have the right consistency, use the product from your hand as an under eye concealer for dark circles or to cover blemishes by dotting on with your finger or an applicator sponge.Next, hold the can approximately eight inches away from your face, close your eyes and evenly spray the formula in a zigzag pattern down the center of your face.

Always remember that when using the product, less is more.If you have applied it correctly, you shouldn't look like you are wearing makeup at all.Wait about ten seconds and then press your skin with an Era puff to remove any excess moisture.The last step is to buff your skin.Using your Era puff in downward strokes lightly buff your face.By doing this you are making your foundation able to last all day and water resistant.If you wish to apply multiple layers of the product, always press and buff between layers.
