People ask me all the time, "What kind of airbrushes and makeup do you use for body paintings?"

So, I finally got around to organizing this little info post featuring all of my favorite body painting products.

Keep in mind, every body paint artist has different taste, but this is exactly what I prefer to use.

The Omni Matrix Airbrush


click to purchase

I recommend this airbrush to all beginners because of it's patented ability to quickly switch between gravity feed and siphon feed.

Gravity feed is when the cup is attached to the top of the airbrush, and siphon feed is when a bottle attaches to the bottom.

It's basically two types of airbrushes in one. Gravity feed is best for learning.

Siphon feed is better for speed but can introduce more clogs and maintenance issues because of the addition of the paint bottle.

I always recommend gravity feed first and then work your way up to siphon feed.
