Airbrush makeup is not a new concept to the makeup industry. It has been used in film for many years. Airbrush makeup was used in the movie Ben Hur in 1922. It was then used as a fast technique of applying makeup to many actors. Airbrush makeup picked up a bit more popularity in the 1970s. It was originally thought of as an area of specialty in the cosmetic world. Today, airbrush makeup is on the rise in popularity due partially to the increase in technology such as digital pictures and digital television and its long-lasting durability. In the past, film and television makeup was exaggerated so that the actors did not appear to be washed out. Some makeup had to be applied darker than normal to be seen in the bright lights while other times colors choices were limited due to the color of light. Cameras, lighting, and viewing quality were not as clear and exact. The viewers could not see lines in the makeup; therefore, the lines were not quite defined. Makeup covering facial imperfections such as blemishes and scars was less visible. Many touch-ups were needed. In other cases, film speed greatly affected the makeup, making everything visible. The makeup artist needed to be concerned with film sensitivity before applying makeup. Today, digital pictures and digital television have enhanced faces so that every line, blemish, and blend can be seen clearly. Close-up shots are common. As a result, today's film and television makeup have adjusted to the need for perfection and precision by relying on airbrush makeup.
