This is my 3rd Air Brush machine. I have previously purchased Dinair (HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE) and Luminess--both of which are WAAAAAY overpriced and on the Dinair (which I used for 4yrs), the cord constantly had to be replaced. It came with a few samples of their overpriced makeup, which didn't match my skintone and some cheap plastic bag. The Pinkiou is a beautiful fuschia pink color and although it doesn't include the makeup, you can buy that here on Amazon for under $10, there are several different brands to choose from Belloccio, Aeroblend and Art of Air, are really good ones. I WOULD NOT USE REGULAR LIQUID MAKEUP IN THIS MACHINE, it would probably clog the sprayer eventually, even if diluted. More than likely, you will have to buy a couple and blend them, along with a few drops of water, for the best match and consistency. The foundation made for this machine, is highly pigmented, so you don't have to use a lot and it lasts much longer. This machine also includes a little tool for tightening the screws on the sprayer, which I haven't had to use and a little bulb type of syringe--not sure what that's for. It also has different speeds, unlike the Luminess (which is a racket, that they try to hook you into, with auto-delivered, overpriced makeup--that didn't match my skintone). One caution, as with all of these electrical gadgets, do NOT store the power cords wrapped up or the wires will break and they will have to be replaced. For cleaning (which I do, after every use), mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water, run it through the sprayer a few times, even putting your finger on the tip and pulling the trigger back, to really clean it out. After using an airbrush, I will NEVER go back to smearing makeup on my face with my fingers ever again and I love the fact that the makeup lasts ALLLLL day, until I scrub it off, plus covers all of my imperfections. When using an airbrush, keep it about 8-10 inches from your face, moving your hand in a circular motion. There are instructional videos on YouTube, that will tell you how to use it.The Pinkiou is a fantastic bargain and I am so happy to have found it.
