I am Caucasian in my early 50s with fair, normal skin. The other reviews offer good advice and background information. Cleaning solution and brushes are not included, but I recommend purchasing them.The bottles were not labeled as Luminous, but the company said that Matte is labeled as matte. I practiced making dots and lines on white paper with distilled water or the Golden Foundation, which I expect to use least. The machine is not marked for psi (pounds per sq inch) but clockwise turns power/airflow up. Full power applies more makeup faster to a smaller area, sometimes too much too fast. Distance creates larger, softer outlines of color dots. This sounds like common sense but it takes practice to figure out what is going on when applying to your face.To start, I recommend practicing on your face when it doesn't matter who sees the result. The Photo Finish product does not have a website or any of their own instruction videos but videos are available for other airbrush makeup products.ORDER OF APPLICATION. (1) my moisturizer (2) PF Primer (3) my concealer (4) PF Lilac Concealer (5) PF Foundations (6) PF Blush (7) PF Pearl Shimmer (8) PF Finishing PowderSpray distilled water to make sure the airflow is working correctly. Spray air through the airbrush (without makeup) for "a few minutes" before you begin painting to remove residual condensation from prior use. The Primer and makeup feels dry on my skin. Moisturizer is essential. Let it dry before applying Primer. You can airbrush air on the skin to speed drying. I use my own concealer because the Lilac Concealer is so very fair. The makeup stays on all day if you only lightly touch it. Do NOT rub your eyes, nose, skin after application. When I did (oops!), I wiped off only the ugly, offending area and airbrushed fresh over it. It blended nicely with the other makeup so I was able to still go out.I can't get my eyes right. I don't have deep eye wrinkles. But the makeup accentuates my tiny eye wrinkles. If makeup doesn't get in the trough of the wrinkle or ridge, it shows up. When I airbrush closed eyes, I still have wrinkles. If I pull the lids in any direction to try to smooth the skin, I create new tiny lines in the makeup from the stretching. It is hard to get even coverage without applying too heavy. It may still be my technique. I am still experimenting. A younger woman may not experience this problem. I have not given up.Clean airbrush with cleaner and distilled water ASAP. Blow air afterward to help remove any condensation. Once a week, I take apart the airbrush to clean it thoroughly. You don't want dried makeup to blow onto your skin or block the airway. Be very careful not to damage the needle.
