DO YOU OFFER AIRBRUSH ? AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIRBRUSH AND TRADITIONAL APPLICATION? 
Yes, and I really do love it. Essentially airbrush and traditional makeup is a way of application. Airbrush makeup typically using an air compressor to push foundation through the airbrush gun. Traditional makeup uses a variety of formulas from cream, to liquid to gel. In both cases, the application can be very sheer or build up to fuller coverage.
