It seems that the idea of compartmentalizing every aspect of modern life has been finely integrated into our daily grind, from hotel rooms like The Pod in New York City (www.thepodhotel.com) to of course the first pod-ivation, the ipod (www.apple.com) to pod like pre-fab homes( some of my fave’s are from: www.weehouse.com)— it’s all about neat little packages that help to make our lives flow smoothly and efficiently.
Now, this streamline concept has hit the beauty arena with the introduction of a brand new concept for cosmetic airbrushing. Temptu, the leaders in airbrush technology, have developed a consumer level airbrush system for the home. This easy to use, mess-free, AIR pod system delivers amazingly professional results. I tested this system over a four week period and found that the system was relatively easy to use ( I tried the system on a variety of photo shoots and situations,on myself, and with a series of models ) I even traveled with it to see how robust the compressor and gun would be in my luggage, high marks for the light weight components and strength of each! The makeup pods, were easy to change and while there were a few occasions where the airbrush gun wouldn’t release product, it only took a few sweeps with a tissue to clear the head of it, and then all was smooth sailing. As with other Temptu foundations, highlighters and colors, the Pod system product is great and gives a beautiful, clean finish.
I found that airbrushing myself was a lot less challenging than I thought it would be. In fact, the level of control for a small system like this was amazing. I know from speaking with the founders of the company that they really put a lot of energy and research into getting the system just right ( in fact I had heard it was in development well over 2 years ago!) I had airbrushed myself with my Pro airbrush and that process was a lot more involved , mostly in the clean up department. While this isn’t a system I would recommend for daily use , (unless you are an on-camera kind of girl,or guy) I would suggest it for occasions where you need to look your absolute best, like for special events, weddings and such, it is well worth the investment.
