We have entered the time of our civilization where aesthetic value plays a huge role. Our current market is dominated by companies that offer products and services that promise to enhance our appearance. From clothes, shoes, beauty products, skin care products to spas, salons, and health care services: they all revolve in the idea of beauty. And we all know that this is partly because vision is our most dominant sense.

Given the beauty-defined world that we live in, it is not surprising that we keep on looking for areas wherein we can incorporate beauty ideals. For instance, a mere airbrush has fit in to several applications in the name of beautification. An airbrush is a small air operated tool that sprays various media like paint, ink, and dye by the process of nebulization. Airbrushes are often used in art and illustrating applications but were later on incorporated to other areas. The following are some of the modern application of airbrush:

Auto-Painting -- Probably the most common use of airbrush can be seen on auto painting. Airbrushes allow auto-painters to have that right amount of coating that they need in painting customized designs for cars and concealing car scratches and repairing discoloration that are difficult to achieve with normal brushes. Airbrush paint is a better option than using vinyl stickers for cars that may be difficult to remove.

Concealing stretch marks and blemishes -- We have already known how makeups were used to cover up upsetting scars, freckles, and burns.  But what you might actually don’t know is that today, airbrush makeup artists in thePhilippines are using airbrush painting to conceal blemishes and body stretch marks to give a more natural feel and look that foundation and concealers cannot.

Concealing Tattoos – While there are already laser treatments that can get rid of unwanted tattoos in matter of several sessions. Airbrush makeup has found a temporary solution to conceal your tattoos when you need to. Airbrush makeup artists take advantage of those alcohol-based makeup paints to hide those tattoos.

Fingernail Painting – Airbrush artist have found wonderful ways to get rid of those annoying brush strokes on your finger nails through the use of small airbrushes.

Models and toys –
Architects, engineers, and toy model enthusiasts can now use air brush to give their models that just enough thin coat of paint that cannot be achieved through the use of brushes. For toys, the thin coat would be ideal in preserving the it quality without sacrificing the mobility of the move-able parts being stuck together cause by paint that hardened in between moveable parts.

Street Art – Spray paints are easy to carry around and don’t make a lot of mess compared to traditional wall paint and street artists have learned to incorporate airbrushes in their art.

These are some of the modern application of airbrushes that is brought to us by our current society’s quest for beauty. Not everyone may be pleased by how it has turned out but nonetheless it has pushed us to seek other applications for something that is easily overlooked such an airbrush. This is a proof of how humanity will adapt through changes that might come to us.
