Neo for Iwata CN Gravity Feed Airbrush Kit for Beginners, DIY Painting, Crafts, Hobby Airbrushing

If you're a Makeup Artist that does Bridal Makeup, unfortunately, you'll get a lot Brides that want airbrushed foundation. I'm just going to be honest and say I'm not a fan of airbrushing foundation on the face. I didn't want to invest a lot of money into this airbrushing thing, but I also wanted decent quality gun and compressor. I did some research, made sure the information was recent and found that we only need a compressor with a psi of 15 for applying foundation. I think this compressor has more than enough psi for foundation and tanning airbrushing. For reference I'll list out the foundations and products I used when testing out this compressor and air gun. Mehron Mixing Medium MAC Studio Radiance Sheer Foundation (Waterbased) MAC Face and Body in white (Waterbased) MAC Prolongwear Concealer (Silicone Based) MAC Studio Radiance Sheer Foundation is a waterproof foundation made for the face and body. I would say the consistency is like melted ice cream. So, I did purchase the Belloccio compressor and air gun kit, as it was on sale, and it did not have enough psi or power to push my MAC Studio Radiance Foundation out of the gun... The Neo Air had no issues pushing the MAC Studio Radiance Foundation out of the gun. I was impressed, it was such a difference. I would also say that using the compressor on high is way too much pressure for someones face, especially if you pull the gun trigger all the way back. The airgun has a dual action trigger. So, you press down to engage the air, pulling all the way back increases flow and coverage, you can move the trigger forward and back depending on how much product you want to apply to the skin. I added in a pump of my Prolongwear Concealer to my Studio Radiance in the well, which is a silicone based concealer, and had no issues with the gun clogging, I still used the compressor on medium, with medium pressure on the trigger. I didn't need to thin out the viscosity of any of my products for the Neo Air to work with my products. I feel I could use about any foundation and concealer combo I want, as long as I keep the product consistency relatively viscous. If you're a MUA looking to invest in an a good quality airbrushing compressor and gun, this little fella is perfect. We travel a lot, and set up space is limited, we don't want to lug around a heavy compressor that takes up our limited working space, the Neo Air is about the size of a medium pack of makeup wipes, and is super light and relatively quite. If you're looking for a great foundation for Bridal Makeup or just in general, that you can use traditionally and with airbrushing. I really recommend the MAC Studio Radiance Sheer Foundation or Dior Backstage Face and Body for their versatile color range and they're foundations that you can use traditionally or with airbrushing. Please NOT buy Kett, Temptu or any "airbrushed foundation system" they're garbage.

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed! This kit has exceeded all of my expectations. The first thing that struck me about this kit is its quality. The airbrush itself is beautifully designed, with a comfortable grip and excellent balance. It feels solid in my hand. The gravity-feed cup is also very easy to clean, which is a major plus. The airbrush sprays flawlessly, delivering smooth and consistent lines every time. The control I have over the paint flow is exceptional, allowing me to achieve the exact effect I want. I've used this kit for a variety of applications, from painting models to customizing t-shirts, and it has never let me down. Overall, I would highly recommend this kit to anyone in the market for an airbrush. It's an excellent value for the price and provides awesome results.

Good combo kit for quick on the spot use. The brush has a decent spray and took a few trials to find what consistency it likes. Clean up is quick and the brush breaks down and reassembles just as fast. It may not be a “true” Iwata but it sure shows Iwata quality especially for the price. Now the minor issues. The compressor shuts down after about ten minutes of use. It’s good to prolong the life of the unit but was not expected. The brush holder broke off before I was able to use it but I would not have used it anyways. I would recommend this to any beginner or even a a experienced painter that wants a brush to travel with or for light detail work.

At the price point, this a good kit to start out with. You’re not getting true Iwatta quality since this is actually a CN airbrush with Iwatta’s name on it. This is not a brush for fine detail and it becomes very apparent if attempted but can do simple things that a beginner would be doing anyway. As you progress, you’ll want to upgrade. Now for the air compressor. Keeping in mind this whole kit costs less than a good airbrush compressor, I would recommend it for a total beginner depending on application. If you need to spray for over 10 minutes or very frequently, the compressor will shut off on you. The 3 modes may not have enough pressure to spray thicker paints like Createx so you will need to thin them down quite a bit. It also “bogs down” when painting, making thicker paints even harder to spray. It’s not exactly quiet but not overly loud and it runs constantly as there’s no holding tank. With that being said, I would recommend for a total beginner on a budget. If you have the funds to do so, I would go with a better airbrush and compressor.

I was once told by a pro to not cheap out when it comes to a beginner air brush. You want one that's going to be durable, and easy to use. The cheap brushes work fine, but they're not as user friendly (less control, clog easy, etc). It takes skill to get them to work right. Skills you learn by buying a quality air brush to begin with. This strikes a good balance between quality, and cost for beginners.

A great starter airbrush. You definitely get what you pay for. It is quiet, does not take up much room, and super quick and easy to clean. The dual action trigger is fantastic. Not to mention being able to change the psi with a single press of a button. And it comes with a pamphlet that gives you links to tutorial videos.

Great little product for beginners. The instructions were minimal but clear, and I was able to start airbrushing models with no trouble at all.

I highly recommend this airbrush. I know prices for airbrushes are all over the place. It is easy to use and I highly recommend getting “high flow” paints. You do not have to thin and they do not have ingredients that will clog. However, you must throughly clean it after every use. Paint will dry and cause clogs if you let paint dry. Rubbing alcohol wipes make it super easy to clean up.

Easy to use for the beginner. Easy to clean.

Works better than I expected.
