Air Focus Brush

For a flawless airbrush finish, start by applying a few drops of your Minimalist Serum Foundation (or any other liquid, cream, or even powder foundation) to the back of your hand or directly to the central areas of your face (forehead, nose, cheeks, chin). Pick up the product with the Air Focus brush and apply it to your skin using small, rapid circular motions (buffing). This polishing technique perfectly blends pigments into the skin without leaving streaks or lines. Work in zones, gradually adding layers if necessary to achieve the desired coverage. The circular motion is essential: it creates that soft-focus effect characteristic of professional airbrushing.

Absolutely! The Air Focus brush is an incredibly versatile multifunction tool. Use it to apply and blend your bronzer in circular motions for a natural contour effect. For blush, lightly tap the brush on the cheekbones then blend in circles. For highlighter, the brush deposits and melts light onto the high points of the face. You can even use it to set your makeup with loose powder using light rolling motions. Some also use it to apply cream masks evenly. Its versatility makes it a cost-effective investment: a single brush for almost all your complexion needs. Clean it between each type of product to avoid color mixing.

Ideally, clean your Air Focus brush once a week if you use it daily, or after 5 to 7 uses. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the brush's performance, prevent bacterial buildup, and preserve the softness of the synthetic fibers. For a deep clean, wet the bristles with lukewarm water, place a dab of mild soap in your palm, then gently massage the bristles in circular motions. Rinse abundantly until the water runs totally clear. Gently squeeze to remove excess water, reshape the brush head, and let it dry flat on a towel or hanging upside down. Never dry it standing up in a pot: water would seep into the ferrule and damage the handle.

As with all quality brushes, slight shedding may occur during the first few uses, which is normal: these are loose fibers from manufacturing being eliminated. After this initial period, a well-maintained Air Focus brush should shed bristles very rarely. However, some users have reported more significant shedding after several months of intensive use. To minimize this issue, avoid rubbing the brush too vigorously during cleaning, never twist it, always dry it correctly, and never pull on the bristles. If you notice excessive shedding in clumps, contact Gressa customer service with your proof of purchase: they are renowned for their excellent customer service and might replace your brush. A brush of this quality should last several years with proper care.

The classic Air Focus measures 17.5 cm in length with a brush head of 3 cm in diameter, ideal for applying foundation to the entire face, bronzer, and large areas. The Mini Air Focus measures 11.5 cm with a 2 cm head, designed as a portable and multifunction version. The Mini is perfect for touch-ups on the go, targeted concealer application, blush, eyeshadow in the crease, and precise areas like the nose wings or around the mouth. If you had to choose only one, take the classic Air Focus for complete daily use. The Mini is an excellent complement for perfectionists or as a travel brush. Both use the same quality vegan synthetic fibers and offer the same airbrush blending performance.

Yes, perfectly! The Taklon Nylon synthetic fibers are hypoallergenic and are particularly suitable for sensitive, reactive, or allergy-prone skin. Unlike natural bristles which can contain allergenic animal proteins, synthetic fibers are inert and soft. For acne-prone skin, the Air Focus brush is ideal because it allows foundation application without direct finger contact with the skin, thus reducing bacterial transfer. Just make sure to clean your brush very regularly (twice a week minimum for acne-prone skin) to avoid any bacterial accumulation. The circular buffing technique is also gentler than tapping or dragging applications which can irritate active breakouts.
