Supermodel bronzer and professional body makeup artist Katie Quinn has released her second tutorial eBook, educating makeup artists, salons, tanning agencies, spas, fitness enthusiasts, and other players in the cosmetic industry on how to utilize body contouring in their sunless spray tan applications.
Quinn, who also serves as co-founder and CEO of Southern California-based Kona Tanning Company, today released Contouring for Airbrush Spray Tanning: The Everyday Female Edition, the first in a series of contouring expertise manuals designed to teach the delicate art of airbrush contouring, as well as guidance on the best products and equipment to use in the application.
In the salon, “airbrush abs” is a huge request from nearly every client, and while it’s exciting to share in the passion of sunless beauty it can present a problem for the artist, who needs to become more familiar with stylized, cutting-edge anatomy. With Contouring for Airbrush Spray Tanning, Quinn clearly teaches in step-by-step language the correct muscle names, muscle flow, posing of the clients to isolate existing natural definition, and the precise locations of where to apply shadows and outlines for the most realistic results.
