SnS Design, a woman-owned industrial design consultancy located in New York City, was selected to design the Temptu Air, a portable compressor for the professional makeup industry. The Temptu Air is manufactured by Temptu, a New York City-based professional makeup company at the forefront of airbrush technology.

"Temptu has always been distinguished by our revolutionary, award-winning airbrush makeup," says Michael Benjamin, President and CEO of Temptu. "We partnered with SnS Design to take our airbrush equipment to the next level, to provide the most technologically advanced and user-friendly makeup air compressor on the market. Nisha helped create an innovative product in an industry flooded with tools that lack appeal and incorporate outdated technology."

    Nisha Sawhney, owner of SnS Design, created the Temptu Air compressor from the inside out, accommodating all internal components in a sleek, compact, minimalist design while reducing overall manufacturing costs.

    Sawhney designed the Temptu Air as a two-in-one tool that allows professional makeup artists the ability to take airbrush everywhere for desktop work at the salon or on-the-go backstage with unprecedented ease and convenience as a plug-in or battery operated system. The Temptu Air is compact, lightweight and powerful. With battery, the air compressor's
combined weight is under 1.7 lbs, unprecedented for the power and versatility. The Temptu Air features unparalleled PSI for a portable compressor. The maximum pressure is 30 PSI, allowing the makeup artist to have the flexibility to go from applying face makeup to light body makeup. It also has a long life rechargeable battery (90 minutes fully charged). A protective carrying case was designed for easy portability. The Temptu Air also has a built-in regulator, flex hose and convenient airbrush gun holder.

    Sawhney's versatile design allows for gun storage attached on the front or back of the unit, to minimize mess and makeup spillage.

    Airbrush makeup is a growing trend in the makeup industry and the Temptu Air, designed for everyday use, is easy to use for quick, natural makeup. The sleek and simple design makes it easy to clean. According to Sawhney, the Temptu Air not only looks smart and works smart, but professionals can also store it in their makeup bag or show it off with pride.
