Has anyone here ever tried the Iwata Custom Micron Series of airbrushes?

I currently use the Iwata HP-C Plus airbrush which Im currently happy with but i’ve been debating over whether to go out and buy one of the brushes from the Custom Micron Series but Im not that well-informed in regards to this line. I use both the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics brand of makeup (water-based when i want a more matte, natural finish) and the TEMPTU Pro brand (silicone-based when I want a more dewy and want a glow). Im buying a second brush for the reason of preventing clogs since both are of different bases and wasn’t sure if I should just buy another HP-C brush or go for a Custom Micron. Thanks.
Oh and Im sort of thinking of downgrading from the Iwata Power Jet Studio Compressor to a Smart Jet just for the portability aspect. any opinions?
LMAO. Lolo. You’re not gay enough to be in the makeup section. get out. PP

My brain just exploaded, I have no idea what you’re talking about lol

yeah uh..just stick with the iwata hp-c..idk lol
