Dina Ousley

Dina Ousley is an American businesswoman, makeup artist, and former actress. Ousley developed tools and techniques for airbrush makeup, helping to refine and popularize this method of applying makeup.

Actress

Ousley appeared in the 1975-season CBS TV series Bronk, playing star Jack Palance's crippled daughter Ellen Bronkov.[1] She had a small part in the highly successful 1975 film Shampoo[2] and later appeared in Trip With The Teacher, American Hot Wax, The Boss' Son, and Nights in White Satin.

Airbrush makeup

Ousley then turned to makeup work, created a makeup airbrush,[3] and developed a system of water-based spray-on makeup for use in the fashion and entertainment industries. The spray makeup tools and techniques she developed include "...the use of a small airbrush, liquid cosmetics and stencils to create everything from a professional woman's daily makeup to something a little flashier - think leopard print hair and fantasy makeup that includes sparkles."[4] Ousley airbrushed "lingerie" on Playboy models for Hugh Hefner's 1999 New Year's Eve party and spray-painted the go-go girls in the Austin Powers movies.[3]

Ousley is a principal and partner in Dinair, a Hollywood-based company that retails the spray makeup machines and supplies to users.
