You don't have to blow alot of cash to get a decent airbrush. My airbrushes are pretty expensive because I use them for custom paint and cars etc. Up around $250 for an airbrush...But for something like mask painting, you can go lower on the scale and still get enough quality in the brush to accomplish what you need.First thing is to get a dual action airbrush. Press the trigger for air, pull it back for paint.. Next look for a bottom feed(or syphon feed) brush. They are more for textile paints, you see T-Shirt painters using them all the time. Look for an airbrush with a medium to large needle to be able to spray the latex.. If I were buying a new brush just for latex, it'd be .35mm or maybe a .50mmHere are a few on eBay, not a top of the line namebrand but I have owned brushes from these guys and they are great for the price..Here is a topfeed, they work great but for a mask you might have to refill it alot of times. No big deal though..<a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.ca/DUAL-ACTION-AIRBRUSH-AIR-BRUSH-KIT-5A-0-5mm-W-10-HOSE_W0QQitemZ320214826476QQihZ011QQcategoryZ28111QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZVewItem\" target=\"_blank\">Top Feed .50mm</a><a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.ca/Pro-DUAL-DOUBLE-ACTION-Air-Brush-Airbrush-Kit-extras_W0QQitemZ260209693941QQihZ016QQcategoryZ43987QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdViewItem\" target=\"_blank\">Bottom Feed .35mm</a>
