Βεβαίως και δεν μεταφράζεται, αλλά για να απαντήσω στο ερώτημα σου περί του τι σημαίνει, know that trademarks generally are or should never be self-evident as to the nature of the product because then they would be considered "descriptive" (of the product) and thus can not be protected. So, the term might be suggestive of "shadow as light as air" (or whatever else the marketing team thought when they created it) but it doesn't mean anything specific - it's a brand name.
Oh, and on a side note, they are using it wrong - you might want to let your client know that. (Using a trademark as a noun sets it up for genericide and is a big no-no. Trademarks should never be used as nouns). It should be airshadow(tm) XXX (whatever the product is, e.g. foundation).

You probably should ask them what it is as the correct translation would be something along the lines of: ...πάνω από την βάση ή την πούδρα (π.χ.) airshadow(tm)...

Ένα ανάλαφρο ψέκασμα οπαλιόχρωμης απόχρωσης πάνω από το χρώμα βάσης σας ή μακιγιάζ με αερογράφο είναι βέβαιο ότι θα κάνουν πολλά κεφάλια να γυρίσουν προς το μέρος σας.
Τι λέτε;;; Εχω χάσει κεφάλαια στα νέα συστήμαστα μακιγιάζ...
