Are they airbrush ready?

Yes, they go straight from the bottle into the airbrush. If you want cheap paint, then you're going to have to work to get them to work through the airbrush, if you want true airbrush ready paints, those don't come cheap.

Pearl is a paint, Iridescent is a high light ... it's micro glitter in a clear base used to accentuate a base color.

You have to thin these down like crazy, and even then sometimes (especially the white and yellows) the pigments are too large and will clog the airbrush. They're also not made for airbrush use, so you not only have to thin them, you usually have to add airbrush medium or some sort of retarder as most standard acrylics are by nature normally pretty fast drying.
Keep in mind that not all paints are made to be shot through the small nosecone of an airbrush with pressured air ... most cheap store brands are made to be used with brushes ... in order to make them work with an airbrush, you're going to need either airbrush medium and/or retarder to keep the paints from building and drying on the tip of the nosecone and the needle, so you're going to have to spend some money and time to figure out how that will best work with your airbrush, as opposed to having those products already premixed with any airbrush ready paint brand.
And even then, in my experience, not every "airbrush ready" paint brand it really "airbrush ready" ... some still have to be thinned down. That's why I invested in the Life Tones brand and made my own, because when I sit down to paint, I want to sit down and paint, not prep paint, after already having spent hours prepping a model, and then spending more time unclogging an airbrush then actually painting.
