'possibly made perfect' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs sometimes mean the same thing.

'show on book in a hurry' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'air' (both can mean broadcast).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'in a hurry' becomes 'rushed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'air'+'b'+'rushed'='AIRBRUSHED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for airbrushed that I've seen is " Sprayed with paint".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
