If you're getting water come through the airline you need to make sure the compressor tank is empty, if you've got water in the tank from it not being drained no moisture trap is going to be able to stop it all.

There should be a drain valve at the base of the tank to let water out, better to do it when there is some pressure in the tank because it will blow any water out.

After that put the compressor on again, let it fill up, turn off and do the same with the moisture trap until no more water is being released from that, there should just be a small spring loaded valve underneath the water trap. It should take long to clear through. ( if you don't have the valve you might be able to unscrew the moisture trap ( don't have any pressure in the tank when you do this ) and literally dry the moisture filter out or replace it ? ).

Then with what air is left just hold the airbrush on with the trigger back and see if any more has collected in your air line.

You should be good to go then.
