“Great Product!”

Timely delivery. This air brush foundation is exactly what was described. It hides imperfections, even on my 48 year old face. I added a second layer after the first one dried for the perfect coverage.

“Slow delivery, poor follow up”

Delivery took a long time. When I finally did receive it the tracking info didn't match and I never received any follow up info on how to go about the trial. I had to reach out to customer service myself for help on next steps.

Overall, the experience of try-before-you-buy was very easy. Unfortunately, the foundation itself didn't work for me. Honestly, I don't necessarily think it's the product itself, but really my face just hates every single foundation I use. I will say that Luminess at least made my skin look flawless for about 3 hours, then the oils in my t-zone separated it and it looked so cakey. But the normal parts of my face held onto it well.
When I went to request a return, customer service was amazing. They offered to let me talk to a specialist for alternate tips to help with my skincare. I had initially been charged for the product, but once they realized the mistake, they refunded it immediately without issues.
I think it's definitely worth a try!

Like I explained in my initial review, I requested to cancel my subscription, and the CSR was super nice and helpful, and it was taken care of with ease. I wish all CSR’s everywhere had the same customer service!

Foundation color was off and just overall unflattering look. After using using a small amount face felt cakey and clumpy. And this product makes a huge mess in your bathroom. Not very easy to use. Also my brush came broken.

Before buying make sure you know your color. It's also advertised as an air brush makeup but really you just spray it on the brush. Didn't give me the results I hoped for. Did not know how to contact company.

Reason I chose this business:

I have tried this foundation for about a week. I fail to get a smooth, even application. This goes on spotty, uneven and ends up very cakey. I'm sure it's more my older skin but, was hoping this would be my "IT" foundation. Customer service was excellent and I do love the face palette that came with this kit. Thank you for letting me try this product.

Custom service was very polite, helpful and indeed we agreed on a solution for my return.

I love this product, I think this is the best make-up I ever had. It's perfect and it does stay on for the whole day. Doesn't look cakey and no streaking. My skin has uneven texture due to acne scarring, luminess helps with that. It blurs the problem areas with a matte finish. My skin is also oily, I carry blotting sheets with me, the foundation doesn't transfer as much like other foundations I've used in the past. Over all, luminess is the best! Thank you so much!

Helpful and nice! Excellent customer service!!

Billing address is different, and it took me awhile to figure out how to change it. You need to make that more clear to shopper.

They called me and took care of errors with my order; plus, inquired about form. Ii changed my review to five stars because of the promptness in which they called me. I was very impressed. I hope I like this makeup, because I feel I'll get a lot of support getting color right, etc.

It's not for me.the consistency is either too heavy or too little. The base doesn't make a difference in the longevity as does the sealer. The spray goes all over my vanity. I'll keep giving it a chance to see if I like it anymore but as of now. I won't reorder.

Hey Roberta, We have recently tried to contact you and were unable to reach you. I’m truly sorry to hear that your conversation didn’t lead to a satisfactory solution. I understand how challenging it can be to find a product that works well, especially when dealing with arthritis. I appreciate your suggestion about using a sponge and applying the product in dabs—it’s thoughtful of you to consider how this might help others in a similar situation. Your feedback is valuable, and I want to assure you that we are always looking for ways to improve our products and customer support. For further assistance, please contact us back at 800-209-2718 and we would be happy to get you taken care of! ❤️

Ordered trial skin makeup, but had another product added that I did not order. Not sure how this happened. Could have been a mistake on my part when you finalize your order. But Luminess Company was very gracious in removing charge for this order. Great customer service. And so far very happy with my trial makeup order. Will order again in future

They removed a charge for an item I did not order, did not require item to be sent back. Very great customer service. Very satisfied with service

The makeup itself is awesome. Full coverage for sure. I feel like a lot of product is wasted though by spraying it on the brush and it goes all over the sink and your hand. But I like how light it feels on my face. I have not tried the spray on makeup remover yet or the setting powder. Shipping was about 2 weeks later than planned and the tracking was not very good.

Emailed to see the status of my order when it was already late. Person said don't worry it'll be there in 2 days...it wasn't. And the tracking on my end never got updated so it showed stuck in Ohio for nearly 2 weeks.

I could not be more in love with Luminess! I did a test swipe on one side of my face as soon as I got it and it was instant love. The product is so lightweight, give flawless yet natural coverage and the smallest bit goes a long way! I can have my full face done in under a minute and it looks like I had it professionally done! Best, best, BEST foundation I've ever used. Hands down.

My experience over all has been good.
The product has made my face break out. I'm unsure of why. So i decided to wait until this break out cleared up and try again. I think one of my other cleaning proficiency may have something to do with the breakout. We shall see

I absolutely love this lightweight yet great coverage foundation. The color I wanted was out of stock so I decided to mix two colors and it's perfect. Really lovely product. I'm a middle aged woman that's starting to get fine lines and wrinkles. This blurs it all nicely. I've looked for a foundation to love for many years because I hate the heavy feeling of most. I hope this stays around for a long time. Thank you

The luminous feels good on your face, but for me it wont-work. My skin is a little dry and it still leaves me with makeup embedded in my fine lines. I'm sure this product would be good for someone else. I'm glad I tried it.

The primer, foundation, and setting spray were received very quickly and I was excited to try them out. However, the foundation was a little too orangey for my skin and it rubs off very easily. Also, it doesn't seem to work well over top of my under eye makeup & concealer - which is super disappointing because it doesn't give me enough coverage to not wear under eye makeup and concealer. I will be sending it back.

The ordering was a bit confusing. I'm excited to try it but so far the color shade I selected is not right. I also don't remember being aware that I ordered several other products along with the spray foundation and that I have a balance due? Somehow, I missed all of that. Anyway, if I can get the shade right hopefully, I will be able to upgrade my experience. Thank you!

I called once and got as far as a person who was going to assist me with the shade selection but then was disconnected. I tried again last evening and got as far as the person telling me that she would email me so I could send her pictures but as of today I still don't have that email.

Reason I chose this business:

I believe tv. I actually was able to try it later on through my sister who purchased it and she let me try hers. Unfortunately, she got the wrong shade as well but never bothered to get the correct one.

So after using this product for a week, there are a lot of steps we weren't told about, the coverage is ok and the color is orange. I believe that bottle won't last long and would be expensive to constantly replace.

I did the try before you bought it, and it charged my card a large amount of money, over $100, and a separate charge for just the shipment. There were no instructions on how to return it if you don't like it, It is awful and dries my face out so bad that I look scaly and flaky. It looks nothing like my face color even after the color match.

I tried the product and it did not work as advertised. I tried to return via online and calling with no luck. Finally got through to be told return was expired and was only offered $50 refund. This is frustrating and will not ever use product or by from this company again. Regards, Laurie Wheatley

Well when I finally got through to someone I was only given an option of a partial refund because after failing to getting through I was unable to return because of expiration by two days. Beyond frustrated and disappointed

My ordered was placed on October 30. I kept checking my order and I could not open up the tracking even when I put the tracking # in the section. I've never had a problem with any of my mail orders until now. I'm not sure if I will place anymore orders with you.

That went okay.

From the business

Our mission began over 25 years ago to provide beauty solutions to the everyday woman without compromising on quality. LUMINESS was created as a professional Airbrush Cosmetics line that was designed to be easy-to-use for the at home consumer to deliver a finish not achievable with traditional liquid or powder foundations. With over 5 million Airbrush Makeup Kits sold, LUMINESS is the #1 Global Leader in Airbrush Systems and Air Delivered Beauty. Our award winning BREEZE Airbrush System is the first all-in-one device that delivers makeup, haircare, skincare and tanning. With BREEZE, LUMINESS has revolutionized the concept of Air Delivered Beauty as all-in-one beauty tool combining the easiest application of makeup for a flawless skin finish. With its interchangeable stylus attachments BREEZE delivers the added benefit of covering up gray roots and filling in the hairline with its Hair Stylus head attachment and delivering water-based skincare formulas directly onto the skin with its Skincare Stylus Head. With a micro-needling and tanning stylus head available, the possibilities are truly endless with the NEW LUMINESS BREEZE.

LUMINESS and its range of Airbrush Cosmetics, Airbrush Skincare, Airbrush Haircare, and Airbrush Tanning formulas are all made in the USA, are cruelty-free and are never tested on animals. We are continuously researching and redeveloping formulas and our latest SILK 4-in-1 Airbrush Foundation is completely CLEAN. Our Airbrush Skincare formulas including Vitamin C 15%, Niacinamide 10%, Retinol 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2%, AHA 11%, and Vitamin B-5 are clean, cruelty free, vegan formulas that featured clinically proven and concentrated ingredients.

Business History

Nearly 25 years ago, innovator, artist, and entrepreneur Sean Mehta had a thriving fashion and garment business as one of the largest importers of beaded gowns in the United States. During photoshoots for each fashion collection, he noticed something.

The makeup artist ALWAYS used an airbrush machine on the fashion models. He would ask each makeup artist, why are you using airbrush, and the response was always the same – It’s the best way to give you the flawless look and the only one that can last the whole photoshoot. So he thought to himself – if airbrushing is the best way to give women flawless, long-lasting and beautiful coverage – WHY doesn’t every woman in the country have one?

The answer was clear – traditional airbrushing was messy, loud, large, and relatively expensive – basically, it wasn’t friendly for the everyday woman and the majority of beauty companies were focused on traditional cosmetics. Determined, Sean worked on prototype after prototype – making an airbrush system that was smaller, more portable, easier to use, more precise until finally – LUMINESS was born. Rooted in the desire to create something innovative, LUMINESS filled a need for professional quality results in an easy-to-use at-home solution.

Now that he had a product, he needed to determine how to get it into the hands of every woman in the US. After considering many different channels, he decided right in the beginning that in order to become successful he needed to maintain a close connection to the women using the product. After all, it was this close connection to the makeup artist that allowed him to see how breakthrough a device like this could be if it was to be made available for in-home use.
