“Great Product!”

Jessica H.

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.

“Not my shade”

Amanda F.
9/11/24

The overall experience of luminess perfect shade, is nice. I am a black girl with golden undertones and this formula does not work completely for my skin tone. I have tried a variation of colors to match. The pros: lightweight formula, easy to blend. Cons: color choices are limited.

I like how the product feels going on my skin but it is not even close to full coverage so wouldn't be work the money for me. I will be returning my free trial.

I purchased this product for my wife as a present and when it arrived it was not what I expected. I never opened the product and returned it using the include RMA and paid a fee. The company never refunded me for the product. I disputed the charge with my credit card company. Luminess sent a letter restating that they were entitled to the charge even though it was returned to them. They lied! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Not 100% thrilled with the results but will struggle with another week or so before giving up. Had to order primer and a lighter foundation to see if that will yield better results.

I received my Luminess Air makeup system three days ago and it is as easy as it looked on TV! So far, it is a great make up tool... I'm just getting started!

Well the product itself is "nice" but the airbrush kept clogging up and God forbid it be warm out or you sweat because then it just melts off your face and is sloppy. Then they kept sending me the same 2 colors THAT I DID NOT ORDER. I called and cancelled and STILL THEY ARE CHARGING MY ACCOUNT and one of the months I didnt even get anything! Completely UNACCEPTABLE customer service. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Tip for consumers:
Dont order this Luminess product unless you WANT to waste your money EVERY MONTH. Sticky and Wont give you a refund even when you ask AND they dont cancel your account when you tell them!

Products used:
used the machine until it kept clogging up

I ordered lip colors and quality of each is awful. These were gifts for my mature daughters. Every one of the colors bleed, transfer to teeth and colors were gone within a couple of hours.

I will admit color matching was a little difficult with the options given. After applying could tell fairly quickly I needed medium instead of the light medium.

Reason I chose this business:

Saw it on the ads in Facebook.

So easy to use, I love how easy it's applied and the light feeling. However, it makes my face very shiny & oily. I am constantly having to dab at my makeup.

I haven't got to try it out as I have been sick. But I have been seeing quite a few reviews and a few ppl I know have the system and it looks flawless on them. I am sure I am going to love it as I have been wanting it for three yrs now and all I want to do is cover some of my freckles... LOL
THANKS

Product arrived quickly and the formula is amazing. It's very light and feels soft. I would reccommend to anyone who wants a fast application without all the heaviness of a foundation.

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.
