“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.

Like how it goes on and how it lasts all day! Maybe not the same amazing difference you see in the models, but it definitely looks better than my previous foundation. Still learning how to apply.

They did send the correct shade(s) for brown African American skin tone. I believe you that to be false advertisement and I more than likely will be returning the machine and products.

I do not like it it makes my skin look too dry it is not made for over 65 woman. I have called for 2 days trying to get an RA # and no one will return my call I try to wait for a operator to come on the line and the only response o get is someone will call me back in 24 jours and I have been waiting for 48 hours And no one will call me. I want to send back before my 3o days runs out I am doing what your web site says to do but I cant get anyone to talk to me to give me the return number so I can send it bAck.

Thank you Michelle!

Michelle was very helpful!

Reason I chose this business:

The shade is a little on the yellow side for my skin. Took the quiz and went with the color recommendation. I should have changed the color.

Reason I chose this business:

I did not try the product because the end price is way too much. I could not justify opening and using something that I could not afford. I will be creating a return

I really cannot give a fair assessment of customer service because I have been unable to get hold of anybody at this time. I will reserve my rating for later

Goes on blotchy but the biggest problem is IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CANCEL! They will keep charging your account over and over. The guys in India are very nice but now I shall wait and see if THIS TIME they actually canceled the membership!
There is no trial! You go right into reordering!

The product broke after a week. Then they tried to get me to pay over $100 to cancel my shipments of makeup. Makeup that is no good without the airbrush. DO NOT ORDER.

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.
