“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.

“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.

Waited a little while for it. I try the product and found it too light.

I sent a email.

Reason I chose this business:

Through email. I thought I would try it.

Hi Jeanette! All airbrush trials come with a one time color match guarantee! So if those shades dont work out for you - we will be more than happy to send out a color match that fits you best! 🥰

Shopping for a color was ok. The color I received was to dark (fault of my own).

When I got the product the color was to dark (fault of my own), but the process of trying to speak to someone to return the item was pain in the butt. I called for 2 days straight and wait 6-7 hours each time for a call back. I was told they will send me a new color to try for 14-days (my card was charged again for shipping), but looking at my account there is no order placed other than the original order I placed the 1st time.

All four of my nieces turned me on to this company and so far I impressed but I will know a little more once I have tried everything but as far as shopping for this yes I'm impressed.

Reason I chose this business:

My four nieces uses this product and I will say they really looks great each time they either go to work and out on the town.

I never received my free trial of the new Luminess product. I have had the older products for several years, and still use them.

Reason I chose this business:

Many years ago, when I purchased my first products from Luminess

I'm not a person to wear makeup, unfortunately the shade was too creamy thick for me. I want more of a natural look.

I had a question about a product and used the really convenient chat. I got immediate feedback and excellent customer service. Im trying to 45 day trial for foundation with a brush because I can't stand the feel of it on my face. I've listened to several reviews on YouTube and they're all positive. I'm really looking forward to trying it.

Reason I chose this business:

YouTube ad.

The color is not right for my skin tone - I will need a different color palette as I everything changes to yellow/orangey color on my skin, but I love the airbrush.

Foundation settles in fine lines and creases. Coverage is ok but does not last more than a few hours and easily transfers.

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.
