“Great Product!”

Jessica H.
10/1/24

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.

The colors I received are the wrong shades, I am disappointed that I can't use the system until I get the right color which is RICH. How do I get the right shade (rich)

Reason I chose this business:

It looked like a great product. It's not working to great right now

I do NOT wish to keep the make up, you can't even see it on my face. So cancel my order & do NOT TAKE ANYMORE MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!

It goes on smoothly and flawlessly. It does not appear as a foundation and it gives you a natural glow.

I tried it and so far it is ok. I will try it one more time before I send it back. I don't think your product is for me but it covers well.

The makeup itself is not bad. However, once you get sucked in, it's hard to get out. (1) The website could never find any of my current foundations to match (Urban Decay, Make Up For Ever, Nars). (2) The free gifts you get with your trial were "backordered" and were never sent. (3) There is a "club" that you will be automatically signed up for. No matter what you do, you can't avoid it. You will be billed every single month but may or may not actually receive the 2 bottles they bill you for. Plus, (at least for me) they WEREN'T EVEN THE COLORS I WAS USING! Even after MY CREDIT CARD EXPIRED, they found a way to continue billing my checking account. You will then email and call multiple times and multiple address/numbers to try to cancel only to be hit with a 20-minute salespitch. Be prepared for this. (4) If you do find a color and formula you like (I did), the bottles will arrive broken. They will then leak all over your other makeup. You will get maybe 2 or 3 uses out of the bottle. In summary, please learn from my mistake: JUST DON'T DO IT.

It took 3 weeks from the time I ordered the make up. Wrong color so I will need to exchange. Hopefully the exchange doesn't take as long.

This is my 1st time using a product like this. I will say it takes a bit of getting used to but so far I do like the potential

Reason I chose this business:

I like the idea of air brushing and not rubbing things into my face and pores.

Coverage is not what I thought it would be. On TV it shows covering sun spots immediately. Maybe with 3 or 4 applications. Not giving up on it yet.

Faster delivery time should be included. It takes too long to have it delivered once you order it a week should suffice not 2 weeks

My sprayer stopped spraying even though I clean it daily

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.
