“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.

I've owned both the original Luminess airbrush system and the Breeze system. Both can give you full coverage and all day wear. I recently tried LaMakiage liquid foundation (applied with a brush) to Luminess (airbrush) to compare.

LaMakiage color matching is spot on, I have never been able to find the right shade from a online questionnaire the first time if ever! Luminess shades are on the orange side and typically you have to mix shades to get a good match to your skintone, this can take some doing and a while to get it right.

LaMakiage coverage is light but covers blemishes and dark spots very well. It also doesn't have that cakey feeling at all. Great for aging skin.
Luminess has buildable coverage and does cover but still appears and feels a bit cakey. Possibly due to the orange tones. It doesn't do as well as advertised for aging skin.

LaMakiage sells for about $50 which is a good month to two supply. Luminess systems cost about $300 and the monthly make-up vials can range from $25-$55 each (keep in mind that the concealer, "Glow" and others are in addition to the foundation vials.)

It takes only seconds to apply LaMakiage where the Luminess (depending on how many layers you use) takes about 10 minutes to get one completed application. Plus you then have to clean the unit.

LaMakiage has all day wear, but as for the true evidence - when you take off your make-up at the end of the day Luminess is the winner in this area... and the make up remover cloth is evidence to that!
Being a Texas resident - I like to have the Luminess system at my disposal if I know I'll be out all day in humid weather and want to really have a more make up look.
But I have to say that LaMakiage is my favorite. The way it feels, price and color matching is definitely a winner!
Both give you a trial period. Luminess give you a 30 day trial for $19.95 and once you have the unit the customer service is pretty good. If you request a return the customer service is less than great but is still ok. You pay to return the product.
LaMakiage gives you 30 days to try their full bottle of foundation and pays for return if you do not like it. Great customer service all the way around.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure to start the return process before the 30 days end. It takes a little bit for the responses.

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.
