“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.

I ordered and received the wrong color. Spoke with a specialist who reordered for me and told me to keep the one that was incorrect. The next order i received was a perfect match. I've worn it twice. I've tried to wear a third time, however, there is now black stuff coming out when i spray. I make sure to shake well before each usage. Not sure why the black stuff was coming out my guess was the aerosol. But, now, my makeup is not wearable bc of this blackness oozing out.

it was great

It's a wonderful airbrush foundation to add to my other foundations. It will last me a very, very long time so I just want a one time purchase only and I notified luminous customer service thank you.

customer service was great. I sent them an email saying that the product was wonderful but I only wanted a one time use charge whatever it is after the warranty but I do not want to renew it. Thank you.

I ordered the trial package, but the foundation and concealer were too light in color! In placing my trial order other products popped up, for interest. I thought I could check them for future orders, but I was charged for them. I like the primer, sealant, and the eraser. When I can get the correct color for my foundation, then I will order again. Perhaps if a color palette could be sent with the trial order, it would be easier to get the right color. The pictures don't do enough for women of color. I liked the feel of the foundation. I would also like the item that sprays the foundation, then use the brush to smooth it evenly!

I ordered the trial package, and other items popped up. I checked the ones I thought would be reserved if the trial package was satisfactory, but instead I was charged for all the other products that were sent. I thought these items would go in my cart until I made a decision. The foundation and concealer are too light. Before I order again I would need another color.

The person who answered my question said they would give me a percentage off if I decided to keep the products.

Reason I chose this business:

An ad on my phone kept coming up.

I found that the tiniest foundation bottles that were the more expensive bigger bottles were not worth the money. Ive had my foundation for a week and it is half gone. The cordless breeze is not a breeze. Its hard to work and uses more foundation then it should. I will be sending this product back

To me, the color matching is a little off. I went very very closely with my matching and the foundation was way to light, almost a while.

Did another color match questionnaire and i changed it a little to try a darker shade, however I can't afford it right now. My CSR was great

Unable to contact no one for a week, unable to return my package, they told me 14 days then they told that 30 day, they I ended up with a clor that didn't not match me and with $98 withdrawal bill. I didn't receive any refund. I really disappointed.

Looks like she was only focus on the sales and not on the customer satisfaction.

The product arrived in a timely manner and I was excited to receive My only disappointment is that the instructions were a bit vague for some was who hasn't worn make-up in a while. The coverage is good and I love the brushes, just not sure which end is for application and which is for blending. Guess I'll figure it out

I am not happy with the samples received. The product does not have the quality that I would expect for such a costly product. I am further disappointed that my request to not send me the sample was not accepted. I literally clicked to cancel within seconds and no one respected my wishes. This is dishonest and I am very upset. Please issue me with a return label so that I can return the sample.

My request to return the sample within seconds of me clicking cancel was not honored. Customer service made no effort to rectify the situation and still sent me an unwanted product.

While it took a couple weeks for my LUMINESS products to arrive, they are worth it. Easy to apply, great lightweight coverage, and a flawless finish. I'm in my 50s and hate heavy, thick foundation. LUMINESS feels like a tinted moisturizer but covers like full foundation. I will definitely purchase again and try their other products in the future.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

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.
