“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.

I tried the product and it did not work as advertised. I tried to return via online and calling with no luck. Finally got through to be told return was expired and was only offered $50 refund. This is frustrating and will not ever use product or by from this company again. Regards, Laurie Wheatley

Overall, the experience of try-before-you-buy was very easy. Unfortunately, the foundation itself didn't work for me. Honestly, I don't necessarily think it's the product itself, but really my face just hates every single foundation I use. I will say that Luminess at least made my skin look flawless for about 3 hours, then the oils in my t-zone separated it and it looked so cakey. But the normal parts of my face held onto it well.
When I went to request a return, customer service was amazing. They offered to let me talk to a specialist for alternate tips to help with my skincare. I had initially been charged for the product, but once they realized the mistake, they refunded it immediately without issues.
I think it's definitely worth a try!

Like I explained in my initial review, I requested to cancel my subscription, and the CSR was super nice and helpful, and it was taken care of with ease. I wish all CSR’s everywhere had the same customer service!

Before buying make sure you know your color. It's also advertised as an air brush makeup but really you just spray it on the brush. Didn't give me the results I hoped for. Did not know how to contact company.

Reason I chose this business:

Facebook and Instagram

I have tried this foundation for about a week. I fail to get a smooth, even application. This goes on spotty, uneven and ends up very cakey. I'm sure it's more my older skin but, was hoping this would be my "IT" foundation. Customer service was excellent and I do love the face palette that came with this kit. Thank you for letting me try this product.

Custom service was very polite, helpful and indeed we agreed on a solution for my return.

I love this product, I think this is the best make-up I ever had. It's perfect and it does stay on for the whole day. Doesn't look cakey and no streaking. My skin has uneven texture due to acne scarring, luminess helps with that. It blurs the problem areas with a matte finish. My skin is also oily, I carry blotting sheets with me, the foundation doesn't transfer as much like other foundations I've used in the past. Over all, luminess is the best! Thank you so much!

Helpful and nice! Excellent customer service!!

It's not for me.the consistency is either too heavy or too little. The base doesn't make a difference in the longevity as does the sealer. The spray goes all over my vanity. I'll keep giving it a chance to see if I like it anymore but as of now. I won't reorder.

Hey Roberta, We have recently tried to contact you and were unable to reach you. I’m truly sorry to hear that your conversation didn’t lead to a satisfactory solution. I understand how challenging it can be to find a product that works well, especially when dealing with arthritis. I appreciate your suggestion about using a sponge and applying the product in dabs—it’s thoughtful of you to consider how this might help others in a similar situation. Your feedback is valuable, and I want to assure you that we are always looking for ways to improve our products and customer support. For further assistance, please contact us back at 800-209-2718 and we would be happy to get you taken care of! ❤️

I am excited I am using eyeliner and eyeshadow for the first time in a very long time. However, suddenly my lips are dry chapped and hurting and ai can't wear my lipstick from Luminess. Trying to figure out if they changed something or if my body is just crazy!

I have been using this product for a week now. The color match was spot on. My skin has a nice glow. I am experiencing a little break out but hopefully once I get adjusted to this new product it will go away.

My experience over all has been good.
The product has made my face break out. I'm unsure of why. So i decided to wait until this break out cleared up and try again. I think one of my other cleaning proficiency may have something to do with the breakout. We shall see

Hey Feliciana, It was a pleasure speaking with you regarding the review you left with us. I’m glad to hear your overall experience has been good, but I’m sorry to hear about the breakout! I understand how disappointing that must have been. It’s good to wait until your skin clears up before trying the product again. Sometimes other skincare products can play a role too. For further assistance, please contact us back at 800-209-2718 and we would be happy to get you taken care of!❤️

I absolutely love this lightweight yet great coverage foundation. The color I wanted was out of stock so I decided to mix two colors and it's perfect. Really lovely product. I'm a middle aged woman that's starting to get fine lines and wrinkles. This blurs it all nicely. I've looked for a foundation to love for many years because I hate the heavy feeling of most. I hope this stays around for a long time. Thank you

The luminous feels good on your face, but for me it wont-work. My skin is a little dry and it still leaves me with makeup embedded in my fine lines. I'm sure this product would be good for someone else. I'm glad I tried it.

So after using this product for a week, there are a lot of steps we weren't told about, the coverage is ok and the color is orange. I believe that bottle won't last long and would be expensive to constantly replace.

I received the products as advertised and promptly. Although the color is not exactly right it is still very nice. It's a little too light! I probably needed the next color but don't want to go to the trouble of sending this one back.

From the time I ordered to delivery took about 3 weeks so it already makes me question ordering in the future because since these bottle aren't see through I won't know that I need to order that far ahead of time so would have to go without unless I keep stock. Shipping times need improvement considering this companies been around for a long time

They assured me my order would be processed correctly

I was looking for that flawless face that you see when you're purchasing the item however, that was not the case. Also, the color was not good. Makes my face look yellow. I hope to send it back with no issues, but I'm sure it will be a hassle As most are.

Reason I chose this business:

I love Luminess. I recently moved to a tropical climate and an out of my Luminess after some delay I had the product delivered to my daughter in The States and she mailed it to me. I must say this product was flawless even in the humidity and heat. I love the primer, foundation and finishing spray. I ordered extra of the product so I don't ever run low again while I'm away from home. I use the can airbrush spray products and they are worth every penny. Thank you Luminess.

Reason I chose this business:

I heard about this product two years ago and have been using it ever since.

I've used this product before but didn't keep my old bottles so I don't believe I ordered the right one. I sweat and it starts to separate on my face and doesn't stay on. Disappointed. I need to see which one works better for sweaty days.

I was very interested in this make up due to the fact that I have some dark scars on my face and I thought finally something will cover it. I want to start off by saying I ordered the wrong color however even trying that it did not blend well nor did it cover my scars. I'm really dissatisfied.

I like the color but wished I would've gone one shade darker. I'm afraid that the can that they sent me is a little clogged. I've tried to rinse it under the drain as well. It's not a very big can, but I just got it last week and I feel like it's going to go soon. Maybe just a bad batch.

I initially chose a color that was 2 shades to dark for me. Luminess CS was amazing and quickly resent me a new shade and it's a perfect match. I used the brush that came with the set and it really does leave an airbrush finish. I suggest everyone try.

Agent was very kind and helpful.

I have used it twice. Goes on very smooth. Good coverage. Not cakey. It doesn't seem to last all day, which is what I was looking for, but I'm going to try it a few more days to give it a fair chance.

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.
