“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.

Coverage, but hate the residue it leaves on my counters. The coverage was great and I love the primer! Make sure to shake well or it will come out green.

We do our best to make our products as efficient as possible, but proper technique is definitely key to really avoid that overspray! So, with practice and proper technique, you can most certainly have all the spray land on the brush! We might exaggerate a bit the spray part on our ads for demonstration purposes! 😉 You can view how our Beauty experts apply and tips on applying here at this link, and even ask questions live to really focus in on the questions you have: https://www.facebook.com/groups/luminesslive

The industry needs to realize people are mixed different races so our color and tone of our skin is different. I am mix Native American; Africa American and Caucasian. We are not all the same!

Could not find color match

I was not a fan of the shade, it's too greasy, and the transfer onto clothing is awful. I sent an email trying to get a return because I did the try before you buy and I've still not had anyone respond. I'll be calling customer service.

I had no issues with my first order. The only hard part I had was picking out my shade as I'm typically in between two shades, but I'm happy with what I received and will order again.

I received my order and it is too orange. I called to cancel but she said I could try another color. She transferred me and all I did was sit and wait for someone to answer, which never happened. Not too happy about that part.

I called because I wanted to return my kit and get another color. The color did not match and I wanted a different one. I knew it was just one color lighter but customer service said I needed to speak to a beauty specialist. I was on hold forever and hung up.

I like the product. I'm just uncertain about the color match. It seems like it's close just not right on or I'm doing something wrong. Just be sure of your of your color. I love the way it goes on with the brush. It's easy application. I set mine with a powder which I recommend. It looks flawless once you get the hang of it and perfect what works for you.

I absolutely appreciate the customer service that I received when I called the customer service number to inquire about why they automatically charged me for a product that said "No charge, Try for FREE" and they charged my account before I even received the product. The agent I spoke with was very kind, professional, and refunded my money asap. Bonus was that I got to keep the product due to it being the type of product it is.

The gentleman I spoke with (can't remember his name) about why they (Luminess) had already charged my account when the ad said "no charge" unless you like the product and decided to keep it, was very kind, professional, and refunded my money right then during the phone call. If I could afford the prices, I would like to purchase more products from this company. However, I do sweat a lot with my job, and I have yet to find a foundation that doesn't come off when I sweat and wipe my face clean.

Reason I chose this business:

I kept seeing ads for the aerosol foundation and primer on social media platforms such as Facebook, X (aka Twitter), and even on TikTok. Therefore, I decided to try the product because they offered a FREE try with no obligation to purchase and I only had to pay if I decided that I wanted to keep the product.

I don't think the color was the right color match for me. I'll go ahead and keep the product instead of going through the hassle of returning it. But not sure I would ever order again.

We are well aware that when ordering cosmetics online, you can never be 100% sure until you try it on if it's for you, big part of why we offer it on a Try Before You Buy basis in the first place! But to take that a step further, we also include a 100% Color Match Guarantee to make sure you can try something else out without having to do a whole return and reorder process!😉

The customer service was excellent, and the representatives were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and helpful. The product is lightweight and sheer to the touch, so it feels like you have nothing on your face. It provides a glowing appearance while covering uneven tones on the face.

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.
