“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 want this CANCELLED immediately! I just received my order this past Saturday 4/14/24, however, you have charged my card 4xs! You advertised that I would have a 14 day FREE trial period that would start AFTER I received the product. THAT IS A LIE! YOU CHARGED ME 3XS BEFORE I RECEIVED IT!

Try before you buy. Total of $159. Now have an account balance of over $300. The foundation makes my face feel sticky and is orangey doesn't cover wrinkles like it says plus they sold me "$10" starter kit that I don't even need!

I ordered Luminess and I am not a make-up type of girl. I was looking for something to cover/blend my melasma face but it was just too light for my melasma and I am fair complexion and did not want anything too dark. Anyway shipping was fast and when I called to return and explain my return reason, customer service was very friendly and helpful and wanted to send me another color but I refused because I am not really a make/up person...just lipstick and mascara and I'm good to go. But the experience with Luminess was all around good.

Excellent customer service and I was returning!

I have been calling to return the product I have received but, I always get the auto message stating you are expecting higher call volume I hit the option for a call back and still I have not received any call back. The product itself is ok but it is very messy once sprayed it leaves behind bad residue, so I refuse to use it as I am not sure where all it sprayed onto.

Never received help as I did not get a call back.

At first, I was a little skeptical, being African-American knowing that undertones can affect whatever colors presented on the screen but I followed the advice I saw on Instagram to order a color up/darker and it worked! I'm a very minimal/only do my make up maybe once a week so this coverage works for me just to have a nice blended every day look. I've had it for a couple weeks and it's worked very well paired with the primer and the sealant. Would like to see how long one bottle last since it's a spray can so you can see when it's getting low but overall I'm impressed. Will repurchase.

I ordered 2 different colors. They both are so warm…orange toned. I don't see a neutral color or a cool tone color to order like in most other make up retailers. Very disapointed.

I have not been able to find a product that doesn't crease under my eyes. The first time I used Luminess's airbrush foundation I was amazed at the fact it didn't crease! Next time I order I'll need to order a shade lighter for the perfect match!

I received the kit as described promptly and was only charged $3 for processing/shipping. The primer and foundation were very easy to apply. I personally did not like the feel of the foundation once on. However, I am a minimalist when it comes to make-up. To me it did not cover my dark spots and fine lines as I had hoped. The company was very nice and cancelled my trial.

Great

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.
