“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.

You have to be very precise with your answers, so you can get the correct match.

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!😉

When I originally came upon the LUMINESS site there were technical functionalities where I wasn't able to place my order and then upon trying to use the coupon code it would not work. Then the discount code that the company I work for would not work. I placed the order finally. But still without discounts and customer service could not assist. I did not receive any information about the products and tools I ordered as regard to shipping except they were on the way but no tracking info and mi was charged and my payment went through but no information when I would receive them. Called customer service and my tools and products were delayed due to the foundation color was on back order, could not understand why other items were NOT shipped but I had been charged. The CS rep assured me the foundation had been received and there was a delay in shipping and couldn't tell me when I would receive the order. Finally received the order late last week, and that's not all but am exhausted with it!

See above and more but I don’t think anything will be done

I ordered this product because I was needing better coverage that didn't look 'caked' on. This product is flawless! I have the facial oil, the primer, foundation, and finishing spray! My face feels so smooth!

The only down fall is the brush when applying the primer. I'm not sure what makes it dry faster than I can apply… I also picked the wrong color, but trial and error! Will definitely be purchasing again!

I don’t recall receiving the message about correcting my shipping address. It took almost 2 weeks to finally get to me. Honestly, it was initially my fault for not proof-reading and realizing it auto corrected my childhood address. I immediately sent an email about needing to update my address prior to my order being fulfilled.

Reason I chose this business:

I've been using the product for a couple days now. It's very light feeling but I don't really see much different from my regular, more affordable foundation.

This foundation is a game changer! The color match was perfect, it is honestly the one foundation that doesn't make me feel like I have plaster on my face. It is so light and doesn't highlight the texture of my skin (fine lines and large pores). I definitely recommend it.

Reason I chose this business:

I first heard about LUMINESS on Instagram.

It kept saying that my order had been delivered, but it wasn't. Now I have two sets and don't know if I'm being charged for both.

It will be fine as long as I am not being charged for both of these orders.

I first ordered this makeup and was not happy with the color, was not a match at all. I called them and in 2 weeks I had another order. However, although the color match was closer it was not perfect. I called them again and i really didn't think they would send me another one. Guess what they did ad this one is the perfect match.

Thank you so much for working with me! I love this product.

As someone that doesn't use makeup at all I found this to be easy and long lasting. I never used the setting spray and was rather impressed on the coverage through out the day. I even recommended it to my mother and sister. At first it didn't seem to be my color but after letting it sit it looked rather nice.

I have a luminous airbrush machine and was thinking this might be easier but I think I had better coverage for the machine and liquid I'm not really sure about how I feel about this particular product I've only used it twice but I'm going to use it for another few days and see how I feel about it if not I'll return it and get the liquid for the airbrush machine

In this case, we can submit a shipment claim for non-receipt of the package and request to have it reshipped. However, the system asks us to wait 3 business days to be able to submit this, as sometimes USPS marks a package as delivered ahead of time but may take a couple extra days to actually complete delivery.

Great product, silky smooth texture, looks airbrushed. Coverage is very good and hides imperfections, red blotches, age spots, undereye bag coverage also. This saves me 5 unnecessary steps to applying makeup. Easy peazy. Beautiful

I received my order promptly and after trying the makeup, I found the finish did not work for me. I am very freckled and in order to get coverage, it did not look natural.

My phone call was answered quickly and I received information on how to return the system. Very professional and helpful.

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.
