“Great Product!”

Jessica H.

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've been a Luminess Air customer for about 8 years and just recently upgraded to a Breeze. It really is a breeze! I love their products and this is the next best tool to help me apply them. Plus, if you have automatic orders and anything goes wrong with your machine or the stylist gets clogged, they are always there to help. While the regular customer service number leaves much to be desired, the service on what used to be called the "beauty club" line is spectacular. I think it is a difference in call center service where they don't really know the product vs. real employees with knowledge and ability to help you out. Over all, this is my daily makeup that nothing else can really hold a candle to.

Had a promotion for a sample of products for $2.99 which I signed up for and my account was debited $3.24. The site stated the items were out of stock soon after but would be shipped when restocked. I inquired about my order some weeks later and was told my order was never processed due to some type of error. The funds were returned but hate I waited so long for nothing.

In the past, I really liked this particular type of facial spray. However, this time I must've ordered the wrong one as it just does not go good as earlier orders. I won't attempt to send it back, but it definitely was not the right For my face.

I loved the cooling sensation and texture the primer gave my skin but the actual foundation itself made me break out very bad and was a little cakey.

It took forever to receive. The color was off and made me look orange. Also the way it laid on my face was terrible. Super sticky even after shaking it for a really long time. Getting through to customer service is a joke as well. I did the 14 day trial and I will be sending everything back. Definitely not worth it.

Rude and short.

The brush is fantastic.it's best to clean it every time you use it.I found that the foundation is easier to blend.The makeup takes little time to apply, it covers a multitude of issues, and I found my skin looked FLAWLESS for more than 18 hrs without a touch up.I slept in my makeup one night and the next morning my skin still looked great...this is a miracle foundation!

So far, the makeup seems to be ok. Color match was perfect, both bottles, without even mixing shades together. I'll be sure about how I like it over the next few days. The delivery took longer than I had thought it would. I ordered on the 13th but just received the order on the 24th.

Not cakey at all… the moisturizers in it don't make me break out which is rare with foundation that has them. The primer must be good for something because my makeup stays on for my 10 hour shifts.

Love the tool to help you pick your correct shade. One thing I will say is get the primer. It is light and feels like velvet. As for the foundation, it my pores more prominent. I was highly upset. Then within minutes it felt like someone lit a match to my face. I was so excited to try it. I remember my mother using the actual airbrush machine as a child. I know she would have loved this. Regardless of my mishap and extremely sensitive skin, I would encourage you to atleast give it a try.

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.
