“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.

After I received my package, I had questions and Sam explained everything in detail, was very professional and followed up with an email for my reference. Hard to find customer service like that nowadays. Thank you Sam and thank you Luminess.

Thinking it might get better with practice. As of right now, the product doesn't feel light, but that might be because I am applying it wrong... I will keep trying to see if it gets better with skill.

After reading reviews of others I will NOT be ordering this product. Old, dated, not in tune with current product and needs. No thanks. Unless I am an uneducated person there is no reason to order this product.

Disappointed from the get go-ordered on 12/16 and just received on 12/29. It's a clunky product and process, not smooth. The product is not good quality, lacks complete coverage and the colors didn't match my skin well. I'll be sending back.

Though I like the idea of this type of delivery, and the system works well, The makeup was very average and looks matte. As an older person, it made my skin look flat and powdered. I bought the 4:1 silk foundation.

I had to negotiate with Customer service to get an RA# which took several attempts on hold. Since the customer service is off shore of the US, it was difficult to communicate. We finally resolved the situation after 30 minutes on the phone.

Reason I chose this business:

To try the concept. And to cover age spots. It did cover the spots very well!

The products where all opened, not sealed and I will more than likely have to return the system because all lights are staying on. It will not change as the directions indicate. Pretty bummed out. I waited years to be able to purchase this product and it's like I received somebody's item that they returned

Reason I chose this business:

I have been wanting one for years. I don't like wearing heavy makeup and this looked like a perfect product for me.

Easy to use, total light coverage at a reasonable price.
This is my second luminessair as my girlfriend liked mine so much I gave it to her to use at her wedding! As an older woman with combination skin, I love the coverage which doesn't cause lines of makeup. Once you get it you will never use store bought foundation!

The Luminess experience has been great; however, I am not satisfied with the makeup. The spray gets everywhere and does not create the clear matte finish that I really wanted and expected. I do love the serum that was in the package, but overall do not feel that spending the amount of money that is required to continue with the Luminess package is worth my while. The experience throughout dealing with Luminess was terrific. The package was shipped out quickly and packaged very nicely. I wanted so badly to love the products but just do not. And I do not think that the color was the greatest on me. It also seemed to make my face shine, which I do not like. Made it look oily.

Reason I chose this business:

I do not remember, but probably Facebook.

I have used it once at this point and the product is great. I don't like the feel of foundation on my skin, but this feels like my normal skin. It is not tacky or sticky. It melts into my skin and feels great! It was an exact color match as well!

I did not receive the make up in my kit, called the day I received it. Talked with a very nice person, unfortunately he began to tell me that he was going to charge me a service charge for the item that was suppose to be included in the shipment, at that point I was ready to send it all back but he supposedly checked and then told me the charge was omitted and the rest of my order would be sent.

listed above

Reason I chose this business:

I had bought the original Luminess several years ago which was difficult to use. This one seems much easier since it's cordless and easier to travel with.

To start off I called and was very worried I was going to get some pushy customer service rep that care about sales, I didn't. The male I was talking to me was very informative and patient. I'm a guy who doesn't know jack about make up and this guys was amazing and all about the customer. Got my package at a fast time frame and can't wait to surprise my wife. Amazing company and great customer service.

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.
