“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 can't find any instructions on how and in what order the serum, moisturizer, concealer, foundation and setting spray are to be applied. Are they applied separately?

Reason I chose this business:

It seemed to be a cleaner way to apply face make-up.

It took forever to get the supplies. No one told me what was going on. I had to call and find out about it myself. Very upset about it.

They told me about the delay.

I was very, very skeptical about this product, but after seeing the commercials for years, I broke down and gave it a try. What a disappointment. I tried multiple times to make this thing do even a little of what the commercials promised, but to no avail. The air blows out and eventually some makeup comes out and starts to cover, then it goes SPLAT and I have a big glob. I figure I did something wrong so I start over. Get a little better the second time by adding more drops, but when I look close in the mirror all I see is a desert wasteland. The makeup is sitting on top of my skin and has not covered correctly. Think of a dry lakebed with cracks, and now the cracks are highlighted to see them better. Note... my skin is not dry, it's oily and I had just washed. The same thing happened every time I tried to improve the performance of this machine. I even tried using a primer first, but that didn't help. Also, this stuff never feels dry. My skin felt like I was running my fingers over damp rubber. I'm going back to mineral makeup.

I called to cancel and clearly the reps are required to 'save' the sale, but all that did it make me mad. Seriously, how many times do I need to say no? No is a sentence. Your poor reps are probably embarrassed when they have to keep pummeling a customer, and it certainly didn't do anything to change my opinion of your company. You managed to get two starts because the rep was nice.

Reason I chose this business:

I see the commercials constantly and I thought, well they use airbrushes on actors/actresses and they look great, so it must work. Nope. It might work for someone with perfect skin, but that's it.

Ordered online said it was delivered but it wasn't. Called in to get either a refund or new make up shipped. But at this point would rather have the refund takes way to long!

Bland they didn't really engage or make me feel as if they cared.

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.
