“Great Product!”

Jessica H.
10/1/24

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.

It takes time to learn how to use but once you get it you will love it along with everyone else. So many compliments. Makes me (almost 50 years old) look lots younger! Love it!

I tried the airbrush makeup for 2 days and it seems like I would have to use a whole lot of drops of makeup to get the desired look. This seems to be a much more costly than liquid foundation.

Reason I chose this business:

I just tried it.

Love the primer & foundation but you lose way too much product when you spray it onto the brush. I would love it if there was a different way to apply

It took a week to reach me. After I received it, I tried it for a couple of days in different situations and did not like the look of the coverage. Easy to purchase, though.

I want to return the both products. Does not last even an hour on the face. Ordered July 30 and received it August the 8 so I should still be able to return it.

Reason I chose this business:

Many years of ads.

I have extremely oily skin so I'm having to reapply my makeup throughout the day. With Luminess my makeup never looks oily or Cakey and it's so breathable!

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted to try a different foundation to see how well it worked with my skin!

First time customer, and it was perfect! Received everything quickly and safely packaged, and there were excellent sales! Loving the products, and downloaded the app for future use!

Reason I chose this business:

Have been wanting to try a Luminess airbrush for several years, and i finally got one! It came with some starter makeup but I read about some other nice products and decided to splurge a bit!

I am not fully convinced I like this. It seems to waste a lot if foundation in this sprayer. It doesn't appear any different to me than apply with sponge. I am returning it. It's too fussy!

Reason I chose this business:

My sister in law has one and loves it.

I actually went to school for airbrush and was curious on this product. It used too much makeup and was bulky to hold. And it looks like a hassle to return so I guess they got me.

I'm so excited to try the product(s). I am a first timer and have seen the previous model and was impressed. But the portability of the new design along with the trial was a factor for me.

Reason I chose this business:

I don’t use makeup everyday but I do like that if I wanted to with this product I could still look and feel natural.

I need something with an spf. This foundation provides no coverage. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. When I wear my spf under the primer and foundation I can see my pores.

Easy to read instructions on how to apply. Product was lite weight and airy, but provided good coverage. The applicator tools were great and easy to use.

The makeup itself is easy to apply and has a great look without a heavy feel to it. I did however state that I needed a full coverage and this is not.

In the past year or so I have placed 4 orders with Luminess. Two never arrived and had to be reordered. It shouldn't be so hard to access products you like and want to continue using.

Customer Service vaguely answered questions.

Reason I chose this business:

Like the airbrush system and products.

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.
