“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.

Customer service is great and timely delivery but the product its self was not as I'd expected. I personally didn't like the smell of the foundation. The color was a perfect match and the coverage overall was good but the smell was a deal breaker for me.

Reason I chose this business:

I'd seen commercials and adds on social media

I was told it would hide my large pores but for me I feel like they pop out more. That was my only reason for purchasing. It felt good on my skin abs was a good color but not my number one foundation unfortunately

I have never been satisfied with the air sprayer. The first one (after they changed it to the handheld) did not last and just quit spraying. So I ordered a new one, which only had one speed, which was the higher one, so could only put it on high. Because it took so long to receive it, I just dealt with it. And then that one too quit spraying. So figuring it was in the sprayer head, I ordered a new one, which lasted for one use and now that one will not spray. I thoroughly clean them after each use, so something is malfunctioning.

The product is weightless and does not smudge! There is nothing worse than having foundation stains clothing. This foundation is far from that. I also use FAR less! Its amazing! I also get wonderful comments on my "perfect skin." ;)

I place my order on March 7th and today is March 25th. I've contacted Luminess multiple times to inquire about my order. It's either on back order or they promise my items will be mailed soon. Their advertised delivery promise is a joke.

See comments above.

I am still testing the product, I'm undecided on the color I selected. The product itself is light and applies easily. I've been told it looks nice on me, but I'm not convinced.

The color did not match well my face looked cakey and little orangey. I like the way it feels very light on my skin, but the color just didn't work.

I love the coverage. I use luminess for coverage of dark spots, freckles, and pimple coverage and then use a lighter foundation over it woth a sealing powder. Stays all day. Would recommend!

I love the way it goes on and feels, it is buildable coverage but was a good coverage with just one application. Only thing is the color didn't match but I called and they're sending me a better match and I can keep the original one at no charge.

Really it's so hard getting someone on the phone! I can say that in recent years I had used the original stylus machine. The portable one is the one I just bought and it I'm not as enthused about this one!

Reason I chose this business:

I had used LUMINESS years ago and loved the old school stylus.

I love this product. The coverage and the airbrushed finish is perfect for me. The only issue I have is the color I chose. I chose fair and need either light medium or medium. I will contact customer service or see about resolving this issue.

I needed to reset my password and the link that was sent did not work. I was told they could not do anything about it and to try the link later. I did eventually get it to work

Reason I chose this business:

I have one of the electric sprayers. It is about 10-15 years old now, but I loved the coverage from it and wanted to try spray.

I ordered off a commercial. My total order after trial should have been roughly $160.00. I added an extra facial package which should have added an extra $20 & $10. Well, I never received the free gifts for one and my total came to just shy of $400. OUTRAGEOUS. I have very light skin and I had to put close to 4 applications on to cover age spots etc. It looked worse than my regular makeup I used prior to this purchased. Heavy, cakey, defined my wrinkles. I mailed the device back. Alot of work, alot of time, alot of money. In my opinion NOT WORTH IT. I still don't have a response since sending back the device

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.
