“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.

This order should not have enrolled me in automatic ordering because I know that I unchecked that box and chose the one time ordering option. 11/26/2023
Karen Blair
I have been using luminess products for quite awhile now - 3 or 4 years.
Since then I have pretty much thrown out all of my drugstore makeup.
I am light skin so I always order the 1,2, or 3 colors.
I ordered the 2 and the 3 this time and they are orange and a darker orange.
Only if I were an ompalula would these colors work
Now it is the holidays and I don't have time to play all of your product exchange games.
So again - very disappointed!

More than a year after buying and paying off the luminess unit, I wake up to find they charged me 39.99 for a monthly make up subscription that I never agreed to. Dont share your bank info with this company. I question they are broke and have to resort to stealing..

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust Luminess

You claim I'll use less than normal foundation when I used half the bottle just testing it instead of 2 drops of normal foundation. Propylene glycol and other harmful chemicals are included in your ingredient list though you have a dermatologist claiming otherwise so I'm not happy.

Took WAY more than a few drops (3 times as much) didn't cover age and sun spots or dark under eyes as promised. For that kind of money, very disappointed. Color orangey all though I am willing to try another shade. Sally T.

Not enough printed information provided with initial shipment.
What is shipped date? How to redeem $25 gift card? Didn't know about zoom meeting with Heather until I called.
Seems like a great product so far, more literature would help.

Was on hold for over 10 minutes, hung up. Will try again today.
Confused how to redeem 25 gift card, how to get correct base color. Printed info should come initial product. I am a little busy to watch several videos.

Comes with a carrying case that's convenient for travel. The compressor and stylus are fairly simple to use. When applied correctly, it gives your skin a natural look. Luminess Air has provided a "how to" DVD that helps you learn the system. The makeup lasts all day.

Compressor only has on off switch in basic model. Wish it had variable speeds. Takes some practice getting the right amount out of stylus. Up closer gives, more precise application but at full pressure is too thick. Back farther gives thinner application but can get on hairline.

I truly love the try before you buy! That's wonderful! But it's not for me. Even though I have dry skin, the primer and foundation made my face too oily. And also didn't di much to my under eye wrinkles and some of my bigger pores. I even watch videos on YouTube to make sure I was doing it right I also received the spray and the squirt is horrible but overall this should work for hopefully anyone else just not me.

Reason I chose this business:

I saw the promotions on TV but I also saw one on Facebook that offered try before you buy.

Items are shipped almost immediately, super fast arrival, makeup stays on all day, product is what you see on the site. I will never ever put on makeup any other way, I've been ruined for old fashioned sponges, tissues, etc... when putting on my face. I strongly recommend everyone get this system.

Been using Luminess for approximately seven years. No idea what occurred yet my last two orders have not been correct. My gosh, just try to get a competent CSR on the phone. Ask for a supervisor and you will be placed on hold for hours and virtually disconnected. Emails go unanswered even when you email proof. Unable to understand the customer service representatives and then they become borderline belligerent. After hours upon hours of frustration, a nice CSR mailed my incomplete order. Unfortunately, it was mailed to incorrect address. The saga continues!

Tip for consumers:
Think twice before using Luminess???

I never received but 1/2 of my last 2 orders.

Very easy and user friendly to apply. Unfortunately I'm not happy with how much it bleeds even after blotting with a sponge. I won't be ordering it in the future. The shopping experience was fantastic.

Eveything is at your fingertips, making your shopping experience simple. I love you can try before you buy….I just wish you could swap out for a different shade. Mine is wrong and the 800 number won't get me to an agent.

I need to swap out the color as this one is orange and I was not able to reach a rep. I have been sick with Covid this week and thank you for reminding me I need to return this to not be charged. I’d love to try a different t color….this one I tried once, doesn’t match and it affects my sinuses….not so much hypoallergenic. I love the idea and the brush!! I love it.

Thank you, I finally got the sample last week. Unfortunately this color 030 does not match my skin. I should probably get 020. I left a message for the customer service rep who gave me a call but have not heard anything from her yet. I just need to know how to return this item coz i got rid of all the packs.

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.
