“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.

My skin is starting to age and lines were becoming an issue as other foundations began settling in the creases. I am 72 so yes I expected wrinkles but I do not want to draw attention to them. The light application of diffused product minimizes the look at wrinkles and feels much better on my skin. Thank you for making a product that the average woman on the street can use at a price that is affordable.

My skin looks less cake like! Feels smooth and my fine lines are not filled with product at the end of the day.

So they automatically opt in to additional charge when you buy products and I didn't realize that. I claimed then customer service rep accused me because I didn't read carefully the instructions (very tricky)

Customer service rep was arrogant never apologized for inconvenience instead did not really listen when I talked! I made a claim and I got reply from "her" Or the company protected the customer rep and didn't say anything to me it's really funny! Keep that attitude and you won't survive!

By the way product is not worth buying...

For someone with rosacea and sensitive skin, I'm always nervous trying new foundations. I purchased the primer, foundation, and setting spray and I love it. It's buildable and stays on all day. Covers everything I need it to. I'm curious how long it will last though. If I can get a month out of one bottle, I'll purchase again!

The package cake damaged and there was a liquid item spilled all over the other items. Also I was completely unaware I would be charged more payments as the info commercial stated the price and what I would receive. It wasnt until I got my invoice that I was informed in small writing the details of further charges. Very misleading so I plan to cancel.

It's ok. Honestly its more work than it's worth…and a high price for how not simple it is.
Maybe I'm the problem but my daughter and I tired and tried and we always ended up blending it in with a sponge or brush anyway. So really it's an unnecessary hassle.

It's not anything like the videos show. It's not a clear match as shown, even after mixing multiple colors. It does not go on that smooth and it takes a LOT of makeup just to cover one small area. Overall not impressed at all.

I've been looking for a new foundation or skin tint that won't settle in my lines, etc. I had high hopes for this but it just didn't work like I'd hoped. It may be great for others but it's a hard pass for me.

Reason I chose this business:

In search of the right product for my skin

I love the product but encourage people to watch the instructional videos available! I will keep practicing, but my first try was much better than traditional foundation! I'm 56 and my skin loves this new way of doing my makeup!

Reason I chose this business:

I like the tool, it’s affordable, breaking the payments apart make it real easy to do something for yourself that women seem to never do enough of!

Received it fairly quickly and everything was packaged perfect & neat. There's so much more included than I was expecting. I love all the trial offers and free samples. I even received another promotional offer for 25$ off any items. Thank you! I look forward to trying out all the various items.

Reason I chose this business:

I found Luminess while browsing airbrush make up sets. This one seemed to be rated better overall.

Shipped when it said it would and arrived on time. Feels extremely lightweight and color matched perfectly. The only thing I didn't like was when I opened the package it has a strong smell of paint thinner and I didn't know butane was used in makeup…apparently it's common since it's a spray foundation and primer. Never knew that lol. Anyways, I think I'm going to keep it and possibly order again in the future

My order came as expected, no issues there. I am disappointed in the results after applying the makeup. I think I must stop trying new products as I am simply too old to have any beneficial results. My lines and wrinkles are too imbedded to benefit from these products.

Reason I chose this business:

TV ad, I think.

It would be nice to see Warm/Neutral/Cool in the color selections. I chose what I thought was the best color,I looked like a yellow zombie. Shade 030. It showed any flaw on my face that wasn't completely smooth (acne, post acne healing). Tried different application approaches including how I prepped my skin, same result.

The on-line website is fine.
However, when a customer requested a 2 day shipping for work - you could have costed me my job - as an Independent Contractor, you have to be reliable.
Also, the constant messages to buy more products becomes an insult to a Professional
Who relies on efficiency and time is of the essence.

The person was professional, cordial and said that I was not charged for the extra shipping cost - but they can only say what they are told.

Reason I chose this business:

Because of fellow colleagues.

Hey Barbara! Thanks so much for leaving your feedback with us! Customers can certainly purchase our priority shipping for it to be delivered sooner; we do not see that priority shipping was added to any of your orders therefore there was no charge for priority shipping - however, all orders takes 1-2 business days for it to process and 7-10 business days for standard delivery. We promote our offers for our customers to take part of the special deals or new additions we have added to our makeup/airbrush line we dont want you to miss! Please let us know if you need anything else to assist you throughout your Luminess journey! ❤️

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.
