“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.

So far I'm still learning how to use it, I love the way it feels. I didn't put enough drops in the cup. I think once I practice a few times I will get the right amount of coverage.
The DVD really helped a lot. Can't wait to do my eye brows, I didn't know that was going to be part of it, looks like fun. What a neat way to put on your makeup.

Haven't quite got the hang of it yet. The shades sent were too dark for me so waiting for lighter shades to arrive. Having a hard time getting it around my eye area without feeling like i am spraying it in my eyes. Will give it a little more time after the correct shade of makeup arrives before I make a decision.

I thought that I would try this product while the price was right. My skin is very dry. When it didn't arrive by this weekend, I began to worry. I called Monday & spoke to Handel who helped me figure out that it was delivered & I should probably check with the apt. Office. It was actually in our mailbox & my husband informed me that HE forgot to pick up the mail Saturday! Whoops!

I just did & was very satisfied, Thank you!

Reason I chose this business:

I thought a different technique might work better for older women…

I was a little confused at the ordering process - mostly which product to try as I'd only seen the make-up via the spray wand. I actually ordered the kit w/ the brush which is a great product/alternative. Makeup color is a bit off but I'll be exchanging for the correct tone.

I love spray makeup. I've ordered this before from your company and like it the first time. I did get a little darker color this time. My last order was a slight to light but it was wearable. Thank you for your great customer service and product.

It's a nice system, but will be sending it back. Between the base, extra coverage, color, blush and sheen, it takes me just as long as my old system. I tried it every day for 6 days and am just not thrilled.

Other than a little prolonged shipping time, my experience with Luminess was flawless, just like their product! Ordering was seamless and I love that they offer a 14-day trial for $5 so I could try their product without the commitment! But it was so great, I committed anyway!

The product itself is very nice but it just didn't seem to be any better than what I already use but I'm sure it works wonderfully for some folks. So, it was still during my trial 14 day period, I called to get return instructions and was astonished when they said I could keep it and I wouldn't be charged for it. What a great surprise! Very refreshing to deal with such great customer service.

You only really get 3 weeks and the product doesn't do what it's Claiming nor shows. The foundation is cakey not air brushed. Finished look is terrible and can't do whole face without it getting in your eyes and it's really cakey in the eyes. Not enough product for 30 days regardless. The extras I bought were so ugly. I want refund and send it back

Do not like it. Want to return it. Makes the bags under my eyes more pronounced, not as quick and easy as advertised. They sent me two different shades of foundation and when I put some on my hand they were both the same shade.

Asked for more information on how to apply the products, the booklet is sadly lacking on step by step instructions.

I tried it once and it looked nice, but it made my face look very dry. It also didn't cover my darker areas on my cheek. I'm going to try it again and I may need a darker version. It does take a lot of work with the cleaning, however I think that should improve tremendously when I'm not having to read the instructions along with every step.

Reason I chose this business:

My husband saw a commercial and thought I might like it.

Ordering was fairly easy. When i got the package there was a large rip on the bottom of the box. I'm not sure what was in the box but I did receive the Luminess and a few bottles. I assumed it was all there.

Selecting items was easy, you need to be careful you are not signing up for repeat deliveries.
You never get an email saying your order has been shipped. You always have to call for status and shipping information.

He checked on status of my order and gave me the tracking number.

Reason I chose this business:

I like their products, however my machine broke cannot use my air makeup anymore

When I used the setting spray it flaked like I had a coating of hairspray on my face and looked terrible. I had to wipe my face off and start over with my normal makeup. Not a fan at all. I've tried to contact customer service via chat twice and have gotten nowhere with the return.

Tried the chat twice, to return my items, I was stuck waiting both times to no avail. Chose option to receive email correspondence days ago and have yet to hear anything back.

First off the color base spray foundation is too light and did not match my skin color. The amount of foundation in a spray can did nor provide full coverage. Unless if you're looking for a more natural look this is for you. You probably get a couple of weeks foundation use from a small can. I'll probably stick to my liquid or cream base foundation. Worth a try, but it's not for me.

I know the color I have is not right, but changing the color will help with the issue I have. I have watched several videos on how to apply and no matter what I try it's not even and smooth. I am very disappointed, I was really hoping this would be the 1 that I loved.

Having my free trial right now and am in love. I wore it to work a very long and hot day and finally get to slow down this evening to do my usual touch up, thinking I'm probably a mess by now and was so surprised when I saw I'm still looking pretty fresh! My eye makeup is a different story but my base hadn't creased, sweated off or faded. Still looked great

I've only used 2ce so far but I simply love it! Makes my skin feel very smooth yet it's so lightweight! Covers my dark spots and red patches amazing. Also my face doesn't get near as shiny as it did with other product brands. You've got a customer for life!

Unfortunately, this product was not a good fit for me. Choosing a color online and then receiving the color was not a good experience. I received a tan color that definitely was not my color. If I can attach a photo to this review, I will. But it was not a good fit at all. I am going to look into how to return this product. But thank you very much for allowing me too try your product.

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.
