Review: Find Your Perfect Face With Luminess Air Airbrush Make-Up

8/4/2011

As you may know by now, I am a beauty junkie. I love cosmetics and fragrances, and pretty much anything that makes me feel pretty. Let's face it: As a sleep-deprived mom of 3 kids, I don't have a lot of time to invest in my appearance. With the daily demands of taking care of my children, my home, my marriage, and finding time to blog, I have very little free time to focus on myself. Some days, I barely have time to run a brush through my hair and throw on some lip gloss, let alone put on a full face of make-up. That's why I was so excited when I discovered Luminess Air. When they contacted me about reviewing their amazing airbrush make-up system, I jumped at the chance! I had never tried airbrush make-up before, although I have seen it on several beauty-related television shows. I honestly thought that this technology was only available to celebs and professional make-up artists. I was shocked and delighted to learn that this is something that is available to average women, and that flawless, airbrushed skin can be achieved in the comfort of my home.

When I received my Luminess Air Beauty System, I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated. This was completely new to me, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to use. So I popped in the included instructional DVD and as I watched the experts demonstrate how easy it is to use the Luminess Air, I felt my confidence building, and was eager to try this wonderful product.

The Luminess Air is actually very user-friendly. Everything you need to achieve your perfect face is included in the kit. There are several different shades of foundation make-up included, as well as a moisturizer/primer, a blush, a bronzer, and even their ingenious brightening glow. These products can be layered upon to provide as much or as little coverage as you'd like. They can even be used in facial contouring to bring out those cheekbones or even to hide things you may not want to bring attention to. And the instructional DVD shows you step by step how to create your perfect look, and even shows advanced techniques, demonstrated by a Hollywood make-up artist who has decades of experience. One of the things I like the most about the DVD is that the women shown using the Luminess Air are REAL women of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities. They are not all 18 year old models who are already practically perfect. These are real women with real skin issues, from wrinkles to blemishes to uneven skin tone. I like companies that use average women to feature their products, as this is so much more relate-able in my mind.

Here are a few key tips for creating a successful flawless appearance using Luminess Air.

Always hold the airbrush stylus about 6 inches from your face. This will ensure you get a light, even application of product. You can always go back and add another layer if you desire more coverage. Holding the tool too close to your skin can create a glopped-on, messy application that does not look natural, and just wastes product.
A little product goes a very long way. For foundation, I use 4-6 drops of product, and that is more than enough to do my entire face with medium coverage. For the blush, bronzer, and brightening glow, all I use is 2-3 drops.
Be VERY careful not to get the product in your eyes. I have made the mistake of doing so, and it caused me to tear up which made my make-up run.
Always be sure to clean your Luminess Air stylus after every use, or when switching colors. This is very easy to do. Just fill the cup portion of the stylus halfway with plain water, and then plug the end of the tool with your finger. Turn the unit on, and allow it to "back-bubble" for a moment. Then simply spray the remainder of the water into your sink or on a paper towel to get rid of any residual product that may be left behind.
WATCH THE DVD! This is an invaluable tool that shows plenty of tips and tricks to ensure you get the best results from your Luminess Air system.

Here is a brief video showing just how simple it is to use the Luminess Air. Please forgive my haggard appearance, as I did not get any sleep the night before and ended up crying myself to sleep, so I was not feeling 100% and am all puffy-eyed. But what better time to demonstrate, right?

After adding some lip gloss and eye make-up

See how simple the Luminess Air system is to use? Literally anyone can do it and achieve wonderful results. To the left, you see my finished look. I went for a light-medium coverage effect and finished the look with some eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. Nothing fancy, and perfect for everyday. With the Luminess Air, you can customize the products for the look you're after. You can even glam it up for date night or girls night out by following the simple instructions found on the Luminess Air instructional DVD.

The thing I love the most about the Luminess Air is that it eliminates the need for any brushes or make-up sponges, which can harbor bacteria and cause break-outs. Nothing touches your face but product when applying using the airbrush, which makes this ideal for woman with more sensitive skin.

I also love the way this make-up feels on the skin. It is incredibly lightweight, and feels like nothing is there. This make-up also sets well on the face, and doesn't settle into creases and lines at all when prepping with their moisturizer/primer. The finish is seamless, natural, and blends incredibly well, eliminating "stop lines" often found when using liquid or powder based foundations.

Overall, I am in LOVE with my Luminess Air airbrush make-up system. It's convenient, portable, super simple to use, and gives absolutely flawless results in just minutes. This airbrush make-up is also very wear-resistant and stays on until it is washed off with ordinary soap and water. I am thrilled to be able to use the same technology used by make-up artists worldwide. After all, who says that beautiful faces only belong in Hollywood? With Luminess Air, ANY woman can achieve movie-star beauty in less time than they ever thought possible. Sure, Luminess Air may be a bit on the pricey side at $229.90, but it is worth every single penny. It saves time and offers superior results with minimal effort. For a busy mom like me, this is definitely a must-have product!
