Luminess Air is an “airbrush” foundation system that is claimed to give the consumer a more natural look than ordinary foundation.
Luminess Air
This product has been a mainstay of weekend and overnight infomercials for several years. Sporting the usual impressive before and after photos, the product is advertised as a “magical” foundation that gives you that “airbrushed look.”
Reviews for the product are mixed, including particularly scathing reviews of customer service and complaints of excessive charges and deceptive advertising (see Ripoff Report for more). In general, the consensus seems to be that the makeup is average to slightly above average, but customer service and billing are substandard. If you order, keep a close eye on your bank statements.
As an example of how divided are, take a look at the comments on Amazon, which reaches 3.6 stars, but 20% of ratings are 1 star.
It would appear that the product’s overall star rating online would rise significantly if the company would simply offer the product for a one-time standalone price, without a free trial or additional products to sell. This, plus the cost of the product, which tops $300, have left some consumers with a negative impression of the product. Those concerns aside, airbrushed makeup is superior to traditional makeup in many ways, and Luminess Air in general delivers a solid airbrush experience.
