Luminess Air Platinum Kit Review
The Luminess Air Platinum Kit is an airbrush makeup system which is designed to incorporate affordable makeup application and tanning in one product. Sadly, it doesn’t quite work out, and it’s probably better to go for one of the other providers such as Dinair.
Luminess tries, but it just doesn’t have quite the same effect as Dinair or Kett Cosmetics. The compressor seems to be of poorer quality and does not apply quite as well as the Dinair compressor or the Kett Jet. This is a real shame, because the price is quite reasonable being almost 100 dollars cheaper than the equivalent product in the Dinair line. Despite this, it is not worth it because my own Luminess product is starting to see signs of wear and tear already. The charging adapter is a little temperamental and at times the power cuts out in the middle of applications, which can be seriously annoying. To top this off, when I tried to get it repaired Luminess were not very helpful at all. This is a far cry from the excellent customer service of Kett and Dinair.
In conclusion, it seems like a good offer, but really it’s too good to be true. Go for a more respected brand that will last you longer. This brand does not get our recommendation, I’m afraid.

It’s an OK kit, but quite difficult to use. I suggest you go for a better one.

DON’T GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!!! THE ITEM THEY SENT ME BROKE AFTER THE 1ST USE AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK. THEY FINALLY TOOK THE STYLUS BACK AND THE COST OF SENDING IT BACK WAS OVER $11. I STOPPED PAYMENT FROM MY BANK AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET BACK 2/3 OF MY MONEY BECAUSE THEY INSISTED I PAY FOR SHIPPING AND THE TRIAL PERIOD. THEY ARE THIEVES AND THE PRODUCT DOESN’T WORK. AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THE PRODUCT, THE TEXAS BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU HAS 217 COMPLAINTS AGAINST THEM.

I returned my Luminess Air system. And it did take forever to get an RA number. I didn’t like the customer service. 2 things I didn’t like about system…they need to add a stop button on stylus for the foundation so we are on the right spray level. And the makeup kept spilling out of cup while trying to spray. And I can’t see while applying this! I wear glasses, so I can’t see in the mirror or wear glasses while applying. Just not for me! Will try again down the road maybe.

I was very satisfied with Luminess. I’ve used it now for several months. I watched the dvds and followed the instructions. I really like it. I have no complaints. Great system!!!

I have the Luminess Air Pro System..At first I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread, but their shades of foundation didn’t quiet match my tone no matter how I mixed them..So, I bought water based foundations from both Kett and Dinair, my $300 3 speed pro pump is to weak to blow either of them through the gun properly if I water them down they blow through just fine, but the coverage is then altered..I called Luminess and the tech told me my machine was wore out..I told her I had only had it 5 months..She then told me that was my problem not theirs and continued to smart off and be nasty..I told her this is the reason the web is giving luminess such a bad rap, she then said they don’t care what the customers say on the web as long as they pay for the products..I was just floored by her nerve to speak that way!!! I love airbrush makeup and will not use traditional makeup ever again, but I will not use and do not recommend Luminess Air Cosmetics to anyone!!!!! Try Kett, their foundation is awesome!!

I got my system a few weeks ago and I haven’t had any problems with mine. I called the number on the infomercial and ordered it through customer service. They were really helpful and gave me lots of tips. I read all these reviews about how awful this company is and I have yet to experience it. I wish that more of the positive reviews were posted. It seems that most of the reviews are from 2 years ago!

I have the Luminessair sustem and it works great. I do get good coverage and the machine works as expected. I’ve had it a couple of months now using it on almost a daily basis and have NO complaints. Its a great system!

I love my Luminess air! I use to wear expensive liquid foundation and a dual finish powder, it did feel heavy and cakey but I thought that it was a better alternative then people staring at my acne. one day i was walking around the mall and saw a makeup artist using it on a girl that had similar skin to mine. Skeptical that something so airy could cover up any acne, I waited to get a chance my self. As i sat in the chair and felt the cool air hit my skin (wow what a nice feeling for irritated skin) a few minutes later she said that she was done, Done? I looked in the mirror and I couldn’t believe that it covered my acne better then my thick and cakey foundation. I believe that has been the best purchase that I have ever made! I highly recommend this to anyone that issues or is just plain sick of heavy coverage..

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! Product is defective. Broke after 2nd use, within trial period and they refused to take it back. Sent broken replacement. Five nighmarish months later, hundreds of $$$ and time with “customer service” wasted. I hope a class action lawsuit is filed against them.

STAY away from this kit! I bought this kit because I wanted to get a good introduction to makeup and its NOT worth it at all! It broke after a few days and they REFUSED to take it back!! Don’t buy from Luminess air, it’s a big scam!
