Wrinkle Cream Reviews 1
Overview
Surely you’ve seen the infomercials by now. You know the ones with the celebrities, the Hollywood A-listers and the runway models? We all want that flawless look that only celebrities and the wealthy seem to enjoy. All of us have flaws on our skin, some more than others. Luminess Air was developed by some of the leading makeup artists who work in television, print and fashion to provide regular people with the airbrushed look that previously was only available to the elite. Luminess Air claims that virtually everyone can even out skin discolorations, hide redness, acne, dark patches and age spots, slim your features, make your face seem smaller or bigger and achieve more even coverage than ever before with their airbrush makeup system.
Product Details
Where airbrushing was previously only made available to a select group, Luminess Air now makes it available for anyone to purchase. The basic kit come with a stylus and an air compressor designed for at home use, your chosen shade of foundation and an instructional DVD. The foundation comes in your choice of eleven different shades ranging from fair to dark shades as well as blushes, eye shadows, bronzers and highlighters. The makers of Luminess Air claim to never test their products on animals and that their products are as natural, holistic and organic as possible which is a rather bold statement considering the fact that the full list of ingredients are not made public. Some online reviews say that the product is not so easy to use and has left them with orange looking blotchy results. The kits are relatively expensive with the basic system being $229 while the refill foundations are price at $26 to $34. Luminess Air does not address the problem of aging of the skin which is a big concern for many people.
The Good
- Luminess Air has the endorsement of several celebrity makeup artists.
- The product has been formulated for in home use.
The Bad
- Luminess Air may be challenging to use for some individuals.
- Many reviews say that the results were blotchy and orange looking.
- The kits are expensive for the average consumer.
- Luminess Air does address anti-aging.
The Bottom Line
Luminess Air is nothing more than a bandaid which is intended to cover over flaws however it does nothing to actually alter fine lines and wrinkles. Makeup only looks as good as the skin underneath and if there are lines and wrinkles, they will show through no matter what makeup you choose to buy. Luminess Air may be a good concept for some people. The average person does not apply makeup like a professional makeup artist does by highlighting and contouring our faces. Many reviews say that they were left with blotchy orange skin and the product is expensive to boot. Most importantly, Luminess Air doesn’t address the problem of aging skin which everyone is plagued with eventually. That said, this product may not be the best choice. Anti-aging products which are intended to help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles would include the full list of ingredients on their websites and packaging. Armed with this knowledge, you too will be able to make a well informed buying decision and you won’t be disappointed.
I grant that not all products work for everyone, or suit their preferences, but I personally have had a wonderful time with my system. I don’t know if everyone is bothering to watch the DVD (I usually don’t either), but I did in this case. A lot of complaints I see seem to be direct results of not following instructions. The dry skin: me too, until I remembered that the make up is water-based, so my skin sucked all the water from the make up and left my skin dry. When I remembered to add a moisturizer first, that problem went away. I also forget to hold the stylus far enough away at times. that will cake it on, and leave a greasy area. You have to patiently hold it away from your skin and brush the layers on. I swear I never got so many positive comments on my make up until I started wearing it. Most of the reviews that I came across were old and about customer service, don’t be turned off by this great product because of those old reviews.

Hello All!!
I just wanted express my opinion about luminess air! 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 experience it for myself. 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..

I too used to use Heavy caked on make-up, but now with my Luminess Air. My face feels so much better and I don’t have pimple breaking out all the time like I used to. It’s wonderful. My only gripe about the product is how expensive the foundations are. They come in a TINY bottle and there watered down, so how come they’re soooo exspensive? All in all it’s a great little air brush but a very exspensive product.
