Luminessair- Review & Giveaway



I would not consider myself (too) high maintenance, but I am the type of person that would not even check the mail without makeup on. With that said, I am always on the lookout for great products that make getting ready fun, simple and keep me looking great.



Luminess Air is a new system that helps you create a wonderfully finished look and with minimal make-up.This is done with an airbrush- so you can control how much goes on, get a more precise color match and get a flawless look all at once! 
Luminess carries a full range of items from foundations, blushes, bronzers, concealers, tanning products, eyeliners and complete systems! 



I had the opportunity to review some goodies from Luminess Air, and I was sent a system to review and contained the following:

Getting Started Guide
Registration Cards
Instructional DVD
 A/C Adapter
Hose
Stylus
Comp
Carrying Bag
Water Bottle for cleaning
Airbrush Cosmetics Starter kit
Airbrush Eyeshadow Kit


It is recommended that you watch the instructional DVD before beginning and I did just that. The DVD is very thorough, even for super clumsy ones like me. Once I was ready to begin, I started with a clean face, and I used a headband to keep my hair out of the way.


The Airbrush Cosmetic Kit came with the above- 

Moisturizer and Primer
4 colors of Ultra Foundation
Brightening Glow
Blush
Matte Bronzer

I started with a light all-over spray of the moisturizer and primer, and followed up with a foundation. You should first pick the best foundation color for you- and even a color that is slightly off will look perfect once airbrushed on. The Blush was awesome- a great almost bronzing effect. The brightening glow was perfect to cover up dark circles. 


The Stylus is very easy to use and is way better quality that what I expected. When applying, you hold like a pencil and with very gentle pressure, you push the button. The harder you press the button, the more make-up will be put out. Also, you want to hold the stylus about 6-8 inches away from your face and keep your hand moving- this will result in a better application and won't end up looking "cakey."
Once my make-up was done, I was ready for the Airbrush Eyeshadow Kit! My kit came with 2 colors and a nifty little instruction manual. It had different options for applying the eyeshadow- a day look, evening look and glam look. For my first try, I opted for the day look. The eyeshadow is much harder to apply as you are working with a smaller area, but with a few trial and errors, I was happy. I love the shimmer tones that Luminess Air has created! 


Once you are done using the stylus, you simply grab the water bottle, fill up and spray through the machine to clean out any left over make-up. This is super simple, and I just sprayed directly into my sink! I love the metallic bag as it is keeps your comp stylus and hose together and safe, and of course is cute too!




-My Thoughts-

The Luminess Air System is awesome! Although it takes a bit of practice to get it down, you can create an amazingly flawless look!

This would make a great Christmas gift for any girl who loves to play with makeup and create new looks!

You use much less makeup with an airbrush system, making it last much longer.

All the makeup is oil-free, water-based, dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.


-Win It-

One reader will win a fantastic eye kit from Luminess Air! 
This contains a brown calligraphy eyeliner, black calligraphy eyeliner and a black mascara!
