  • Lots of makeup types and shades to choose from
  • Long-lasting coverage when used correctly
  • Can be more subtle than traditional makeup

Cons

  • Makeup containers are small, expensive compared to competitors
  • It takes time to perfect the application technique
  • “Rent To Try” pricing system tricks many people
  • Difficult to get refunds

Please don't waste your time or money on this product!

By Ruby Ward, Charlotte, NC, Verified Reviewer

Please don't waste your time or money! This was crap. You have to pay to send it back, and they don't refund your money. I had to call and then they said they would refund only $19.99 even though I bought additional product to try and return it all together. It's a scam!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had a positive experience

By HelenMarie DeAngelo-Dawe, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I will not say I have perfected the use of Luminess Air because I have not had enough personal time to learn it, but I did find the DVD to be very helpful, and I also have found helpful hints online. The unit was shipped within five business days from the date of my order.

I called Customer Service/Support and spoke with Camita, who I kept calling Camille, that she was very helpful, courteous and took care of how I wanted to handle the balance. I also explained to her that since I was 66 years of age that I did not want to be on the automatic mailing program and she assured me that my account would reflect my choice and that I could just place my order online and it would be shipped promptly.

Bottom line is that I had absolutely no problems with my order or my preferences. I hope others will post their positive reviews as quickly as they do negative ones.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Scam

By Lisa Rak, Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

The infomercial leads you to believe you can have the equipment for $19.95 and if you don't like it, you can return it. It does not SAY in the commercial that if you don't return the item, you have to pay the full price for it and that you are also signed into there auto ship.

This is a scam.

Poor customer service, and they are not truthful!

By Fran Singleton, South Carolina, Verified Reviewer

Ok, just to tell my story! I ordered on a Friday afternoon from a TV infomercial. I received a conformation later that day saying my Air Brush system would be shipped in 2-3 weeks. They billed my card that day for $28.60. On the email was when I discovered the entire system would end up being charged to my card in three equal payments $39.95 (plus a handling fee) over the next three months! That's $150.00! And to add to that, every other month they auto-ship product at a price of $29.95 PLUS S/H. So just beware the system may be a great product, but you have no idea what it will cost you until you order.

Oh and by the way! I called on their next business day to cancel my order, and guess what? It had already been shipped (the email said it would not ship for 2-3- weeks)! Then I discovered when I received the package, it was not shipped until the day after I called to cancel! THEY LIED!

I called when I received the product and they gave a return authorization number (I waited on the line 12 minutes to obtain that number!).

Then they informed me I would have to pay for return shipping, and I never opened the package! So overall, I had to pay $11.38 to return to them! I'll be waiting to see how long it takes to get the credit on my card!

Not a very truthful company as far as I am concerned! Got to watch out for that word "TRY."

I love it!

By Teresa, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

It is easy to use and gives my face a beautiful finish, best ever, and I've tried a lot. I am 63 and have few wrinkles and some areas of discoloration, and after applying Luminess, it looks smooth and wonderful, and much more youthful. Colors are great, and mix and match skin color easy. I love the blush. I am looking forward to trying the lip tent. The only thing that I found a little misleading is the amount of makeup drops. If your skin needs some cover up dark circles and such, expect to double the amount of drops or more. I'm definitely happy I bought it. Give it a try!

Still waiting

By Ninette Mae Jackson, Oregon, Verified Reviewer

It's really sad when you place an order and they charge your credit card, and after almost a month you still haven't received the product. They use your money and then call you with some phony excuse about the shipping address. I'm not a stupid person, but apparently, they think so. It's pathetic when you order from other companies after you placed your order with Luminess Air and received their product within a week. So very disappointing.

If my order is not received within the next couple of days, I plan on turning them into the BBB.

You can't get away from this company!

By Kay Moore, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the Luminess Air System last summer (2017) and received the sprayer and makeup starter kit. The salesperson kept trying to upsell, which I understand since that is their job. When I didn't buy the other products she was upselling, she got huffy.

I paid for the air sprayer and introductory product (4 payments of $59.95 = $240). A little pricey, but I had agreed to it. However, it turned out that I was also "enrolled" in their monthly "club" at a cost of about $35 a month.

I don't use that much makeup and called to opt out of the monthly club. My phone call was answered, but I was told that they had phone problems and would call back in 20 minutes or less. They never called back, and I couldn't get through when I tried to call again.

I went to their website, and there was no place available to terminate the monthly membership. As a last resort, I canceled my debit card to stop the monthly payment being taken from my checking account.

A month later and somehow Luminess drafted $72 from my checking account as a debit card transaction even though they no longer had a debit card number! My bank is having to dispute the charges.

Think twice about giving this company your debit card number! It is a shame because I liked the product, but at $420 a year just for a couple of bottles of foundation, it's just not worth it. Moreover, you have a devil of a time getting out of their "monthly club fees" to stop the $420 a year payments.

If you have the funds available, it wouldn't be a problem. But if you have limited income, it can easily overdraft your checking account and cause other payments to bounce.

I was fair and made every payment for the starter kit which was $59+ a month for about 4 months. The "club" costs of $35 a month without a reason, or even existent, means of termination has so far resulted in $245 for literally one shipment of two bottles of foundation, neither of which match my skin color.

It has taken my bank filing a dispute to stop Luminess from continuing to draft money from my checking account, even WITHOUT them having my debit card number!

Difficulty returning

By Amy Ogans, Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I called and spoke to a lady after noticing a charge on my statement. She said it was for the membership fee and I explained I did not want to inquire any further fees from them, and what I need to do?

After a very lengthy phone call of back and forth with her trying to explain that the machine only worked with their make-up and me trying to explain it didn't matter to me, I didn't want any of it because my daughter didn't like it. I stated I would file a complaint with the FTC due to her not wanting to comply with my request, but that didn't seem to bother her at all.

Finally, she said she would cancel and stop any further fees. Today I called and spoke to a gentleman and he said I could not return anything because it is past 30 days and when I spoke to the previous rep on 1/25, she canceled my membership only. Horrible customer service, and it was difficult to understand both of the reps.

Worst company, don't waste your money. Shipping takes forever to leave the warehouse.

Absolutely horrible!

By Brooke Evans, Bedford, IN, Verified Reviewer

Customer service is horrible when trying to return the system! They are rude and very unwilling to be helpful in any way. They also make YOU pay for the return shipment. That’s ridiculous!

Really bad company and scam

By Dung, California, Verified Reviewer

I saw the TV show that shows Luminess Air, and customers can order a starter airbrush kit for $19.95. I went to the Luminess Air website and order. I missed the small gray print at the bottom showing that "After 30 days, buyers are then charged 5 monthly payments of $59.59."

As for the billing, I agree with so many others here that the pricing is deceptive, at best. I ended up with monthly payments of $53.94. I also got signed up for their "makeup club" for $36.72 each month. Uh, no.

In all, big fail. My bad. Be careful will this company.

On 1/3/18 the product was returned the proper way. 30 days later, three false customer service promises regarding a refund, and I've not been refunded. Scam.
