What I Love This Month: Luminess Air System

Monday Jun 8, 2009 – By Nicole Mitsch

picture-2Creating a flawless face is a little like fixing a leaky faucet. If you don’t have the right tools you are going to make a mess. There is just no way around it. If you want that flawless face that so many famous actresses and models sport then you are going to have to get the tools that their makeup artists use to create it. And for a long time getting your hands on these tools was near impossible and expensive. Not any longer. The Luminess Airbrush Makeup System brings professional quality tools into your home (Starting at $169, luminessair.com). This revolutionary system was actually developed by leading makeup artists from the fashion, print, television and film industries along with leading cosmetic chemists and colorists.

If you aren’t familiar with airbrushing it’s the technique many top celebrities, models, brides and those in the know use to apply their makeup to look there best. Airbrush makeup is sprayed on through an airbrush pen and a fine mist of color gently covers the skin, giving the appearance of a flawless complexion. Spraying micro-dots of color allows the airbrush makeup to conceal better while enabling your skin to breathe. The handheld Luminess Air airbrush is designed for perfect distribution of airbrush makeup and diminishes the look of blemishes, age spots, wrinkles, redness and pores. Helps to provide a smooth, natural looking makeup application and gives the look of beautiful, young skin.

Airbrush was once for the elite and now it’s available for home use for anyone at an affordable price. Airbrush systems are versatile, you can airbrush on your foundation, blush, bronzer, body makeup, and body sprays. You can also airbrush on temporary hair highlights and tattoo cover cosmetics. Luminess Air airbrush systems feature a highly precise airbrush stylus, air compressor and makeup.

I loved the ability to not only apply my foundation seamlessly but also to then be able to spray by entire body with bronzer. The foundation was super natural but I could easily build it in areas I needed more coverage (looking at you Mr. Undereye Bag). I found the initial investment to be well worth the professional style results I achieved easily. And with the ability to mix one of the many Luminess Air Airbrush foundation colors, you can create your own custom blends.

Now I don’t know if I am ready to be on a cover of a magazine or broadcast in HDTV anytime soon but I do know that my makeup has never looked better.

    So thats how all those stars look like they are aging backwards. LOL! Well that and botox. Sounds like something that would be fun to play with. Don’t they have a trial thing?

  3. Seena Seena says:

    I didn’t know you could use it for more then foundation. That is cool that you can use it for your bronzer and eyeshadow. Cool.

  4. Tracy Tracy says:

    hey, I’m getting this soon. But I’m not sure I’m happy, b.c my color is like Beyonce and i asked the people what i should get and they said medium? umm, i dont think i will get coverage with something lighter than my skin color.
