I find this product too time consuming to use, there has to be an easier way.

Give Luminess five days and your routine will become extremely EASY! 95% of our customers get the hang of Airbrushing in the first two applications and the remaining five percent take up to five days. Airbrushing for the first time is going to take more time than your conventional makeup because you are learning a new technique. Your second application will take a fraction of the time. On average our typical Luminess Air customer will take less time using airbrush products than regular powders or minerals within one week. Don’t give-up, use Luminess Air for a week and then see the results and the time savings. Also, never skip on cleaning your airbrush by removing excess/left-over makeup. Spray-out any excess makeup after every application. A clean airbrush will give you the best makeup application, and takes less than five minutes! Airbrushing is very easy and our average user can apply their foundation and blush in less than 60 seconds!

Fine hair on my face tends to pick-up the micro-spray particles, help!

Some of us are naturally born with a soft "peach-fuzz" and at times this presents its challenges in makeup application. You may have airbrushed a light delicate coat of foundation only to find that your facial hair has picked-up some of the micro-particles from the spray. This issue is extremely easy to fix. Use a quality fan brush and gently fleece the facial hair; the micro-particles will instantly brush away in seconds revealing a lovely finish to your skin.

My makeup does not last as long as I expected.

Luminess Air is a high performance cosmetic which is rated to last for more than 10 hours. Consider the following: Is your face clean and product free before application? If not, Luminess Air foundation will not properly bond with your skin. Are you applying a single heavy application vs. a few fine coats? IMPORTANT- The longest applications tend to result from fresh clean, skin.

Never apply heavy coats. A single heavy coat will have a 1/4 fractional life compared to 2 or 3 light coats which will easily last 10+ hours or overnight.

I'm having a hard time matching my skin color with Luminess Air foundations, help!

This is a simple fix in six easy steps!

Step 1- Please locate all of the foundation shades within your starter kit.

Step 2- Shake all the bottles extremely well for a minimum of 30 seconds before your first application; this will ensure you receive the best result from your airbrush makeup.

Step 3- Please test each of the four shades on your forearm (Skin on the forearm tends to be a very close match to your face); spray a light stripe on your skin to reveal the color.

Step 4- Select the closest shade to your current skin tone. If your skin shade is not an exact match, don’t worry! A close shade will become very exact when airbrushed!

Step 5- Place 4-6 drops of the selected shade into the airbrush cup.

Step 6- Gently begin to spray product onto your face using a circular motion. It's important to remember that you should spray a light, delicate coat of product on your skin. Never pull the airbrush throttle all the way back unless you are cleaning out your stylus. Pull any further and you will produce a very thick unattractive coat. Go light with your coverage and then re-coat 1 to 3 additional times or until your desired results are achieved.

Strategy 1- Go for a light natural look as follows:

Step 1- When airbrushing, you want to apply the most delicate coat of makeup when spraying on your skin. Heavy makeup and wrinkles never go well together. Make sure to use a light moisturizer on your skin before airbrushing, this moisturizer will give your skin a smoother texture before you begin airbrushing. Then, use extreme care to spray very lightly around your eye and lip areas as you don’t want too much makeup on your wrinkles. (IMPORTANT- NEVER SQUINT OR FORCE YOUR EYES TIGHTLY SHUT AS THIS WILL PRONOUNCE YOUR WRINKLES, LOOK RELAXED AND THEN APPLY YOUR AIRBRUSH MAKEUP)

Step 2- Never hesitate to use a fan brush to feather makeup around your wrinkles. We promise that this will produce a very natural look.

Strategy 2- Use a dense concealer to fill-in the wrinkles. Call us and we will be able to help you with this strategy. First, apply your concealer with a concealer brush. Then gently airbrush over areas with a very light and delicate coat. Apply no more than two fine layers of foundation to the wrinkle areas. Always use less makeup in wrinkle prone areas as makeup will generally exaggerate wrinkles. Remember going light with layers will always allow you to achieve a natural result. Also, use a fan brush to feather your look into perfection for a fast and easy solution.

Airbrushing gives the ultimate finish and the secret is to apply the product using very fine coats.

Step 1- Keep your airbrush "one airbrush stylus length" or 6" away from your face. This allows for a more even distribution of makeup and eliminates build-up.

Step 2- Apply very sheer delicate coats by barely pulling back on your stylus (never pull back beyond 1/3 of the way on the throttle. If you are pulling back all the way, you are spraying way too hard and will not get the look you desire).

Step 3- Go extremely slow the first couple of applications. Once you have the technique down, you will see how fast and easy it is to apply your airbrush makeup!

Try this:

Step 1- Shake the makeup bottle to insure that your foundation is well mixed.

Step 2- Select your shade and add a couple of drops into stylus.

Step 3- A little goes a long way. The airbrush stylus has a throttle button which works much like the “gas pedal” on your car. We typically never pull back all the way, just as you rarely "floor" the gas pedal on your car. Just a gentle touch (about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way) is all you need. Barely pull back on the throttle until you start achieving the most delicate spray.

Step 4- Make sure you continually move your hand in a circular motion and never stop and start as this will leave a blotchy result. Keep your hands moving just like you would when using a regular makeup brush.

Step 1- Keeping your airbrush (one airbrush stylus length) or 6" away from your face. This allows for a more even distribution of makeup and eliminates any build-up.

Step 2- Apply very sheer fine coats by lightly pulling back on your stylus.

Step 3- Stop and see your results after each coat. (This may slow down the process and you may feel that your makeup application is taking longer than it should, but you have to get the hang of airbrushing if this is your first time. Remember that once you learn it, you will become extremely fast!)

My coverage is too light and/or is not hiding my blemishes.

You should apply extra coverage under your eyes to eliminate the appearance of dark circles. Huge Hollywood Secret- coverage is like camouflage! We always suggest a natural glowing look over a harsh caked-on look. Instead of baking on a thick coat, apply multiple layers one at a time. It is better to build up a few delicate layers instead of one thick coat! Try the following strategies and we guarantee you will be pleased!

Step 1- Use a light water-based concealer under your eye to conceal any dark circles.

Step 2- Gently apply light transparent coats of foundation over your blemish areas, and cover the blemish no more than 20%. If you can’t see your blemish anymore, then you have applied too much makeup! Please correct.

Step 3- Now apply a single delicate even coat all over your face and neck. Wait 10 seconds and repeat Step 3 until you have achieved your desired look. We always recommend to keep checking the coverage in your mirror between coats.
