New Luminess Air Mystic Foundation Kit

I had never used an airbrush makeup system until Luminess Air reached out.  It does take practice to operate the stylus and know how to shoot that pen to get that foundation on just right.  Still, once you master your technique, you will love how close your face comes to near perfection just from spraying thin layers of foundation.  Therefore, when the company contacted me again about their new Mystic foundation that also has concealer and corrector in one, I couldn’t wait to try it out.

Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Airbrush Makeup Starter Kit

Though I am no airbrushing expert, I have come to appreciate an airbrush makeup system after experiencing the Luminess Air Makeup Airbrush Basic System for how it can delicately layer foundation  to perfect the complexion almost like a second skin. Using an airbrush pen takes practice to mist your makeup properly until you get the hang of it. 

However, if you want an easier route to airbrush coverage–-only without the machine and a stylus, then you need to mark your calender for October 27 and tune to your television to QVC at 10:00 P.M. for “The Find” with Shawn Killinger.  It is during that segment that the Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Airbrush Makeup 6-Piece Starter Kit that I was sent to test out will be released at a bargain price of $49 for this promotion.  Normally, this kit retails for $175!   

What the Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Airbrush Makeup 6-Piece Starter Kit can do is basically provide a manual misting application of air primer, foundation, blush, and travel makeup sealant for beautiful buildable coverage.  You also get tools to help in your beautification with a Pro-Air Blender and a brush.

I selected the Fair Kit that came with Luminess AirSupremacy Airbrush Foundations in Shade 1 and Shade 2.  This is a water-based, paraben, fragrance, and oil-free foundation with ultra-low pressure aerosol technology to deliver that fine mist for spraying on the products.

The first step was priming my face with the Luminess AirSupremacy Air Primer.  After shaking the can vigorously for about five seconds or so, I kept about six to eight inches from the nozzle to cheeks and forehead before spraying.  Then, I used my Pro-Air Blender and spread it where I needed.

Shaking up the Shade 1 AirSupremacy Airbrush Foundation for about five seconds, I applied it in the same way.  When I sprayed, I reached for my Pro-Air Blender to work the foundation in.  I continued spraying and layering until I got the coverage I needed, smoothing with the wonderful brush that was enclosed.  This brush washes up beautifully by the way.

Starting on the left is the Soft Rose blush, then Shade 1  and ending with Shade 2 Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Foundation from this Fair Starter Kit by my wrist.

You don’t have to spray directly from the can to your face.  You always have the option of spraying the Pro-Air Blender and apply or mix the foundations in that manner.  I just preferred spraying the product directly.

My Fair Kit came with the Soft Rose Blush, which was lovely.  Misting a blush was trickier to do trying to spray the same amount on both cheeks, but like anything else it takes practice.

To keep my finished face preserved, I found the Luminess AirSupremacy Makeup Sealant.  This product is advertised to keep your makeup application intact for up to 18 hours.  I can’t say for sure if lasts that long, but it does wear for hours on end.  I had this makeup on from early morning until last afternoon without being disappointed so my guess it might just do that.

Equally exciting is that other products in the  #Luminess Air- AirSupremacy line will be available from 12 shades of foundations, tattoo and blemish coverage, blushes, body shimmers and other sprayable beauty products that you might want to explore.

 Don’t miss this excellent sale on QVC.  In fact, the Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Airbrush 6-Piece Starter Kit would be ideal for holiday gift giving.  What woman wouldn’t appreciate $175 worth of everything to get her gorgeous for the holidays?  Check it out!

Review: Luminess Air Makeup Airbrush System

Luminess Air Makeup Airbrush System

I hate to admit this, but I never used an airbrush makeup system.  Maybe I never considered one before since it rather intimidated me spraying my face with a pen filled with makeup. Then, Luminess Air invited me to test out a system.  At first, I wasn’t sure if would take them up on their generous offer, but then after seeing the beautiful results that could be had airbrushing foundation over applying it the traditional way, convinced me that I had to at least try my hand at operating that pen without making a mess or squirting makeup in my eye.

I picked out their Basic System in Pink ($199).  What I got was the compact compressor, the stylus, and the Airbrush Cosmetics Starter Kit that include two bottles of Silk Foundation (shade 2 and 3), Moist Primer (M 1), Blush (Tulip-3n), and a bottle of Brightening-Glow (G-1).

Before I attempted to experiment with this unit, I watched the very helpful five minute DVD that came packed with my system and looked through their enclosed manual.  By the time I finished, I felt more confident about how to operate my machine.

Though I knew basically how the system worked, I still was a novice.  Before putting in the makeup, I decided to practice my application technique first with the moisturizer to see if I got the hang of it.  I plugged in the system, then dropped in about six drops of the moisturizer to the cup of the stylus.

I remember the need for keeping some distance of about six or eight inches from the pen to the face before turning the machine on and pushing down on the trigger.  Otherwise, if standing too close and releasing that spray could result in blotchy, caked up makeup. 

I tried to pull back that lever as evenly as I could until I felt that fine moist mist on my skin because the speed of how you pull back affects how the spray is released and shows on your face.  The first shot or two was a bit tricky until remembering that I needed to keep my hand moving while using a circular motion.  When I did that on my third time, I was shooting that trigger better.  I still wasn’t an expert but I was improving.

I am fair with yellow undertones.  I did request the lightest warm shades in the Silk formulation with Shade 1 and Shade 3, the next warm tone, but received Shade 2 (fair cool tone) and Shade 3.  The Silk line seemed appropriate for a dewy finish with my dry skin.   There are three other foundation formulations from Satin, Ultra to Matte, depending on your skin type and needs.

Luminess Air Silk Foundation Shade 2 is on the right closest to my wrist with Shade 3 on the left.  Before use, shake the foundation well first.

After some color experimenting by pouring a combination of drops from both shades into the stylus cup, I kept my finger over the trigger while the system custom blended my foundation in its cup.  Using about three drops of the lighter Shade 2 to each one drop of the darker Shade 3 was the closest match for my summer complexion. 

The coverage is extremely sheer with one application.  I do recommend another coat to catch areas that you might have missed and even the coverage out.  For my skin, two layers were all that I needed to make my complexion seem beautifully flawless.  What amazed me was how perfectly natural makeup applied this way really looked compared to my face using traditional foundation, which is still beautiful, but a bit more obvious. My application also held up from early morning until evening without fading or gathering in my laugh lines.

The next thing I attempted was loading a few drops of the Tulip Blush into the cup.  The rosy shade worked nicely with my coloring.  I also played with the Brightening-Glow and loved how it especially brought out my cheekbones. 

This airbrush makeup system might seem more complicated than using a bottle or compact with your fingers or brush, but the payoff of what your made up complexion looks like is worth it.  Just like anything else that you ever learned, including how to use makeup when you first bought some, airbrushing makeup on just takes practice to apply it properly.  To simplify the process, the company has great online tutorials that are worth viewing.

I’m still practicing myself, but I am loving my Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup Basic System ($199).  Now I will be figuring out how to properly clean and care for it because I plan on continue using it.  The system even comes with a bottle to help keep it clean.

As to myself, I am curious about their other products to use with this system.  They have a lovely array of bronzers, concealers, eye shadows, translucent powders, lipsticks and glosses available that I need to try soon.

Have you tried Luminess Air yet?  If not, don’t you think it’s about time to try it yourself because I think that you’ll love the difference of this finished look.
