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.

**October 27, 2015 Beauty Bargain Alert** Luminess Air - AirSupremacy Airbrush Makeup 6-Piece Fair Starter Kit (Review + SWATCHES!)

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.

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!

Pur Minerals Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation (Light) Review + Swatches!

Who doesn’t love an airbrushed finish?  If you could replicate that look without the need of an entire airbrush kit but with one foundation instead, my guess is that you would be just as eager to try Pur Minerals Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation as I was. 

This non-butane spray-on foundation has a formula that includes the company’s specialized age-defying ceretin complex and moisture-rich liquid crystals.  The Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation also comes in four shades of Light, Medium, Tan, and Dark.  Since I fall between Fair and Light, I went with Light for this review.

Unlike a liquid foundation, this sprays out a thinner mist of liquid.   You do need to work fast or this product will drip.  The easiest way I found was spraying my foundation brush to apply and then blending.   This did the trick for even coverage that did give me a dewy glow and felt lightweight.  You can see more radiance to your complexion as well as smoother skin.  The pores are muted, but still there unless you wear primer, which gives it more of that flawless finish.

My only complaint with Pur Minerals Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation is the color.  The shade was entirely too dark and orange for my pale beige type of coloring.  I have no problem with Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Foundation in this same Light color, but this one doesn’t come close.  Please, Pur Minerals, work on a Fair shade for those of us, paler ladies.

Other than that, I thought Pur Minerals Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation ($39) was a wonderful product, especially if you’re looking for a great summer foundation.  Do check it out.
