Luminesse

Oh how I wanted to love thee Luminesse! Your promise of one touch air brushing had me at hello. Alas it wasn't meant to be. While this unit was attractive and easy to turn on & off, there was no option to adjust the intensity of the compressor (which propels the foundation.)

In our professional system from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (yes they had me at the name!) the unit has an option for adjusting the force of the spray. There is a very fine line on the Luminesse unit between not spraying anything on your face & planting a big dollop of pigment on your cheek. Imagine you're spray painting something & you put too much paint in one spot... As a make-up artist I spend a good amount of time on my face in the morning. This airbrush added steps, not simplified them. Proper care & maintenance of the actual airbrush gun is important for new users or performance will be affected. So though I'll continue to airbrush clients for their big day or special events, I'll stick to swiping on my beloved True Minerals foundation in my mad dash out the door in the A.M! Luminesse $169

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
