The Look

Makeup-look-

That dry powder look is not natural.  Your skin is not supposed to look dry and unhealthy.

Makeup-look

Liquid makeup tends to give that makeup look featuring that famous “caked-on” “baked-on”

Natural Look-

Luminess Air™ tends to give a “Natural Beauty” look.  Airbrush makeup is very undetectable to the naked eye.  The result looks like you are born with natural healthy skin.

Finish

Dry-matt finish

Dry to Oily finish

Dewey natural finish (never dry), looks like natural healthy skin

Results of use

DRY- Powder based systems can give some-what reasonable results on the face.  Drawbacks include looking powdery, dry, chalky

CAKED- Liquid based foundations can look dry, cracky and caky.  Brush strokes and unevenness tend to produce inferior results which make you look like you are wearing makeup

BEST- Luminess Air™ is “Next Generation” makeup which gives undetectable, flawless finish.  You will never have that “You-are-wearing-makeup” look, Airbrush’s benefit is that “Airbrush look”

Cosmetic hygiene

Is your conventional makeup brush or sponge filled (also finger application)with micro- bacteria and germs?

Poor- brushes and puffs are breeding grounds for micro-bacteria and germs.  Each repeat application of makeup only introduces more and more germs to your face. Unless you change your brush after every use, your brush is surely a breeding ground for micro-bacteria.  (Next time, just smell your brush and you will know)

Poor - fingers, sponges and brushes are typically carriers and breeding grounds for micro-bacteria and germs.  This type of traditional liquid makeup system is usually considered notorious for causing breakouts.  Are you using your foundation sponge more than once?

CLEAN- Unlike other makeup systems, you never use your fingers, brushes or sponges to apply makeup.  Luminess Air utilizes air as the delivery medium which dramatically micro-bacteria and germs presence on your face.

Messy to use?

MESSY- Powder and mineral makeup tend to be messy.  Mess on the counter top, floor/carpet, mess on your clothes.

MESSY- Liquid foundations get all over your hands, in your finger nails, you have to clean-out your sponge or brush.

Extremely clean- all you add is a few drops of makeup to the airbrush stylus and then you apply to your face, neck and body.  When done, all you do is add a few drops of water and spray-out into your bathroom sink or paper towel.

Ease of use

Easy

Difficult- Even professional makeup artists have a hard time working and blending liquid foundation.  This is the hardest way to do foundation

Easy

Amount of Makeup used

Moderate- Much of the makeup purchased gets blown away or dropped

High- Most of the makeup used gets washed away in your sponge or brush

Low- you use what you wear.  You typically require 3-5 drops of foundation to do your entire face

Feel of your makeup

Dry/ Powdery feel

Face feels like you have a mask on.  Face can feel dry and build-up

Best- Feels like you have nothing on- Looks like you have nothing on!

Powdery

Typical Liquid makeup feels like paste or paint.

Luminess Air™ liquid foundation is as thin as skim milk!  Extremely light, yet produces the best sheer or the best coverage as needed

Coverage

Light coverage is all that you get with minerals and powders.  Anything more and you will looked build-up and flaky.

High- Liquid based foundations tend to do a poor job in providing lighter more sheer coverage.  And high coverage tends to look very unnatural and packed-on!

Light to High- Luminess Air™ gives you what you desire.  Nothing comes close in giving the most even light coverage for that extremely transparent to sheer finish.  However, if needed, nothing hides blemishes like Luminess Air™ for that needed coverage at times!

Long Lasting

Typically No- Mineral and powder makeup tend to require constant touch-up and lasts for a relatively short time.  The build-up of powder over the course of touch-ups can look disastrous.

Typically No- Liquid makeups tend to oxidize rapidly in air causing them to break-down, requiring constant touch-up, usually with powder.  The end result is usually extremely unattractive and caked-on

Long Lasting- Luminess Air™ cosmetics last 12 to 18 hours.  Movie sets are demanding work environments and constant touchups end-up costing time and money.  Luminess Air™ was invented to last as to not create extra down-time.  In real life, Luminess Air™ tends to give that true morning-to-night result.
