Doing Makeup has never been so fun! Today i bring you guys the product that's quite raved about on the internet. It's the award winning
Luminess Air Brush System. They sent this to me for review a few days back and I used it alot during the past couple of weeks to give you guys a detailed review.
My Experience:
It's the first time I'm using any Air brush system.To be very honest before i got it i was a bit skeptical about it. I take my foundation application very seriously and i'm not ashamed to say I'm not blessed with a flawless skin.So it was about switching my usual Finger/blender routine with an air brush gun. Sounds exciting no?
I'll first go with an introduction of the whole system that you see in the pictures above. Basically It comes in a small box with the Whole system inside along with a CD and a manual for you to get an idea on how to get started.
Did you notice something? Its PINK!!! How did they know i love pink?It looks super pretty. Even if I'm not using it I LOVE to place it on my dressing table. More over their Butterfly trademark is so feminine.
The system is not the only thing you get.The give you a set of four foundations to mix and match colors,bronzer,highlighter,blush and a primer.
That's not it! You also get a beautiful snake skinned clutch to move around the system with you without any trouble.It has compartments designed specially to keep the system and stylus in place.It's so beautiful that I love to have it in my bag anyway.
Now to the review.
The system is not a pain to operate.It's just very simple and one button gets it started. Its not too heavy either. The stylus is very well designed. It has a controller/trigger on top with which you can control the pressure of the air flow so it actually gives you control over the coverage.
The foundations and other products they provide are very watery because they are supposed to be thrown out with air. But I'm amazed at the pigmentation. 2 drops of the bronzer were more than enough for my whole face and collar bones. same is the case with blush and all the foundations.
The blush is matte while the bronzer highlights my face beautifully. Have you guys seen the beautiful sheen on cheeks of most of the celebrities these days?That's what you get with the highlighter and bronzer they've provided.
How did the foundations work? Well I'm extremely Impressed. I wasn't hoping for a full coverage but when it succeeded to make my skin look flawless I had to change my opinions for air brush system.
All the foundations require 2 drops for Light and approximately 4-5 drops for complete coverage of the whole face.
You have to be a bit careful when you start it because if you happen to pull back the trigger too much or keep the stylus close to your face,it can accumulate at one place and then flow down.It did happen to me the first time i used it.
Since you can control the amount of foundation the nozzle sends on your face you can cover the areas e.g scars or redness when you get close to them so each part of your face receives coverage it needs.Not more,nor less.
The thing i like the most about this system is that i don't have to worry about flaking, visible pores or powdery look. It actually goes with the name "air brush" because it provides complete air brush complexion You can never look fake while using it unless you handle it the wrong way.My pores are somewhat hidden and so are my acne scars
Once the foundations is transferred on your face it DOESN'T get out of place.Tell you what i have used this system a hell lot before posting this review.I tried it in every situation so that i can bring out every detail about it. Obviously my concern was about the foundation getting transferred since it's liquid and we don't even blend it.It gave an impression as if it would just stay on top of my face and get transferred with the slightest contact but NO! it sticks to your face once it's dried and stays on for a lot longer than a liquid or powder foundation.The foundations are specially designed for that.
The one thing that doesn't work for me is that it can't hide the redness on corners of my nose properly.Because they are curved it usually doesn't reach the area under it.
The usual foundations cant work with the gun because they are thick in consistency however i tried diluting the my Rimmel stay matte foundation in rose water but it didn't give the results as good as the foundations that came with the system. Even though the bottles look small they last a long time since you only need 3-4 drops.I usually use 3 drops for my daily usage.
I think
Luminess Air is an amazing invention in the world of makeup application. I actually enjoy using it instead of just putting in my face for the desired results.It has potential to provide flawless look that can be be a bit difficult to achieve using conventional makeup tools.Once you get a hold over it's usage,it can save your time as well.
How many of you guys have used Air brush system? What do you think about it?
Do let me know :)
