Good but could be a lot better
I have a Luminess Air airbrush system that really does do a nice job of applying foundation with a flawless look. It applies quickly and evenly, but thoroughly cleaning the airbrush EVERY TIME is a MUST in order to avoid makeup drying in the nozzle, effectively preventing it from spraying evenly - or at all - the next time you use it. Cleaning the thing takes a lot more time than the actual spraying on makeup part, and gets annoying fast. Upon first glance I thought this was a great idea for the person who is not ready to commit to a real airbrush, or likes airbrush results but not all the maintenance.<br /><br />The makeup itself is nice with a good coverage and comes in a number of shades. The one issue which is why I only gave it three stars is that it does not come out in a fine controlled mist, but much heavier like a can of spray paint. Unlike an airbrush where you can control the flow by how much pressure you put on the trigger, this only has one "speed" and it's far more powerful than it needs to be. Then I looked back at the instructions which tell you to spray it on a BRUSH - not your face - and then apply it to your face. This pretty much eradicates the whole appeal of an "airbrush spray foundation" if you have to use a brush to blend it out, no different than if the foundation came out of a bottle. My guess is that the original intention was for it to sprayed directly on the skin like a cordless airbrush, but when that didn't work out quite right, it was marketed instead with instructions to use a brush.<br /><br />If there was a way of controlling the mist better, therefore being able to use it right from the can to your face, this would be a five star product. As as it is now, though, the "airbrush" bit is more of a gimmick than a useful tool. If Luminess were to tweak the delivery system, this would be a foundation I could see myself using on a regular basis.
