I have a friend with very dark skin and like me, it was impossible for her to find a shade that matched from the "dark" range (she was on the opposite end of the spectrum in that all the shades in her range were too light, while mine were too dark). No amount of blending would hide the almost faux tan look that the lightest shade gave me. I selected "fair" as my shade range, and both of the colors within that range that I was given were far too dark. I am usually the lightest shade in all foundations that I've tried (and I've tried many) so there really is no way for me to pick one that's too light. I am an extremely pale redhead with green eyes, so if a foundation is too dark it clashes with my hair and makes me look ruddy. They send you two vials of foundation in two shades within your range. When you buy Luminess, they ask you to determine your shade range, which falls into the typical "fair, medium, tan, and dark" categories. The reason I sent it back without a second thought, though, is because of the shade match. I have "perfect" skin so I can't speak to weather or not it would irritate sensitive skin or aggravate oily skin, but for me at least it was very breathable and covered quite well. I was able to apply the product with no problem and the results were quite nice. If you are able bodied you should be fine. If you have shaky hands or issues with depth perception, Luminess is a nightmare. I love the airbrushed look (but I also love sleeping in ), so I figured I would love Luminess because it claims to save time while giving you a flawless face.įirst of all, the application process itself is fairly easy, and the results they depict on the informercial are accurate, provided the nozzle that dispenses the makeup is the correct distance from your face - however, if you are even a centimeter too close, it comes out in spurts and makes your face look downright splotchy and horrid. I bought it from their paid informercial, though, so I'm not sure if the specifics are exactly the same as far as shades (from what I can see HSN calls the shades "medium, tan, warm, and deep", which is different from the Luminess website). I tried it and sent it back almost immediately.
