IMPORTANT

Hold the airbrush as you would

hold a pen, with a loose wrist. Find

a comfortable grip and place your

nger on the spray throttle. Use

your nger to pull back

on the spray throttle.

HOW TO APPLY

Always Shake Your Makeup

Dispense 4-8 Drops of

Makeup Into the Stylus

Gently Apply to Face

and Body

Shake your airbrush cosmetics

for a minimum of 5-10 seconds

before each use. This step improves

coverage, feel and longer wear life.

STEP

Turn On Your System

Plug in your system to an electric outlet

and power on the airbrush system.

On Pro models, pressing this button again

will adjust the speed setting.

STEP 2

LUMINESS AIR | 10 LUMINESS AIR | 11

*Don’t pull the throttle

all the way back. Pull

halfway back and apply

multiple layers in a

circular motion for best

coverage.

*Let us nd your shade at LuminessAir.com.

Matching your shade

COLOR MATCH

is fun and easy!

Shake Your Makeup

Remember to ALWAYS shake your

makeup to properly mix pigments,

improve coverage, and get longer

wear life.

STEP 1

Sample the Shades

Start by sampling on the side of

your face the shades provided in

your kit (or purchased separately).

We recommend that you select your

color in a well lit place with natural

light.

STEP 2

Choose Your Shade

Use a shade that is the closest match to your skin. Due

to the forgiving nature of airbrush blending, slight shade

variation between makeup and skin will vanish when

applied. If you have found your match, YOU’RE DONE!

Otherwise, continue to step 4.

STEP 3

Pick the Two Closest Shades

If you are unable to nd the right color match, don’t

worry, just select the two shades that your skin color falls

between. Use an equal amount of each product shade in

the makeup cup. Once you get used to airbrushing, you

are welcome to experiment and adjust by adding more

or less of each shade for the ultimate professional result.

STEP 4

LUMINESS AIR | 13

LUMINESS AIR | 15

The “Airbrushed Look” is achieved

by spraying lightly. Your best

spray application results will be

obtained when you pull back on

the button between the rst and

middle line. Only spray past the

third line when CLEANING OUT

the stylus.

Tip: Spray multiple light coats for

fuller coverage!

USEFUL TIPS

TIP 1

Spray Lightly Keep a Good Distance Keep Your Hand Moving

We recommend holding the airbrush

approximately 6 - 8 in. from the face.

Spraying too close will cause the makeup

to look blotchy and caked-on.

Airbrushing is achieved by constantly moving

the hand and always spraying lightly. Always

keep the hand moving in a circular motion to

obtain that natural and awless look. The lack

of hand movement will cause makeup to cake

on in one area.

The 6-8 in. distance allows the

airbrush to diuse and feather

makeup on the face properly.

6” - 8”

distance

Try not to hold the airbrush too

close to the face. Results will look

very blotchy and spotty.

Keep the hand moving and

spraying lightly in circular

motion.

Spraying in a stop and go motion

will cause spots and blotchiness.

Correct Correct Correct

Incorrect (heavy spray) Incorrect Incorrect

For best results, spray

lightly by pulling the

throttle between mark

1 and 2 on the stylus.

Only pull back your lever all the

way to the 3rd position when

cleaning, never when applying

makeup. A heavy, thick spray will

look very unattractive.

TIP 2TIP 3

1 2 3

LUMINESS AIR | 14

LUMINESS AIR | 17

Start by spraying one side of the face, maintaining circular

movements as you spray. Then work on the opposite side of

the face, followed by the T-zone area (forehead, nose and chin).

Apply additional layers as needed for your desired coverage.

1. Start on the side of your face

2. Move down to the chin

3. Continue airbrushing down below your jaw

4. Then back up to the opposite side of the chin

5. Move up to cheek and upper lip areas

6. Then spray across the forehead

7. Finally move down the T-zone area. Move your hand in circular

motions around the cheeks and longer, atter motions (back-

and forth) across the T-zone.

Remember to spray lightly

TIP 5

Light Coverage Layer

Spray one sheer layer for

light coverage. Every step is

achieved with a delicate hand

using a circular motion (spray

lightly by gently pressing the

button on the airbrush 1/3 to

1/2 the way only).

Full coverage

Very Sheer Coverage

Medium Coverage Layer

Allow the rst layer to dry

approximately 2-5 seconds.

Then apply a second layer for

more coverage. NEVER APPLY

A SECOND LAYER IF THE FIRST

LAYER IS STILL WET.

Full Coverage Layer

Apply a third, fourth or more

layers step by step. Each layer

should be light and applied

when the previous layer is

completely dry. This will prevent

a blotchy and caked-on nish.

STEP 1: Start with

a clean face. Apply

a light oil-free

moisturizer before

applying foundation.

STEP 2: Apply a

light rst layer of

airbrush foundation

in a delicate circular

motion all over the

neck and face.

STEP 3: Allow the rst

layer to dry 3-5 seconds,

then apply a second

and third layer until

the desired level of

coverage is achieved.

STEP 4: Complete

by applying your

Luminess Air blush and

eye shadow for the

perfect look.

Perfect Application

Keep the hand moving and

spraying lightly in a circular

motion or gure 8 movements.

SAME HAND MOTION AS WITH A

REGULAR BRUSH.

Want light or full coverage?

You can easily achieve any desired

level of coverage. Some individuals

like very light, sheer coverage, while

others prefer a more full coverage

look with their foundation. In either

case, coverage needs to be applied

with a light hand. Apply one or two

layers for sheer coverage resulting in a

natural look or apply many ne layers

for a full coverage natural look.

USEFUL TIPS

TIP 4

Apply in Layers

LUMINESS AIR | 16

LUMINESS AIR | 19

Try using our Luminess Air® Matte

Airbrush foundation, which is designed

to work with both normal and oily skin

types.

You can also use our Luminess Air®

translucent powder to mattify and eliminate

shine (great for touch-ups when needed).

ENHANCING TECHNIQUES – MATTIFY

TIP

Fight the Shine

Use the rose-colored

bottle for this step.

Apply Luminess Air® Blush on the

cheeks. For an enhancing technique,

apply a light amount above the

eyebrow and chin for a more natural

blush look. Applying blush on the

brow and chin mimics a natural, sun-

kissed eect.

For a subtle glowing appearance,

apply blush rst and then apply

foundation. (This application

technique is ONLY possible with an

airbrush).

BRONZER

Achieve light to darker coverage by

applying additional layers of bronzer.

* Darker shades reduce facial features while lighter shades enhance facial features.

Use the bronze-colored

bottle for this step

Use the white-colored

bottle for this step

Apply Luminess Air® Bronzer on the

face, neck and body for a warm, sun-

kissed glow. Use it after applying

foundation or simply use the Bronzer

alone as a fast nishing touch. Apply

as little or as much as desired to

achieve your most desirable look.

Begin with a clean face and then apply

your Luminess Air Oil-Free Moisturizer

before applying makeup. Apply a very

light rst layer of airbrush foundation,

then add more layers for desired

coverage.

Use one of the lighter shades (about

4-5 drops) to airbrush highlights around

the eyes and down the bridge of your

nose and chin to create denition and

achieve your potential.

To assist in contouring, feel

where your cheekbone starts

at the tragus then gently

follow the cheekbone with

your nger.

Then use the darkest shade*

of foundation (4-5 drops) and

gently spray directly under

the cheekbone. Do the same

under the jaw line to create

the illusion of a slim neck and

dened jaw line.

CLEANING YOUR STYLUS

Place eight (8) drops of water or Luminess Air Cleaning Solution

into airbrush cup as shown. The solution will loosen and dissolve

leftover makeup.

With the unit still on, place your index nger over the airbrush

nozzle to block airow. Gently pull back on your airbrush throttle 1/4

of the way so small bubbles appear in the makeup cup. Back wash

for 8-15 seconds depending on the level of cleaning required. Back

washing aerates and clears the airbrush inside.

Remove any makeup residue from the airbrush makeup cup with a

soft cotton swab. Do not apply excessive pressure to the airbrush

needle running through the bottom of the makeup cup as this

may damage your airbrush.

STEP 1

STEP 3WITH THE SYSTEM ON, blowout all water onto a tissue or in your

bathroom sink by spraying using the maximum throttle position

on your airbrush.

STEP 2

STEP 4

A clean airbrush will always give the best results! Don’t leave your stylus dirty

as it will compromise the nish of your next airbrush session.

Read all of these steps

carefully to correct

splattering.

CLEANING YOUR NEEDLE

Start by screwing o the tail

of the airbrush. Turn tail in a

counterclockwise movement to

unscrew.

STEP 1

Loosen needle retaining bolt-half

turn of bolt is all that is necessary.

Do not remove bolt all the way; just

lightly loosen.

STEP 2

Now gently pull the needle

completely out of the airbrush.

Be cautious not to bend the needle

while sliding out of the airbrush.

STEP 3

Clean buildup o the needle using

a damp paper towel. Dirty needles

can cause splattering. Be cautious

not to poke yourself with the

needle.

STEP 4

While the needle is out of the

airbrush, clean the front nozzle

with a fresh cotton swab. Remove

all makeup buildup around the

nozzle.

STEP 5

Do not clean the needle

after every use.

Occasionally, it is recommended to clean the stylus needle to ensure the

“Airbrush Look” and provide the smoothest possible feathered nish.

REBUILDING YOUR STYLUS

Now you are ready to rebuild your stylus.

and pulling back on spray throttle.

Now add 5 drops of warm water

to the makeup cup to prime your

stylus.

Tighten the needle retaining bolt

until the needle is comfortably

secure in the stylus. Do not

overtighten.

STEP 2

Return tail by screwing it onto the

stylus. As a reminder, be cautious

never to overtighten the tail

assembly onto airbrush.

STEP 3

Return the needle back into the

stylus, being careful not to bend the

needle. Gently push the back end of

the needle to make sure needle is

rmly in place.
