I Wasn’t Convinced This Airbrush Foundation Wouldn’t Settle Into My Fine Lines—Then I Tried It

Let’s face it: Finding makeup that looks good on aging skin is hard. It usually cakes, cracks, flakes, and sits on top of fine lines and wrinkles, making them more predominant. 

And don’t even get me started on how most brands advertise with 20-30 something year old models with no wrinkles, making us older women feel forgotten about.

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to find makeup that works for aging skin, not against it. I’ve been curious about the Luminess Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation Kit for a while, but really? Spray-on foundation? I wasn’t convinced it’d provide the coverage I was looking for until I saw real results from women my age. That’s when I decided to test it for myself. Here’s how it went:

I get an airbrushed finish in three quick steps

Something I don’t like about most foundations is how long they take to blend. I don’t have time to stand there for 20 minutes jabbing my face with a beauty blender just to get streaky coverage that cakes on the surface of my skin.

That isn’t the case with the Luminess Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation Kit. All I have to do is shake the bottle of Airbrush Primer Hydrating Spray, spray it on the brush, buff it into my skin, and repeat with the Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation. It’s so lightweight, easy to apply, and buildable for times I want more coverage. I get an airbrushed finish that looks like a filter in less than three minutes. What more could you want?

My skin is glowy, hydrated, and silky smooth

In my experience, most foundations that claim to be moisturizing aren’t. They end up flaking and causing my skin to feel dry and tight. That’s why I didn’t have high hopes for the Luminess Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation Kit, but I was wrong.

Here’s what’s in it:

• Hydrolyzed Silk: conditions my skin while smoothing its texture helping to retain moisture and make me appear radiant

• Hyaluronic Acid: hydrates my skin, improves its elacticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and plumps

• Aloe Vera: helps sooth dry patches and conditions for a smoother appearance

All these combined, my skin feels hydrated and silky smooth, and looks like I got my youthful glow back.

You wouldn’t know I had wrinkles and dark spots

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: most foundations crease and sit on top of wrinkles making them stand out. I had yet to find a foundation that filled them in, making my skin appear smoother and younger… until I tried the Luminess Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation Kit.

It fills and smoothes my wrinkles, and blurs away all the damage I have from sitting in the sun when I was younger—I’m talking about blemishes, dark spots, and redness.

And it looks so natural while doing it! At my age, the last thing I want is to look like I’m trying too hard. With the Luminess Airbrush Spray Silk Foundation Kit, my skin looks like real skin… just better.

You can try before you buy

I think one of the trickiest things about the beauty industry is that there isn’t a standard for shade matching. And what’s worse is that most brands don’t allow you to return open, used bottles even if the shade was wrong.

That’s why I took advantage of Luminess’ Try Before You Buy offer. It’s half the cost ($46), and I got to try it for a full 14 days. If I loved it (which I did), I got to keep it and pay, but if I didn’t love it, I could’ve sent it back within the trial period. All I had to do was pay around $5 bucks for shipping, which is a steal compared to getting stuck with a non-returnable $90 bottle of foundation from some other brand.

My aging skin looks radiant and youthful again

I have to admit: I really didn’t think this makeup would look good on aging skin. I’ve had so many experiences where liquid foundation, cream foundation, and powder foundation caked, creased, and made me look worse than I did without anything on.

But Luminess magically created a kit that looks flawless, moisturizes, and smoothes the appearance of wrinkles. It’s my new go-to!
