If your Luminess airbrush isn’t spraying makeup, don’t worry—several common issues can be easily fixed. Here are eight potential reasons and solutions:
- Viscosity of Your Makeup:
If the makeup is too thick, it may not spray properly. Dilute it with a thinner or moisturizer until it reaches the right consistency. - Dirty Stylus:
A dirty or clogged stylus can block the makeup flow. Clean it daily with warm water, and for a deeper clean, press the trigger while covering the stylus opening to flush out residue. - Clogged Stylus:
A clogged nozzle can stop makeup from spraying. Disassemble the airbrush, clean the needle, nozzle, and tip with warm water or mild cleanser, and reassemble. - Leaks or Kinks in the Hose:
Leaks or kinks in the hose can obstruct airflow. Check for leaks and replace damaged hoses. Adjust screw-on hoses to avoid kinks. - Low Air Pressure:
Low air pressure can prevent makeup from dispensing properly. Set the pressure dial to maximum and adjust as needed, testing with water first. - Broken Needle:
A bent or misaligned needle can disrupt spraying. Check and replace the needle if necessary, cleaning it with a cleanser before reinserting. - Disengaged Lever:
If the lever is disengaged, makeup won’t be released. Loosen the needle chunk, push the needle to the front, tighten the lever, and secure it. - Defective Airbrush:
If the airbrush is defective after prolonged use, it may need replacement. If still under warranty, contact Luminess for assistance.
Additional Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean after each use to prevent clogs.
- Lubricate the Airbrush: Use appropriate lubricant to avoid rusting.
- Customer Support: If issues persist, contact Luminess customer service.
By troubleshooting these common problems, you can get your Luminess airbrush working smoothly again for a flawless finish.
