Would this be a good lighting system for a makeup artist to use while applying makeup?

Im not sure that these would be bright enough for makeup. They give a good light for video, but compared to a vanity light bar, that are not that bright. Plus their size might be prohibitive.

Yes, I bought 12 of these kits to use for a Cosmetic Surgeon event. They did skin peels, injections, and other "medical" level activities, so I would imagine they will be just fine for makeup.

Hmmm I'm not sure as I've never had a Luminess system. The texture of the makeup is pretty thin bc it's water based so it might! I'd look up ingredients in both and see what you think

I use this as a spotlight to light a painting and I don't think it could be used for any kind of mission critical lighting application like a wedding its just not that powerful. The top part can swivel which is handy when pointing it at something like a painting. These used to come with a controller but I don't think they are available any longer so you can't put it any place you can't reach it to turn on or off.

The best answer I can give you is .... maybe... I ditched mine after 3 videos because it is very difficult to get even lighting. I went with LED's. You can try it, and if you have the patience you should be able to pull it off. You do get 3 lights and you'll need all 3.

You can use the light... But I would suggest using the same base and top coat as your color

If you will be under fluorescent light most of the day, it should work fine for makeup since it is a fairly bright white. It will not produce a warm light.

yes it can. I used this for halloween makeup. The champagne color makes you glow... in a good way. This item is very flexable in use. even detailed eye shadow can be done on low setting.

I think it's bright enough for makeup, but I have to turn on the overhead light if I want to see my dark hair in the mirror in an otherwise dark room. Fortunately I have a dressing table mirror too. You may want to look into additional lighting from a floor lamp.

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.

This does not produce alot of lite. I doubt you will find it ok for a bathroom lite . espically if putting on makeup. Sorry

In that the lights have very long poles, can be set horizontally and vertically, and have a soft tone already, one of the three could be used as a hair light. If you wished to tone down the output you could remove up to 3 of the four "bulbs" to reduce the lighting. BUT, the kit does not contain a dedicated hair light.http://www.ppmag.com/web-exclusives/2008/09/lighting-essentials-3-hair-lig-1.html

These lights are for taking photos so if you plan on being shot by a camera AFTER applying make up then it will be good. Not for everyday make up application though. Again, for taking photos of mannequins or souvenirs for selling online

Absolutely and this is what you want the diffuser to do. You will get great photos without the harsh flash and possibly all the red eye. I also shine my flash away from my subjects when doing portraits so that is done on purpose for the "right" lighting. It will work great. You will see a huge difference.

Yes it would be good but I don't like the lighting kit, it has to many parts, bit I use jus the backdrops the most with out the lighting.

It can be used very effectively and creatively for portraits (there a number of good video tutorials floating about). However, it's not a substitute for studio lighting -- although it can augment it or give you more flexibility when it's not possible to use studio lighting.

I would use it for drawing and it will illuminate whatever is right under it quite well but I don't think it would be optimal for working on a surface that is larger than say 2 ft wide. As for color accuracy, the light is pretty close to natural sunlight.

OBVIOUSLY, this would depend on the size of the room. The lumins of this unit are terrible. I've used them for about 4 years. I bought them hoping as you are, but NO! My small applications....invovling stage space of about 14-16' wide by 12-14' deep, with the units on their supplied stand (meaning less than 7 foot off the ground and right on top of the show itself, so NOTHING more than provide flashing colors to the onlooker. They do NOTHING for the stage, sorry. I use them only so there is the spirit of lighting in the eyes of the audience, and bought full stage lighting for the stage itself.
