Armani LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION 4.5

Product Information

Apply a small amount of foundation using a blender brush to even skin tone and create a polished look. Ingredients Complete your iconic ‘Armani Glow’ look with products from the LUMINOUS SILK range: prep skin with the LUMINOUS SILK hydrating primer, correct and highlight with the multi-purpose LUMINOUS SILK concealer and enhance your glow with Fluid Sheer liquid highlighter. Flexible microspheres blend into the skin’s surface for a seamless finish that blurs away the appearance of fine lines

Also, I credit the light (but not at all watery) liquid texture that blends like a dream for leaving my skin smooth and never cakey. Thanks to its undetectable coverage, this foundation is the true embodiment of a “my skin, but better” foundation. The coverage is medium but it is easily build-able. I can apply one layer on my skin (blended with my trusted beauty blender) and I find it covers most of my skin flaws like redness and uneven skin tone. For places, where I do need heavier coverage like on my post-acne scars, I do need to build up another layer on that particular area with about half a pump and it does not look piled on or cakey. As I said at the top, I am not a powder girl, but I love this one. It doesn’t take any glow away from your makeup at all, but adds a beautiful radiance and really enhances the look of your foundation. A smoothing and firming fluid foundation with SPF 20. Inspired by silk lycra, Designer Lift is a lifting foundation that supports smoother skin and the appearance of a lifted effect. Armani’s unique micro-fil™ technology drapes the face with an ultrafine micro-lifting matrix. This elastic matrix seals in a high concentration of exclusive emollients and velvet filters that immediately lift, soften, and firm the skin surface. A blend of two micro-fil powders illuminates the look of the skin, and it’s custom-formulated with exclusive Prussian blue pearl pigments to assist with intense depth and luminosity, reviving skin and correcting color irregularities, while also relieving dullness—creating a soft-focus effect that emits a youthful-looking glow.Will suit people with normal to dry skin, Also will suit slightly oily skin. Cons of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Shade 5:

EVENS SKIN It covers every imperfection, yet still looks light and fresh. This is the really baffling part to me. I can’t figure it out. I can layer this on without it ever looking heavy. Or wear just one light layer and it really smooths the look of my skin. I know that there are few people who thought that this was a bronzer launch, however, I can confirm that this is, in fact, an all over powder and you simply need to choose the same shade as you use a shade that works with your Luminous Silk foundation. My shade is 4. Its lightweight and silky texture glides on seamlessly for an all-day, buildable coverage. Comes in 40 shades and suitable for all skin types.Inspired by the sheen and soft texture of silk, the Luminous Silk Foundation formula contains light reflecting particles that enhance the skin's natural glow. It can be applied in a single, light layer, or built up to provide a little more coverage. This is quite an expensive foundation, though a 30 ml bottle does tend to last very well. The product listed above does not contain SPF; if this is something you want in your foundation, maybe take a look at the Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk UV (30ml) instead. Giorgio Armani Makeup The formula adds a glow to foundation with its super fine particles of pearl. It looks a little like a bronzer in the pan but it is an all over powder and it gives a thin film that melts into the skin delivering a luminous glow. The texture becomes one with the skin and is excellent for blurring fine lines and pores – everything looks kind of airbrushed. Shade 4 How to choose your shade Hear me out: I already expected this foundation to deliver a radiant glow to my face, but I have very oily skin. Since I start to look greasy after 2 to 3 hours of wear with just a setting powder, I'll use a face primer and makeup setting spray when I want my foundation to last all day in the summer. Really and truly, the only downside I can see is that the foundation is pricey. But I absolutely feel like the quality of it’s the finish justifies the price. I only have the highest praise for this foundation.

LONGEVITY I have worn this foundation for 12+ hours and it looks exactly the same at the end of the day, with only some slight fading around the corners of my nose. Here is shade 4 in the Glow Fusion Powder: Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder Shade 4 Swatch Shade SwatchesIf you are looking for a weightless, liquid foundation that leaves a natural, dewy finish, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is definitely one to consider. It has a super lightweight formula and can be applied lightly to the face or layered to give full coverage. It is available in 24 shades and each is named via a number. Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is also an oil free foundation and is best suited to normal skin. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Once done, keep an eye out for sponsored posts on your feed. It could take minutes, hours, or even days to show up for you. It’s hard to find a great peach undertone in a foundation and shade 4.25 is perfect! I do wish they’d come out with one level lower, a shade 3.25, for my super pale winter skin. I’ve been mixing in a bit of their shade 2 (fair, peach) when I am more fair. I do not love the fact that it is so pricey and also I would not recommend this product for people with very oily skin who do need to set their makeup with heavy duty powder since powder tends to take away the luminosity of this foundation away, which is the best part of the product.
