Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: Wear Test Dewy + Smooth goes on smooth, is long wearing and doesn’t settle in fine lines… sound familiar? Dewy + Smooth falls down however when it comes to shade range (24 shades to Luminous Silk’s 40) but it does have SPF 18 and retails for a very palatable AUD25.00. It sets to a natural, skin-like finish with a light sheen.įor a dupe? Maybelline’s Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation gets the coverage and finish very close but Luminous Silk applies with slightly more coverage. Its luminous and natural finish make it a staple foundation for makeup artists, red carpets, and brides. If you’re a light coverage lover, you can sheet it out, I would then recommend half a pump for the whole face.īefore clean-girl no makeup-makeup was even a thing, Luminous Silk was providing a soft, glowy, dewy base. The coverage is definitely customisable, it applies as a light-medium coverage and you can easily build it from there without it getting cakey or losing its luminosity. Giorgio Armani recommends using a brush: “The innovative fine translucent effect was achieved because Giorgio Armani Cosmetics was the first make-up brand to apply fluids with specific blender brushes that build up layers of foundation from soft to strong with high precision, use a Blender Brush to apply for a radiant finish,” I have the most success using a beauty blender as I find the brush requires more effort to blend the streaks out, and would end up going over it with the beauty blender to even it out anyway.

It applies beautifully with any method of application - sponge, brush or fingertips - it’s easily blendable, and melts into the skin seamlessly. But make sure that you are using a good setting powder or setting spray, or she will slide off your face quick as a wisp! It’s a powder-like finish that dries clear, which means you don’t need a setting powder.Ĭombo/Oily Skin: especially great for oily skin because it is oil-free, and it sets in such a way where it actually starts to look better the longer you wear it. Normal Skin: use a primer or just have skincare-prepped-skin before application. We then recommend wearing a heavy moisturiser and a hydrating primer as your base before applying. Giorgio Armani boast this foundation suits all skin types, let’s break it down as whether this is fact or fiction:ĭry Skin: while it does contain glycerin, it’s not the most hydrating formula. There’s definitely worse scented foundations out there, but my sensitive skin friends take note. Eau de Banana Boat? (However, there is no SPF in this product - go figure!). To me it smells like a very nostalgic Australian-kid-beach-summer-sunscreen. There are 7 fragrance ingredients in this foundation, and it’s been noted as smelling paint-like, and thankfully this does fade once the foundation settles in.
No other foundation can replicate this tech which makes naming a dupe tricky business. What is it with lux brands and technology? I’m not mad, I’m impressed! This foundation has a patented micro-fil technology which basically gets the pigments to lay flat on the skin's surface and sculpts and brightens the skin. As always, I nitpick, there could be more warmer shades throughout the depths, with the shade range favouring cool and neutral undertones. It's easy to find the perfect match for your complexion, especially as the difference between shades is so slight, with yellow, neutral and pink undertones catered for. The colours appear true to the swatch, and do not oxidise or discolour upon application. It feels heavy and expensive, but comes into the same problems as Gucci in that it is not fit for travel - or at least not the way I travel.Īvailable in 40 shades, which appears to be the go-to for luxury brands. Similar to our last review (Gucci! Read it here if you haven’t had the pleasure yet) this foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump, we love a pump.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: The Facts
But for the process of this review, and my job, I have separated myself emotionally from the product and given it a thorough seeing to- looking at it objectively starting from the packaging and moving all the way down to the finish. Now, you can probably already tell that I’m a big fan. A best seller - selling every 30 seconds around the world - this foundation is a cult product used everyday by men and women for a flawless makeup effect with a healthy and natural glow. So it is no surprise that Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation (GDP 44.50, US 64, AUD 105) is inspired by Charmeuse silk - “The Fabric of Emperors”. Giorgio Armani is all about quality and comfort.
