I had heard so much about Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation and now I finally own it.
Is it as good as everyone says it is? Pretty much. Though the foundation carries a hefty price tag, it’s worth it because if you find the perfect color match, you can have medium coverage that looks absolutely natural. That’s the greatest thing about a good foundation – it should look like your real skin. Another plus? The fact that it lasts the whole entire day without coming off even a little. Trust me, I have very oily skin and I found that I hardly even had any oil show through with this foundation. My makeup always looks fresh and though the coverage is dewy, it’s still a finish I can live with.
Also get the blender brush from Armani. It’s used to apply the foundation and is unlike anything I’ve ever used before. Although it is made of real hair, the brush doesn’t absorb any of the foundation and seems to look fresh no matter what! Pretty amazing stuff and there’s nothing else like it on the market.
If you haven’t tried this foundation, take the plunge. You will not be disappointed.
$80 for the foundation, $84 for the brush.
Although it is a bit pricey, you don’t have to use very much, and it makes your skin feel baby-soft and look absolutely flawless. This is one of the best products out there! Henna’s right – the brush is also fantastic.
Added bonus: Armani will ship you their cosmetics products (no S/H fees) if there is not a Giorgio Armani Cosmetics close to you.
I agree, Giorgio Armani does have the best foundations in the market.
As a makeup artist i only use Giorgio Armani and my customers always notice a difference. Their skin looks luminous, radiant but yet natural.
You should also try Face Fabric and Fluid Sheer…the Armani must have.
Okay, I recently bought my very first foundation as a safety measure for Those Days. You know the ones!
I did an event at Nars a few weeks back and got the foundation they used on me, but I’m not 100% sold, possibly for lack of comparisons. Do you have any insight on Nars foundation (I use the ‘balance’ formula) versus others, including this one? Because I work in very close proximity to a Holt… Yeah, it’s a dangerous location!
Hey DJ,
If you’re not 100% sold on the foundation and if you JUST bought it, maybe you could go back to Holt’s and return it. I would suggest this for any brand that you’ve bought. I, personally, like Nars foundations and if you get the right formula, they can look very natural. I’m loyal to 2 brands however: Armani and Bobbi Brown, and in a pinch, MAC, so maybe that helps!
It does, thank you! I just wanted to know what the best brands out there are; I like the Nars but I don’t want to drop all that money on a product when there’s a better one out there that I haven’t tested.
If I wore foundation, I’d totally want this! It looks soooo smooth and luxurious and smooth.
COULD SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS FOUNDATION WILL COVER UP VERY LARGE PORES??!! MINE ARE SO BIG, I COULD ALMOST DRIVE A TRUCK INTO THEM… GROSS HUH?
