GIORGIO ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK 5.9 SKIN

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.
