![]() ![]() And the truth is, despite having owned a bottle years ago, I'd never given it a proper go. ![]() In fact, I feel confident enough in saying it's in the top three most recommended foundations that have ever come my way. ![]() "I have heard seriously great things about this foundation. The reason I don't wear foundation every day isn't because I don't feel I need it, but rather I haven't never found a formula that feels comfortable enough on my oily skin. And as somebody who doesn't wear foundation every day, this has proved quite the task. "Throughout my career, I have tried hundreds of foundations. It made me feel put together without doing too much but was heavier than I would like for day-to-day." Shannon Lawlor, Marie Claire UK Acting Senior Beauty Editor Before As I have naturally dry skin, I would save this for a special occasion when photographs or videos are likely to be taken. My face looked lifted and brighter but not necessarily plumper or more hydrated. "Somewhere between the hyper-glow of current complexion trends (think Hailey Bieber) and traditional matte foundations, it left my skin luminous but not dewy. It felt light but still masked hyperpigmentation marks and scarring present on my face. Instantly blurring, the medium-to-full coverage liquid removed the sallow tones in my skin, as well as shaded dark circles under my eyes. For someone like me, who prefers a more natural finish, one pump was more than enough. "I used one pump of shade 9 (although wish I'd gone for a lighter option), applied it to the back of my hand and then daubed in small dots onto my face, followed by blending with a small stippling brush. But, when the occasion calls for it, a lightweight foundation that evens out skin tone and extends the wear of my make-up? Count me in. "Now, I don't wear foundation regularly, preferring strategically placed concealer and a sizeable amount of bronzer. 23 years later, the beloved formula is still a cult item. "An oil-free formulation, Luminous Silk has repeatedly been named a celebrity make-up artist favourite, sustaining its popularity since its initial launch in 2000. The Armani Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Foundation, to use its full name, counts everyone from Sydney Sweeney to Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Lori Harvey and Padma Lakshmi among its super fans. "It's hard to move for the celebrity testimonials about this Armani foundation. So forgive me for always taking luxury beauty product recommendations with a pinch of salt. ![]() And when it comes to luxury buys in beauty, I find that, a lot of the time, people want the product to be good so badly that they convince themselves it is. You see, Luminous Silk costs a cool £45, making it a luxury buy (and I'm the sort of person who sees the appeal in a good ol' Rimmel foundation). Call me a sceptic, but it's for this reason I'm not a big believer in 'cult' beauty products-particularly when they're expensive. My favourite way to use it is with a big fluffy brush."īut I know as well as you do that what makes a great foundation for one person might prove disastrous for another. It’s available in 40 shades so it covers all skin tones. It’s also oil free and really easy to blend, so is easy for anybody to use, as well as being good for every skin type. But why? Armani Beauty Make-up Artist, Naoko Scintu explains, "The Luminous Silk formula is perfect because it’s buildable, so you can put it on really sheer or you can build it up for more coverage. Whether you're after the best foundation for mature skin, the best foundation for oily skin, the best foundation for dry skin or even the best foundation for acne-prone skin-the appeal of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk appears to be universal. ![]()
