Armani LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION 4.5

Product Information

For the record, the L’Oreal True Match lumi foundation is supposed to be a drugstore dupe for this product. I have not used that foundation hence I cannot compare but I know tons of beauty bloggers who support this opinion. I have shade 4 which is the perfect all over powder for all my foundations. This is the same shade as I am in the Luminous Silk liquid foundation and also the concealer. Here is shade 4 in the Glow Fusion Powder: Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder Shade 4 Swatch Shade Swatches 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

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. And that glow won’t oxidize either, which is one of my biggest makeup pet peeves. When foundations oxidize, their pigments react to the air and the skin’s natural oils, causing your face makeup to darken or turn orange like a bad spray tan — and it’s pretty common. Impressively enough, the color of the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in the bottle looks identical to the color of my first application — all the way until I remove it at night — leaving me with an oxidized-free glow all day.

GLAMOUR, delivered

I am shade 4.25, light with peach undertones, and it matches my skin perfectly. It’s the best shade match I’ve ever found. There are 30 shades available and a range of undertones. 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. If you're not 100% sure of your closest match, take the 30-second shade match questionnaire listed as “Find your shade” under the colors. Flexible microspheres blend into the skin’s surface for a seamless finish that blurs away the appearance of fine lines 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.

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. I'm obsessed with this foundation and how easy it is to apply it to my oily skin. Here are three other complexion essentials that help elevate my Armani Luminous Silk Foundation routine to ensure all-day wear. I have the powder in shades 4, 5.5, 6.5, 8 and 11.5: Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder Shade Range – 4, 5.5, 6.5, 8, 11.5 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.

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.

IngredientsThis latest addition to the Luminous Silk franchise is a great one, however, fans of the original powder will sad to discover that it is being discontinued. This will also replace the Neo-Nude powder. Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder Swatches 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.
