Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is a staple foundation that has been raved about by nearly every makeup artist. I can now see why a lot of people love this foundation. It has a satin finish and is a very light texture on the skin. It has a light to medium coverage but is buildable. I think the foundation is more on the light coverage side but it's really beautiful because it shows through freckles and looks like skin. I never thought I would like a foundation that isn't high coverage but I have changed my opinion. It's so natural that I do find I have to use a concealer on imperfections or spots but I don't mind at all. The concealer I use is Mac Prolongwear Concealer in NC15.

I use Porefessional by Benefit along with this foundation as it goes on smoother with a primer. I apply this foundation with my Real Techniques stippling brush. I first use a pump evenly all over my face and if I need more coverage on a particular day I'll use half a pump more. I use a powder with this because I have combination skin but you can completely skip this step if you have normal or dry skin. 

The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation currently retails for €45 on www.BrownThomas.com for 30ml. I got mine in Dublin Airport duty free for €38.50.

I wanted a light weight foundation for holidays. I was debating whether to get shade 3.5 or 4, I decided to get 4 because I felt the 3.5 was a little too red and I was going to get more tan on holiday. I was a little surprised there was no assistant around to help me when buying this foundation, I would've preferred a second opinion from an Armani makeup artist. As I'm very familiar with different make up counters I knew which drawer it was going to be in so picked my out my shade, went to the till and paid. Overall I love Terminal 2 shopping in Dublin Airport because all the staff are really helpful and nice.
