Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and Concealer Review - TESTING BEAUTY - EPISODE 11

Price : £44.50 (Currently on Sale at £31)

Texture and Coverage: My first impression was that it has a light, luminous texture for a foundation that I would consider medium - high coverage based on how you would apply it. It did not at all feel cakey on the skin and I loved how actually luminous and silky it made my skin feel.

It certainly looked lovely in person but I noticed that on camera it looked even better (a typical foundation usually does the other way around). This is the reason why it has become the cult favourite of event/red carpet foundation because it photographs so well.

Concealer was not a heavy concealer but it covered quite nicely. If you have it in a shade or two lighter, it would give you natural highlight when applied on the cheekbones and other high points of your face.

Colour Range : It comes in 40 shades very nicely spread across the skin tones from fair to dark and I could find a shade that matches perfectly for my skin without having to compromise on the shade.

The concealer comes in 23 shades so you still have a lot of options. I would recommend getting colour matched in person and getting a lighter colour concealer to your foundation if you like creating more contoured looks.

Longevity : Probably one of the best in lasting a long time on the face (with powder on the top). It did not move at all and I loved how looked under the powder, still luminous.

Value for Money : Giorgio Armani is known to be an expensive brand so £44.50 for the foundation and £35.50 for the concealer was not a surprise. Yet, I think it is at the very high end of prices. So I would say that this is more for the special occasions, on the days you know you are going to be photographed, for events, weddings, birthdays and etc. It is a nice one to have so when there is an occasion, you know exactly what to do.

Final Scores : 8.5/10
