Once
I've read: „Beauty isn't about having a
pretty face, it's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, a pretty soul. A
beautiful appearance will last a few decades, but a beautiful personality will
last a lifetime.“ Sometimes I ponder how wonderful it would be if beauty
magazines promoted such messages and facilitate the growing up of little girls,
telling them that each have something beautiful inside, rather then compare
themselves with photoshoped faces whose natural beauty is obscured by thick
layer of makeup. I was never approving of excessive makeup and always preferred
powder or liquid foundation underneath which a natural looks wouldn't be lost.
After a lengthy search, I found it in Giorgio
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.
I'll
start with the packaging. The liquid foundation comes in an elegant and
sophisticated elliptical 30 ml bottle of recognizable Armani design. Lower part is made of transparent shaded glass
through which you can see the hue and check the consumption, while on top there
is a black lacquered plastic pump for optimal dosing. The lid is made out of
same material with a silver Giorgio Armani
logo.
First time I heard about it was when Victoria Beckham mentioned it laudably
in an interview, saying that it is
the only one she uses. Then I read that Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen also
wear it, but the final decision for purchase came when I discovered that one of
the consumers is Meghan Markle. The reason why she in particular was the key
factor is the fact that every time I see her face on TV or in a magazine it
gives the impression of complete naturalness and her likable freckels comes to
fruition. She wore the foundation on her wedding day and yet her face seemed to
have nothing on it.
Luminous Silk Foundation allows natural and at the same time chic makeup look and reveals the inner glow. Top experts in Armani labs have presented revolutionary
micro-fil textures, an approach to cosmetics boosted by advanced fiber
technology. Inspired by charmeuse silk, “the fabric of emperors”, this
glistening foundation weightlessly glides across the face and produce a deep,
flawless sheen. New generation of extremely light, radiant, satin and splendid
formulas introduce colors and textures in a nouveau,
different way, offering evenness, smooth application and incredible softness
and comfort.
Armani foundation
procures lasting hydration and coverage, the sensation of “second skin” with a
sunny finish and impeccable durability in all conditions. After utilization,
the texture operatively merges with the skin and blurs the irregularities
beneath airy veil that does not cause any weight. Velvety, illuminating natural
finish can be upgraded if needed and because of its spectacular upstroke the
foundation is an indispensable part of makeup for women who knows exactly what
they want: to be beautiful, self-confident and inartificial. Armani himself
stated that this product, no matter how many layers you apply, sieves a natural
skin’s luster. That’s why I love it so much, along with light to medium
coverage, buildability, bright finish and persistent hydration. With its unique
formula and because of all of the above said, it has achieved an iconic status
in cosmetics and turn into absolute favourite among numerous makeup artists,
and with the help of wide selection of 31 nuances which are suitable for every
single type of complexion it gained fans and admirers on a global scale.
The premier usage of Luminous
Silk Foundation was like love at first sight! The texture is creamy and
exceptionally lightweight and it felt like I didn’t place anything on my face.
When applying I always move from the centre to the sides of my face and one
layer is enough to attain fresh, airy and youthful look. Since my face is clear
and free of marks, any additional overlay is quite unrequired, and preferable
shade 4 perfectly matches my complexion, while silky texture seems very natural
and leaves no impression of the mask.
I normally employ the foundation with Beauty Blender in
classical pink hue. I’m sure that everyone at least once dealt with this
extraordinarily efficient applicator which, due to exclusive water-activated
foam, a design devised for delineation of seamless lines, reusability and
supremely soft texture, secures the practise of the so-called airbrush that
absorbs minimal amount of product so your favourite formula ends up on the face
instead on the sponge. In my opinion it’s ideal for powders, liquid
foundations, BB creams, concealers and for thorough coverage and finish. It’s
also the conviction of entire cosmetic industry as this blender won the Allure Best of Beauty award for the
tenth time in 2018.
It's the only device I use, because it supplies precise and simple setting, improvement through build
up, it’s light and practical, tender and comfortable upon touch and I can reach
and cover all parts on my face with it.
As you've already observed in previous posts, I put more emphasis on skin care. I believe that glittering
and glossy skin originate from proper care, meaning that it’s possible to use
less makeup to keep the skin still glowing. In that regard, for me it's
sufficient to put on just this foundation and Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine Lipstick in shade 502 Drama.
The delicate, facile Giorgio
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation makes me feel like that, enhances the skin
tone and obfuscates potential fissures without the effect of a mask. Face is
not a mask – don’t hide it. Although I’m aware that we as people strive to
perfection in various fields, and perfection of looks and appearance is perhaps
most desirable one, still I’m more inclined to be real. We are born to be real,
not perfect. Perfection is an illusion based on our own perception. We are all
perfect in our imperfections.
Have you tried this liquid foundation? What are your
impressions? Write me in the comments.
All the best till the next post!

DeleteAll the flower power heaven gorgeous goddess! This foundation looks beyond stunning and I love the natural message behind it. You made such a valid point about magazines promoting inner beauty instead of photoshopped images, I think we've reached a more "real" point in society where most people want to feel reassured when they read a magazine instead of downbeat and insecure. Especially when it comes to the wellbeing of young girls who read these magazines. I'm so happy this foundation was a gem for you, the lipstick looks truly stunning too! ♥︎

Welcome to my blog 💖
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! I really appreciate it.
DeleteWhen you try this foundation I would like to hear your opinion about it, and do you like it as much as I do.
I can see why so many famous ladies swear by this foundation, it does sound wonderful. A foundation that looks natural and feels light weight on the skin sounds like a perfect foundation to me. I'm a fan of natural looking make up and this especially applies to foundation.
ReplyDeleteI think that people often forget that we shouldn't eliminate basic human traits in our search for perfection. Freckles are adorable and there is no need to hide them. I'm just not a fan of over edited images, or make up looks that make people look like dolls. But I guess we all define 'perfection' in our own way.
I completely agree with you about "perfection" and that term is different for every person. I always avoid "mask or dolls look" and prefer natural looks, which are look like I don't have nothing on face.
DeleteThis foundation is perfect for creating it.
One of my favorite. This is one of two foundation that is a perfection shade...and it wear well.
