Giorgio Armani: As seen in the press, capture the glow of perfect skin with this award-winning foundation. Luminous Silk foundation features an exclusive Micro-fil technology. So weightless, it redefines foundation. Its hydrating fluid glides on seamlessly with a silky texture and all-day, buildable coverage. For all skin types.So here is my review!
Packaging
I love the frosted glass bottle and the beautifully embossed brand name on the cap. The pump isn't as smooth as the Dior foundation pump, but works well. The cap could be a little tighter, in my opinion, because sometimes when I pick it up by its cap, the bottle just falls right out of the cap.
Product
This foundation is pretty watery, one of the most watery foundations I have in my collection, aside from the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.
The colour 3.5 is a great match for my NC20-ish skin. It has a very slight yellow tint to it so it is perfect if you are Asian or have yellow undertones in your skin.
Performance
Though it is light and watery straight out of the bottle, the foundation feels like it gets a little creamy and slightly thicker upon application. I can only assume that it is the Micro-fil technology at work, but what do I know!
My favourite way to apply this foundation is with a buffing foundation brush, because this foundation is already pretty sheer, and finger-application means that the foundation will come out too sheer, or you will have to use way more foundation than you would use if you had applied it with a foundation brush.

The reason why I love this foundation so much is because it gives the skin a subtle glow, and has a beautiful velvety finish. It is also very light, and doesn't feel like you have product caked onto your face. It is the foundation of choice for many a red carpet makeup look, and I can see why! As promised by Giorgio Armani, this foundation does build up well, and can be layered for a more medium coverage.
One thing I insist upon with all my foundations is that they do not sink into pores or fine lines, and that they do not flash back on camera. This foundation surpasses all my expectations! It makes my skin look lovely and smooth.
I definitely highly recommend this foundation for people with decent skin, and who have anywhere between a dry and an oily skin. If you have very oily skin, however, you might want to try a more matte foundation.
The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation retails for AUD 90 at Giorgio Armani Beauty counters.

Amazing review, this foundation sounds fantastic. But I don't think I could justify spending $90 on a foundation alone though. Maybe one day if I feel like splurging haha
Stop by and check out my blog giveaway! :)http://dawndugong.blogspot.com
so natural ! like a BB cream
Wow, I did not realize this foundation is that expensive in Australia. It is an awesome foundation though, I love looking flawless with it in photos. One of my favorites for sure.
Do you have naturally good skin? Because the foundation looks amazing in the photos. Would you compare this to a BB cream? I'm kinda tempted to get one of this!
BB creams in my opinion are a lot thicker than this foundation. This is light and quite watery! I have okay skin but if you have bumpy skin then this might not show as well as it does on mine - I have relatively smooth skin (but I still have acne!) so this looks really luminous and lovely on me.
You will still need a concealer with this though! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help x
It is a very pretty foundation for sure! x
oh wow for AU$90 a pop it had better perform some makeup miracles!! it does look very good on you.. have you managed to find other ones with similar performance but not as highly priced?
my current faves are illamasqua skin base foundation and shu uemura face architect (illuminating).

It is pretty expensive here in Australia, sadly. I have a couple of other foundations that I like just as much - the Chanel Pro Lumiere (sadly discontinued) and the Chanel LIFT Lumiere (formulated for aging skin but it has the most beautiful finish, so I use it anyway). I also do try and get my foundation online, that way it's cheaper (about USD60-ish)
I love what you guys tend to be up too. This kind of clever work and coverage!
Keep up the awesome works guys I've included you guys to our blogroll.
