  Pros

  For skin tones lighter than shade 17, it might be a bit dark, but it's a beautiful ivory color without any redness, so I'd recommend it for fair olive complexions! The application is rich yet smooth, and it offers good coverage among Armani foundations. It creates a moisturized skin with a luxurious glow. The signature Armani foundation scent is also wonderful!

  Cons

  It tends to apply thickly. I wish there was a brighter shade with a yellow base. The jar packaging is a bit concerning in terms of hygiene. The price is quite steep.

  Tip

  Due to its rich texture, it can apply a bit thick, so for the most beautiful skin finish, it's best to apply thin layers rather than trying to cover everything at once. Since it comes in a jar, it's more convenient and hygienic to transfer a small amount to a separate container for use.

  Pros

  I have dry skin with minimal oil production, but it's not excessively dry. My skin tone is a yellow-based 21, and pink-based foundations look completely off on me, so I prefer light yellow-based ones. Shade 2 has a light yellow undertone. It does darken slightly when exposed to air, but it's generally a bit brighter than the typical 21 shade. It applies with a slightly sheer finish, which I find nice. The texture is a rich cream. It works well with a flat brush, pore brush, or puff, but I prefer to spread it thinly with a brush and then gently pat it in with a dry puff for better adherence. Applying with fingers isn't bad, but if you apply it too thickly, it can look a bit cakey and uneven. For best results, apply a thin layer, press it in with a puff, and then add a bit more to highlight areas, finishing with a puff. This gives a beautiful effect, as if you naturally have good skin with a subtle glow. In winter, I tried using a damp puff, but the coverage was too sheer and it didn't adhere as well. The staying power and coverage are average, but it seems to fade naturally. It's similar to Futurist in its transparent and moisturizing qualities, but the adherence is slightly less. I liked that the yellow-based shade was brighter. I'd recommend this as a foundation for dry skin.

  Cons

  I bought this for nearly 100,000 won even at duty-free. And the ingredients list is quite concerning. After using Lasting Silk, I had a terrible breakout, but I didn't realize and used almost all of it, leaving me with a lot of acne scars. At least this product didn't cause any blemishes. Due to the price and ingredient concerns, I probably won't repurchase, but I like it enough to use up the remaining 1/5 diligently.

  Tip

  Using a long metal spatula made application convenient. It was easy to use when I scooped some onto the back of my hand and then applied a thin layer on my face with the spatula.
