Pros
After using this product, many people say 'What did you do to your face?' and my skin expression becomes so pretty and smoothly applied that it looks like I naturally have good skin.
Cons
The shade 4 matched my skin tone, but it had severe darkening and I was shocked to see breakouts on my forehead and cheeks after using this. I mainly used it during the summer season, thinking the sweat was the cause, but it seems the foundation was the problem. The blue mesh cushion is a life-saving cushion, but I don't know why the foundation was like that...
Tip
First, use this only on days when your skin condition is excellent, and those with a lot of facial heat should avoid purchasing this. Using this makes small bumps rise up or even turns the entire face upside down, it's a real disaster...

Pros
Even if you vigorously pat and apply with the Armani cushion puff, the subtle glass-like glow that emanates gives the impression of having high-quality skin. Personally, I think the spreadability and skin expression are unparalleled!
Cons
First of all, it tends to be on the darker side, so you need to choose a shade that's about one tone lighter than your own skin tone?? As for the longevity, the foundation melts and disappears as it meets the natural oils of the skin, giving a natural effect ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Rather than a drawback, for those who have a lot to cover, it might be a good idea to pat on an afternoon touch-up cushion or a correcting cushion! . If you choose the wrong shade, your face can become half a tone darker than your neck in the afternoon, making your complexion look poor. . The coverage..!! is medium to light. It can conceal light redness, pores, and acne scars, but not deep scars or freckles!! You definitely need to use a concealer? ㅎㅎ Using a concealer also seems to boost the longevity a bit! . The Armani foundation is generally good for those with skin conditions above average. I use Armani even though my skin is below average, as I can't give up the feel ㅠㅠ
Tip
You can express a beautiful look even with the Armani cushion puff, without necessarily needing a brush

Pros
For skin with a lot of blemishes and acne scars, but with a relatively clear overall tone, this product's excellent spreadability is crucial, more so than coverage. Among the many foundations I've tried, this one has the best spreadability. You can tell why 'silk' is in the name the moment you apply it. I used it for a while, then tried other foundations for a time, but when I picked this one up again, I thought, 'Ah, this is the one.' There's nothing quite like it. In the end, I always come back to this product. If someone with as uneven a skin texture as mine is amazed by the spreadability, people with clearer skin would find it dramatic. Despite having adequate coverage, this product doesn't leave a thick, heavy feeling on the skin. It applies moisturly, then becomes slightly matte upon contact, unlike products like Make Up For Ever that stay dewy even on blemishes. However, the coverage can't be considered high. The longevity is inconsistent - sometimes it barely lasts, with significant darkening, while other times it holds up beautifully for a long time. As a oily-skinned person, I'm not sure if it's the oil, heat, weather, or base makeup that causes this variability, but it's enough to dock a star. Despite this, the benefits greatly outweigh the drawbacks, so I still reach for it, hoping for a long-lasting, flawless application. In conclusion, I strongly recommend this to those with relatively even-toned skin that just needs light coverage for blemishes and texture.
Cons
As I mentioned earlier, this foundation does tend to darken over time. I apply it with a sponge, but my friend who uses a brush says it works well for her. I don't have much skill with using brushes, so I can't pull that off.
Tip
Although it looks dewy, the product becomes slightly matte upon application. So it's best not to squeeze out too much at once and apply it in small amounts, one cheek at a time.

Pros
The mask doesn't rub off at all. Even after wearing it for hours, it doesn't transfer. It's really true that only the lips and blush tend to rub off.... And it applies so naturally. It's not like 'Oh, I'm wearing makeup!' but more like 'This is just my natural skin. My skin texture is already good, and it looks nice even with some blemishes.' Of course, major blemishes are still difficult, but most minor ones seem to be covered. And it doesn't look cakey even with layering.
Cons
No, no, it's not there. If the base isn't strong enough, it might just result in a slight darkening, at best.

Pros
It is expressed very thinly, so I also enjoy using it when doing natural makeup.
Cons
It seems that darkening comes very easily. The price and that point are disappointing.

Pros
As I have combination skin and get very dry in the winter, this product was great - it kept my skin moisturized and gave a beautiful, radiant finish! Even though it has a dewy look, it doesn't break down or get shiny from my skin's oils, but rather looks even better. That's why so many people love this foundation. The shade is also a lovely ivory that brightens my complexion naturally.
Cons
The coverage isn't extremely high, but I actually prefer this more natural level of coverage. If you don't have a lot of blemishes, it should work well, but it may not provide full coverage for the whole face. And since the formula is so hydrating, it can wear off a bit faster. I also noticed a slight darkening effect, so you may want to go a touch lighter with the shade.
Tip
Using a setting powder with this foundation really helped improve the longevity.

Pros
It has a semi-matte finish, but it doesn't look completely matte, which I like. I've been using this product for over 5 years consistently. And the fact that it crumbles is the best part of this product! It crumbles so beautifully^^
Cons
There is a bit of darkening, but I still use this as my holy grail product : )
Tip
It applies better when used with a brush

Pros
The coverage is generally good, with good spreadability (as the formula is quite watery and thin). However, it crumbles/breaks down extremely!! It mixes well with other matte foundations to create a beautiful finish.
Cons
Due to the silicone and alcohol ingredients, it may cause breakouts 😢 Lacks coverage and has darkening.
Tip
Thanks to the beautiful skin expression, I've been mixing it with Double Wear for the past 5 years since high school... Despite the poor ingredients, I can't give it up... And cool-toned folks should definitely get shade 4. Shade 4 is not darker than 2, but 2 has a yellow base while 4 has a pink base. It seems to be around the neutral 21 shade. Even though the coverage is crap, it applies thinly and transparently, making the skin look porcelain-like and beautiful, and it also breaks down beautifully with a glow. This one is so guaranteed that I can't give it up. Mixing it with Double Wear compensates for the poor coverage, creating a synergistic effect.

Pros
It seems that this foundation has excellent coverage, but it's not an extremely matte product. So for those with very oily skin, the longevity might not be as impressive. But in my experience, the longevity has been very satisfactory. 4. Coverage I should have mentioned this earlier, but the coverage is a bit higher than the average dewy foundation. It covers what needs to be covered, but doesn't look cakey. Even with my uneven skin texture, large pores, and blemishes, it manages to cover them nicely without clinging to the dry patches around my nose. It effectively covers redness, and when applied all over the face, it creates an even and perfected look, rather than looking patchy. Even though I love this product, I sometimes find myself gravitating towards other Armani options like the Addiction Skin Care foundation or the Cushion compacts (Luminous Silk Cushion, Tone-Up Cushion) due to their unique finishes. But whenever I take a break from this, I find myself missing it and using it up quickly. The coverage is just right - it doesn't completely conceal all my imperfections, but it creates a smooth, polished look. If you're looking for extremely high coverage, there might be other options, but if you want the signature Armani skin-like finish, I'd highly recommend this. It seems to work well for a wide range of skin types.
Cons
You're right, the price for this foundation has gone up quite a bit. It used to be in the 70,000 won range, but now it's in the 80,000 won range... The higher price point is definitely something to consider. Additionally, as you mentioned, some people may feel that the foundation can darken too much on the skin over time. This is something to keep in mind, especially for those with lighter skin tones who may not want that level of color change. Overall, the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is a high-quality product with great coverage and a beautiful skin-like finish. But the higher price tag and potential darkening effect are factors that potential buyers should weigh carefully before purchasing. As with any foundation, it's best to test it out in person if possible to see how it performs on your individual skin type and tone.
Tip
Personally, I really prefer a skin finish that is velvety with a subtle glow. So my routine is to first have a solid skincare base, then use a sponge to really press the Armani foundation all over for a seamless application. After that, I lightly dust on a bit of powder in targeted areas, just to set it. I find that this method helps the foundation wear beautifully and last the longest on me. The combination of the skin-like texture, light glow, and strategic powder application seems to be the most flattering and long-wearing way for me to use this foundation.
