It's the first product that left me feeling disappointed... The pros are its nice ivory tone, hydrating feel, and the glow it gives.
ConsTo be honest, I don't like the color from the start. Compared to Power Fabric in shade 1.5, it looks much lighter, but when applied, it's not significantly brighter - just a slight difference between pink and yellow undertones. I'm cool-toned and usually use pink-based foundations, but I occasionally use yellow-based ones for a brighter look. However, this lacks that brightening effect. I'm sure it works well for some people, but their color numbering system is completely confusing to me. It slightly emphasizes pores and breaks down more noticeably than any other Armani foundation I've tried. While it's not terrible, considering it's Armani and the price point, it's disappointing. I've also sampled the Designer Lift before they added the blue line, and this new one is worse. Why even bother with a reformulation if it's not an improvement? If the newly reformulated Designer Glow is similar, my expectations are really dropping.

Honestly, Giorgio Armani outshines other department store foundations. It's no wonder they're known as the go-to for base makeup. You'll always find Armani in makeup artists' kits! What's more, there's no darkening even after hours of wear. I rarely touch up, but as time passes, it melds with my natural oils to create an absolutely stunning glow... it's mind-blowing!
ConsThe ingredients are a bit... disappointing. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I don't remove my makeup completely before bed. While I'm not sure about other products, Armani in particular seems to cause little bumps to appear on my skin...
TipUsing a spatula to apply a thin layer works great

After application, it gives your skin a beautiful glow. It adheres well to the skin, feels incredibly lightweight, and the ivory shade enhances your complexion, making your skin look truly radiant. As time passes, it develops a dewy finish without looking messy, which I appreciate. It's an excellent foundation for achieving a hydrated skin look.
ConsThe only downside is that the coverage isn't particularly high, which is a bit disappointing.
TipFor best results, apply a thin layer using a spatula, then use a damp beauty sponge (squeeze out excess water) to pat and blend. This method helps achieve a more hydrated look with better adherence to the skin.

As expected from a high-end department store foundation, it delivers solid performance. It's a safe choice that doesn't tend to polarize opinions.
ConsAs someone who's used about three bottles of Lasting Silk, I bought this because many YouTubers raved about it being more hydrating and having better coverage. However... while Lasting Silk can be used on its own, this one can't be used alone due to its coverage. Those YouTubers who said it had better coverage than Lasting Silk - what were they thinking? Also, it's a minor thing, but I don't like how the foundation sticks to the glass bottle walls, making it hard to see how much is left. With Double Wear, you can clearly see the content decreasing with each pump.
TipI found it works quite well when mixed with the Ink Lasting foundation in shade V103.

I've tried almost every high-end department store foundation brand out there. I couldn't find a foundation as satisfying as Giorgio Armani, so I had been using Lasting Silk exclusively. This time, I tried this one for the first time, and as expected, Giorgio Armani doesn't disappoint! This brand is the only one that makes my complexion look sophisticated and pretty, and even when it fades, it still looks beautiful. I'm using it with great satisfaction.
ConsI'm so satisfied that there's hardly anything to complain about... But if I had to find something, maybe it could feel a bit heavy in summer? There's slight pilling only when my skin condition isn't good, but that's my skin's issue. I don't really see any drawbacks with this product.

I've tried many foundations and cushions, but I always come back to this one... It applies incredibly thin and adheres so well, giving your skin a truly luxurious finish. The beautiful glow it imparts looks especially stunning in natural light. On days when I use this for my base makeup, everyone asks what I'm using because my skin looks so beautiful. And above all... the way it wears off is superb. There's practically no darkening, and while other foundations might crack and break down unattractively, the Armani foundation just allows a bit of natural oils to come through without any cracking or patchiness. Even after 8 hours, my skin still looks the same, just with a bit of shine. It's expensive, but I think it's worth every penny. It's a foundation that proves there's value in sacrificing coverage for a beautiful finish.
ConsAs others have mentioned, the coverage is minimal. You'll need to use concealer for dark acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
TipUsing a spatula + Picasso puff really helps it adhere well. Spread a thin layer with the spatula, then pat with the Picasso puff, and you're done. I highly recommend this combination!! The Armani foundation already applies thinly, but using a spatula makes it adhere even better. If you lightly dust some powder on top, it barely transfers to your mask all day long.

My skin has some pores and texture, but this foundation applies so thinly and naturally while making my skin texture look amazing. It gives a truly healthy glow. It applies lightly and thinly, so there's almost no buildup around the nose, and my skin feels incredibly comfortable after application. As expected, Armani knows foundation... - It works well with any tool. Whether I use a wedge puff, air puff, hands, or brush, the skin finish is beautiful. No matter what I use, it makes my skin look smooth and flawless. It doesn't set too quickly and is quite hydrating, so it's forgiving even if I apply it carelessly while half-asleep. - It's not drying and feels moisturizing. I have combination dehydrated skin with very dry cheeks, but this makes my cheeks feel so comfortable. I think it would work well for those with dry skin! - Like all Armani foundations, when this one wears off, it doesn't break down messily but beautifully melts into the skin! My T-zone is oily and my cheeks are dry, so with hydrating foundations, my nose often breaks down unattractively while only my cheeks wear off nicely. But with this, both my nose and cheeks wear off beautifully. On my nose, it wears off without emphasizing pores or looking patchy, and on my cheeks, it doesn't separate or emphasize dead skin cells, even where my mask touches. Products that cling to pores and look patchy often cake up when you try to touch up, but because this wears off so nicely, touch-ups are smooth and seamless.
Cons- As it's a hydrating foundation, it does transfer to masks easily and oil comes through quickly. When I apply it in the morning and check around lunchtime, my T-zone is definitely more shiny than when I use matte foundations. I took off one star for this... It definitely feels less long-lasting on oily areas like the T-zone and butterfly zone. I don't recommend it for those with oily skin. - You should consider it as having low coverage. It absolutely doesn't cover blemishes. It's closer to just refining skin texture, and you'll need to use concealer separately to cover any spots. But honestly, I didn't mind this much because the skin finish is so beautiful... - Oddly, the color feels a bit dark...? Compared to the lightest shade of the To Go Cushion, this is definitely darker. I usually use shades 19-21, but when I turn my head after applying this, I can see that my jaw looks a bit darker than my neck. Even though it's the lightest shade, it's not that light, so I think it might be difficult for those with very fair skin to use.

ConsThe downside is the high price point, and when I first used it, I experienced a lot of small bumps appearing on my skin.

The ivory-like shade is incredibly beautiful.
ConsWhile it's nicely hydrating, the staying power is a bit disappointing. However, it's easy to reapply, so that's not a big issue.

Great foundation for dry skin types - Compared to other foundations, it definitely has less cracking and creates a beautiful glow after application. 2. Wide range of shades - I'm a warm tone and usually use shades 17-21. I initially bought shade 1.75, but it was too dark for me. Shade 1 is slightly lighter, giving a more radiant look. 3. Staying power - While the staying power isn't exceptional, it wears off gracefully. Over time, it doesn't clump or darken, but rather allows a bit of natural oil to come through.
Cons1. Price - It's really expensive... Small amount for a high price. The biggest drawback that makes you hesitate when purchasing. 2. Coverage - To be honest, the coverage isn't great. It's not that there's no coverage at all, but don't expect high coverage. It's more of a product that makes people with already good skin look like they have amazing skin.
