I've used foundations from Dior, Saint Laurent, etc., but this one gave me the best skin finish. While it doesn't offer much coverage, it creates a natural, beautiful skin texture that I really adore. It's such a shame that I can't use it regularly because it causes my skin to break out.
ConsI absolutely love everything about this product, but... Although I don't usually get acne, whenever I use this, my entire face breaks out with tiny bumps, almost like folliculitis. I'm so frustrated that my skin doesn't agree with the ingredients. It's heartbreaking that I can't use it!

It leaves a natural glow, similar to wearing sunscreen.
ConsI have combination-dehydrated skin leaning towards dry. I've tried everything from drugstore to high-end foundations, including popular brand lines. My skin is usually resilient, adapting well to most products regardless of skincare. However, after using this for two days, my entire face broke out for the first time ever. It wasn't just blemishes - my whole face became itchy, red, and bumpy, like severe texture. After three days of no makeup and only moisturizer, it calmed down. I've used other Armani products like Lasting Silk and Power Fabric without issues, so I used this without worry. But this... There were no changes in my skincare routine, and my skin improved as soon as I stopped using this, so it's clearly the culprit. The ingredients don't seem particularly harmful, so I'm not sure what the problem is. As a side note, if you've had a similar reaction to Skinfood's Propolis Ampoule in the past (itchy and red), you might want to be cautious with this product.
TipAside from the skin reaction, looking at the makeup itself: It creates a good base. Using a dense cushion puff with setting spray, it does absorb quite a bit of product but gives a natural, glowy finish like you have naturally good skin with sunscreen. I bought shade 1.5 for a brightening effect (like a CC cream). I usually use 23 in summer and 21 in winter, and this matched well. It barely covers redness or blemishes, but it has a blurring effect on pores and blackheads. I applied it over moisturizing skincare and Guerlain L'Or base, using a cushion puff sprayed with MAC Fix+, then set mask-contact areas with Make Up For Ever powder. If you don't like the glow, apply it with your hands or use a dry puff over an oil-control base for a matte finish. Note: When you first open it, product may overflow without squeezing. Before use, turn the tube upside down and tap it to redistribute the contents.
