It's perfect for these days when we need to wear masks. *I'm using shade 4 because shade 2 was too light. I recommend using a lighter concealer separately on areas you want to brighten. *It seems less drying than the Lasting Silk foundation (based on using a sample).
ConsThe coverage isn't great. It won't hide large blemishes. The more I use it, the more blemishes I get.
TipI apply two thin layers.

As summer ended and the changing seasons approached, I found my usual matte foundation feeling dry, so I picked this one up. Even though I'm not typically a fan of overly dewy finishes, I highly recommend this for its perfect balance during seasonal transitions and the cooler months. The subtle glow it gives had people complimenting my complexion. What's more, Giorgio Armani's signature way of fading throughout the day is beautifully graceful, which I absolutely adore.
ConsWhile it adheres well to the skin, its staying power is slightly lacking. With mask-wearing, I noticed it tends to wear off easily around the cheeks. Despite this minor setback, the beautiful complexion it creates makes it hard for me to give up using it.
TipTo enhance its staying power, I apply it with a concealer brush, wait about 10 seconds, then gently pat it in with a damp hydro sponge.

It creates a dewy, glass-skin look that's suitable for all seasons. Even when it starts to fade, it still looks beautiful. This is truly a holy grail foundation!
ConsI didn't experience any blemishes from using this. However, I hope they improve the ingredients a bit in the future.

ConsI heard it was really popular, so I took the plunge and bought it... but I'm just disappointed. I think I had too high expectations. First off, it applies so thinly that it feels unusable without a primer... My pores became way too noticeable, and it didn't seem to adhere well to my skin. The coverage was also mediocre. It's moisturizing, but at the same time, there's this inexplicable matte finish that clings to the skin, making it feel more like it's sitting on top rather than looking natural...

It's the best I've ever used! It adheres perfectly and when applied, it gives your skin a dazzling glow - truly a holy grail foundation!
ConsMaybe it's because I have dry skin, but even with a solid skincare base, it still looks patchy (honestly, this might be my skin's fault). Also, it's quite expensive. I wish the shade was a bit lighter too. I know I have a darker complexion, but I hope they come out with slightly brighter shades.

The wear is decent. The subtle glow is beautiful.
ConsIt's a bit shiny and might break down quickly on oily skin. The coverage isn't great, but it looks natural and doesn't cake up.
TipIf you use it as a base and cover blemishes with concealer, it works just fine.

As time passes, it doesn't darken or break down - it's like it just vanishes! It leaves a natural glow, creating a more matte and clean skin finish than BB creams, making it perfect for daily use when you need a fresh look. Among Armani foundations, this was the easiest to use, with a lightweight, skin-like finish that doesn't emphasize dead skin cells. After trying jar, tube, and other glass bottle versions, thinking Armani wasn't for me, I stumbled upon this and have repurchased Luminous Silk several times. Oddly enough, while using it feels unremarkable, I find myself missing it once it's gone - it's truly a hidden gem foundation. Shade 2 gives a natural tone in summer. In winter, when skin tends to be lighter, mix it with Cat Bondi or Bondi Sway Snow for a brighter look. The 18ml size is especially great for travel, often finding its way into my makeup bag.
ConsI wish the color was a bit lighter. In winter, it's so natural that it's barely noticeable - like something just grazed my face. It's a bit inconvenient, but I have to mix it with other products.
TipRemember to shake well before use.

You might think that since it's Lasting vs. Luminous, it would be too moisturizing with poor staying power. However, Luminous Silk actually goes on slightly matte at first! Instead of fading over time, it develops a beautiful glow! While it doesn't maintain a matte finish, I'd recommend it to those with combination to oily skin who want good staying power but also desire a dewy complexion. It works hard to keep your skin looking fresh all day!
ConsWhile it's my holy grail foundation and I don't have many complaints, if I had to nitpick, I'd say it contains so much silicone that you can feel it when applying. This makes me worry it might clog pores with daily use. However, I have super sensitive skin that usually reacts to most cushions, yet I've used this for over 6 months without any blemishes! One thing to note is that as the glow develops later in the day, the foundation doesn't disappear, but it can be scraped off with a fingernail.

The longevity improves even more if you finish with Urban Decay's setting spray. It has such great staying power that you don't need to touch up much. As time passes, the color develops a beautiful glow and enhances your complexion.
ConsI'm not sure if it's due to this foundation, but I keep getting blemishes on my forehead. As others have mentioned, this seems suitable only for those who use it for a day or those whose skin agrees with it. When applied alone, the coverage is really minimal. I mixed it with Kill Cover foundation, which improved both the color and overall effect. It's also quite expensive, and my heart aches every time I use it. While it has many good qualities, the constant breakouts are making me look for a different foundation.
TipI recommend mixing it with a high-coverage foundation rather than using it alone.

It applies like silk! My face has a beautiful glow. While the coverage isn't great, it makes my skin look good. Even after hours, it doesn't settle into the eye area. I have oily skin and tend to rest my face on my hand, but even without touch-ups, only my nose shows some whiteheads up close. Overall, the tone correction effect lasts about six hours.
ConsAs time passes, it emphasizes dead skin cells I didn't even know I had. I've never seen a foundation that clumps like this in certain areas. It doesn't cover pigmented blemish marks. It's a bit drying, not as much as Estée Lauder, but just typical foundation dryness. While it doesn't settle into wrinkles, fine lines are visible up close. You'd be better off using a cheaper option with better ingredients and coverage! Fortunately, it doesn't cause pustules, but my mouth area felt a bit tingly midway (it didn't last long). It seems to bring out small bumps.
TipWhen I first applied it with a beauty blender, it looked so pretty! I applied it with my hands on the other side, but after an hour it's clumping everywhere. The clumping seems severe - don't apply it with your hands!
