This foundation truly lives up to the hype

I’m not a big foundation person, and I generally only wear it when I have a meeting, event or go out on a Saturday night (which doesn’t add up to all that often). I’m perfectly happy with my Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder, but truth be told, I’m thinking I may need something with a bit more coverage when my bottle comes to an end.

Even if you’re not really that into makeup, you’ve probably heard about Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation. The winner of countless beauty awards and lauded by virtually every celebrity and professional makeup artist under the sun—I never tried it until I got a sample with my most recent Sephora order.

None of the four shades I received was a perfect match (although 5.5 was pretty close), but I’m here to tell you that it blew my mind anyway. Yes, everything you’ve heard is true. It melds seamlessly with your skin to leave a smooth, soft, naturally radiant finish—and it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.

And since Fall is the perfect time to update your foundation (because you’re bound to be a bit more fair due to less sun exposure), don’t even bother shopping around and go straight for this one. Who knows… It just might be your forever foundation, too.
