Armani Luminous Silk Basis – New System

Armani lately reformulated their cult traditional Luminous Silk Basis ($69, Nordstrom and Sephora). As a longtime fan of the unique I’ve to confess I used to be in a panic over the information and bought a number of backups simply in case the brand new one ended up being utterly completely different. After practically a month of testing I’m completely happy to report the brand new model is simply pretty much as good as the unique and my shade match 6.5 continues to be the identical.

Armani added extra shades within the lineup and altered the formulation to incorporate niacinamide. The 2 formulation are nearly equivalent on my pores and skin. You’ll be able to see a demo of the brand new formulation in motion right here with the Hourglass Vanish Basis Brush. In my expertise there’s a slight distinction within the protection with the brand new one being simply the slightest bit thinner and a bit sheerer, however the variations are barely detectable. A couple of of you observed from my video although that the brand new one appears to have rather less pigment.

Protection continues to be the identical medium naturally glowy end. I like that it glows however isn’t too emollient/dewy. It evens out the pores and skin properly in a pure wanting manner. Protection continues to be pure so your pores and skin does present by and I’ve a number of darkish spots (therapeutic pimples scars) that also present by beneath on my chin space. This may be fastened with concealer (I like Natasha Denona’s Hy-Glam Concealer for one of the best protection with a creamy formulation). I at all times set with a powder and recently I’ve been loving the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Unfastened Powder Shade 30 or Laura Mercier Translucent Unfastened (love this in a number of shades, the Rose Talc-Free Extremely Blur Model can also be good too).

Many of the shades appear to be the identical however there are a handful which have modified. They’ve a useful shade chart to point out which shades are completely different and the brand new beneficial match (Shades 1.5, 4.25, 4.75, 7.5, 7.75 and eight are completely different now).

Total actually love. It’s actually just like the Chanel Les Beiges Wholesome Glow Basis (I put on BD41), however the Armani has a lighter really feel in texture and end. I feel it’s additionally rather less emollient than the Victoria Beckham Magnificence Basis Drops (I’ve Shades 7 and eight).

You’ll find this out now at Nordstrom, Sephora, Bloomingdale’s and all Armani Magnificence counters.
