What is the *New* Luminous Silk Foundation?Fast FactsKey Ingredient: niacinamideShades: 44Coverage: medium but buildableFinish: naturalSizes: 0.6 oz, 1 ozPrice: $48 – $69
If there’s one takeaway from recent beauty trends, it’s that luminous skin reigns supreme. Whether it’s soft glams à la the Nina Park effect or no-makeup makeup courtesy of the problematic clean girl aesthetic, natural-looking, glowy skin shows no sign of letting up. So it’s no surprise the brand made one of its glowiest products more radiant.
Now dubbed the Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation (previously Perfect Glow), the buzzy product’s main difference comes down to the inclusion of niacinamide (aka vitamin B3). Per the brand, this new skincare-fueled formula is “clinically proven to even skin tone, refine texture, and boost luminosity after 14 days.” It also touts 24 hour wear and hydration, plus a wider shade range with 18 additional shades, designed to better match a range of undertones and complexions. Not to mention, it’s now non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. But loyal Luminous Silk fans, don’t fret. The product still delivers long-wear, a blurring effect and buildable medium coverage.
How I Tested the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation
I’ve been using the foundation for the past few weeks, swapping the original for the new. For application, I followed the brand’s recommended brush method for a more airbrushed finish; however, if you prefer a dewier, glass skin-like finish, the brand recommends using a sponge. While testing, I focused on how it played with other products in my routine, how it wore throughout the day and how much glow it delivered. Here’s my review.
