I am a fan of any make up that gives me a natural finish. However a tinted moisturiser is too minimal for me and some foundations I consider to be far too heavy. The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk was a lovely middle ground and for that reason it has become my holy grail of foundations. I cannot survive without one of these in my cupboard. Another reason I know this product is absolutely brilliant is because I am the fussiest human being alive and, usually, I cannot get on with a foundation for longer than a month. I've now been using this product for nearly 2 years and I am still absolutely in love with it.
Reason number one, it's got a beautiful finish. I'm not keen on the ultra matt finish, I like a soft focus glow but at the same time I don't want to be a disco ball. This leaves you with a beautiful natural finish without being too obvious. It has the 'no make up' effect that everyone should really be aiming for. You want to look naturally flawless, not like you've applied your foundation with a trowel.
Secondly. It's so long lasting. I work part time as a waitress and some of my shifts can be 10 hours from morning till evening and invariably my foundation has barely budged by the end of my shift. This to me, is usually unheard of. I also finish the day with a nice glow, my skin never looks tired or dull when i'm wearing this.
I personally love to apply this with a beauty blender or my fingers. I don't tend to get on using this with a foundation brush as I find it can be a tad streaky and it's one of those foundations you're better off working into the skin a bit more. I love the pump because its stops me from wasting excessive amounts. I find one pump is actually plenty for a daytime look. For this reason not only does it last on my face but it also lasts in my make up bag, I have to buy one bottle every four months.
Now onto it's little buddy, the Giorgio Armani high precision concealer. I'm going to be quite brief with this part, I love this concealer for the following reasons;
-It's the only one i've found to be fantastic for concealing both blemishes and bags.
-It's radiant without highlighting your blemishes to a fault.
-It's brilliant at it's job, concealing, without being heavy or dry.
-It's application brush is fantastic for detail and it avoids being wasteful.

This is another absolute must have for me and together these two products make an absolute match made in heaven. If you're looking for a flawless canvas without looking like you're wearing 5 layers of product, these are an absolute must have for you.
