The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is renowned for its ability to create a naturally perfected complexion. For optimal performance, begin with a well-moisturized and primed face. This foundation excels when applied in thin layers, allowing its luminous quality to shine through without looking heavy.
Fingers: For a sheer, skin-like finish, warm a small amount of foundation between your fingertips and gently pat onto the face, blending outwards.
Brush: Use a flat foundation brush or a buffing brush for a more polished, medium coverage. Apply in sweeping or circular motions, working from the center of the face outwards.
Damp Beauty Sponge: For a diffused, airbrushed look with buildable coverage, bounce a damp sponge over the skin, pressing the product in.
Natural Everyday: Apply a single, thin layer using fingers or a damp sponge.
Enhanced Radiance: Mix a drop of liquid highlighter with your foundation before applying.
Targeted Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, dab a small amount of foundation specifically on those spots and blend with a tapping motion.
Remember that a little goes a long way with this formula; start with a small amount and build as needed. It sets to a beautiful, skin-like finish that moves with your expressions, ensuring a comfortable wear all day.
Simply uncap the bottle and use the pump dispenser. For first-time use, you may need to prime the pump by pressing it a few times until the product dispenses.
Primers: This foundation pairs well with a variety of primers, from hydrating to mattifying, depending on your skin type and desired finish. For enhanced luminosity, opt for a radiant primer.
Setting Powders: While it offers a natural radiant finish, you can set it with a translucent or complexion-matching powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness, to extend wear and control shine.
Concealers: Works harmoniously with cream or liquid concealers applied before or after the foundation, depending on your preferred technique.
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Hygiene: Avoid direct contact of the pump with your skin or other applicators to maintain product integrity. Clean the pump nozzle occasionally with a tissue.
Shelf Life: Once opened, makeup products typically have a Period After Opening (PAO) indicated by a small jar symbol with a number and 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months). Adhere to this guideline for best quality and hygiene.
