Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Powder (2)

I bought this to polish and touch up my nails! It's great as it doesn't dry out.

It's more compact than I expected, making it easy to carry around. The powder feels hard, and even when I rubbed it with a brush, I wondered at first if it was on my face or not. However, once I applied it to my face, it gave off a subtle color. I prefer makeup that gives off a smooth, radiant glow rather than something that hides blemishes, so I liked how it felt to use.

I've been using this product since before the renewal. I tend to get shiny easily, so I prefer semi-matte foundation, but as I get older, if it's too matte, it makes me look dull and older. That's why I add a little shine to my semi-matte foundation with this powder. It has a subtle shine, so it doesn't look too shiny and doesn't look unnatural even when applied to the whole face. It doesn't settle in wrinkles, and it's very easy to use, so I keep buying it. However, since the renewal, there are fewer bright colors, and they recently stopped selling refills only, so I've deducted a few stars from my rating.

As a warm-toned spring skin tone, I tend to choose neutral shades one tone lighter than my standard shade, regardless of the brand. When I buy foundation, the most important things I consider are the shine and color. I strive for a color that doesn't dull in the evening, isn't too white even when applied, and is a color that lifts my spirits when I first see it. Therefore, I generally don't touch up the product and then buy it on the spot. I wanted to check the color at the counter in the Hankyu Umeda store, but I didn't get along with the beauty advisor who helped me, so I went home without doing anything. I took a gamble and purchased the lightest shade, #3, from Suzykirei shopping. I used it in the morning with Shiseido Essence Glow Foundation 130. It gave me a healthy-looking complexion and a captivating glow. I don't usually mind my makeup smudging, but by the afternoon, it felt like the foundation had disappeared from my skin. Perhaps this was because my skin was darker than usual... I had the impression of a radiant, bare-faced look. ② In the morning, I applied Shiseido Essence Glow Foundation 130 and Dior Concealer 0.5N to the triangle under my eyes, followed by this product. My skin remained firm until the evening, and although I felt a slight dryness, it didn't affect my appearance, and I received compliments on my skin. I also tried several foundations that I didn't use often because I didn't like the color or feel of them, but this product has a luminous color even from a distance. ③ Used for touch-ups: For my skin, the best use for touch-ups was using it for touch-ups. A quick swipe with the included brush restores firm, supple skin. If it came in lighter shades, I'd definitely buy it in different colors. I plan to buy another one to carry around with me. I highly recommend it to people of my generation.

I think some people have said it's shiny or glossy, but for me it's a slightly higher-level product. It has a soft, fluffy veil, not dry or brittle, but rather moist. It applied best when I applied it alternately with CHANEL powder foundation. I think it's a good product for people with dry skin.
