How about after a day of wear?īy the end of a full day of wearing the foundation, I found that Luminous Silk still looks pretty great. You’ll definitely want a separate concealer to hand if, like me at the time of writing, you happen to be contending with the mother of all spots. Despite its medium coverage, for the most part, skin looks flawless, but in a healthy and radiant kind of way rather than ultra smooth and matte because of a heavier base. Once applied, the best way that I can describe Luminous Silk’s look on the skin is like a freshly opened, untouched pack of butter – completely smooth, slightly matte, slightly sheeny. I found that two pumps were more than enough to get good coverage. The coverage is medium and buildable – Meghan Markle famously said that she liked that it allowed her freckles to peek through – and it has a skin-like finish, which is worth bearing in mind if you prefer something very heavy duty and matte (if so, our Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation review may be of interest) Its consistency also stretches quite far, so it’s possible to apply a very small amount for everyday wear and build up when you need more coverage, say, for a special occasion. The foundation comes in a broad range of 40 different shades, which are slightly flexible at this time of year my pale skin is at its palest, and my best shade match was 1.5, though I’ve previously worn shades 2 and 2.5 during the summer. This aligns it with skincare-skewed bases such as the best serum foundations in terms of glow and also means it doesn’t feel at all heavy on the skin. What makes Armani’s Luminous Silk formula so unique is its patented micro-fil technology, which enables the pigments to sit perfectly on the skin and help the foundation strike that all-important balance between healthy luminosity and the mattifying powers of setting powder. The formula also contains glycerin, but very dry skin types might find that they need a base with more moisturizing ingredients. “The list was then short-listed by the Vogue team to capture the all-round landscape of the industry across a range of price points.”ĭespite costing just $13, the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser was chosen as the People’s Choice for Best Facial Cleanser.Despite having “luminous” in the name and a hint of dewiness to the finish, this foundation is actually both oil-free and non-comedogenic (the technical term for ingredients that won’t clog pores), making it a contender as one of the best foundations for oily skin that isn’t super matte. “The products were selected by our Beauty Editor Remy Rippon after years of testing and writing about the best in Australian beauty,” Francesca Wallace, digital director at Vogue Australia, tells. HOW DID VOGUE CHOOSE THE SHORTLISTED PRODUCTS? There are two awards per category, a winner chosen by a panel of experts, which included Melanie Grant, Dr Shyamalar Gunatheesan, Anthony Nader and Kellie Stratton, as well as the People’s Choice winner voted by Vogue readers. Earlier this year, Vogue launched the Vogue Beauty Awards to find the very best products on the market and we finally have the answers. In times like these, we turn to the experts.Īnd who better than the team at Vogue Australia. With hundreds of products on the market, it’s hard to know which ones are worth the money and which ones are simply not. When it comes to beauty products, finding the right one these days can be a bit of a mission.
