HotandFlashy You're beautiful!
You would think/hope if you're spending that amount of money on foundation it would/better be phenomenal! I get shakey if I have to spend over $30! I'm going through so much being in menopause... skin changes too so I'm still looking for my perfect foundation. I love your videos.
Thanks.... Tessy😊
That is SO TRUE! I feel like I have to buy three foundations because of my skin changing! Sometimes I'm so dry that every brush stroke kicks up flakes. Other days I'm so shiny I'm applying powder every four hours.
cminmd0041 I'm so oily I don't like putting moisterizer on before I put makeup on. I'm wearing powder foundation right now. I can't wait til this nightmare is over lol!
HotandFlashy Hi Angie, I hate the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation! It is so drying on my skin and looks terrible on me. It's too late to take it back to Sephora no came with out a lid! I was hoping the other one would work! I'm sticking to the Dior Hydra Life and the It Cosmetics Cc cream. I cant find a foundation I like yet! Thanks Angie for reviewing!❤❤❤
Thanks so much Nikki! I will certainly check it out. I can't even use primers anymore and if I could get away with it I wouldn't use any face makeup. It's very frustrating! Thanks again for your help 😊
I have dry skin - I’m 49 and love this silk foundation - It’s perfect. My skin is clear and the silk foundation works well with or without primer and lasts all day long without a powder. Great coverage and doesn’t crease. The powder version does crease more than the first but has more coverage. I prefer the silk (first version) you can’t feel it on your skin and it isn’t shiny on my skin either. No powder needed.
I love it too.
Angie, you are a great researcher and that coupled with your experience makes me LOVE your videos. You are a clear speaker, not pitchy, not hyper, very professional and you are direct and get to the point. Your videos are so well structured and well organized, you are incredibly easy to follow and your recommendations carry weight girl! I can tell you are a well seasoned beauty expert! I had the same color match problems with ALS. Try shade 3.5 it is perfect, don't let the lower number deceive you. It's for light to medium skin tones.
This is my absolute favorite foundation ever. At 58 years young I have used almost everything out there and love your foundation videos. The power fabric foundation, if used in the right shade, looks like skin! If you used to light of shade, it looks more like make up. I have figured this out the hard way and now that I’m wearing a shade darker than I would normally wear I have gotten so many more compliments on my skin when I wear this foundation!
You may use too much skin care products prior to using foundation, thus having problems with the foundation application.
I'm very surprised about the result of The Luminous Silk on your skin, because on mine it was awesome. And lasted for whole day. My skin was totally flawless
I'm also very surprised, my new HG is Power Fabric and I just assumed she'd rave about it too!
I am shocked. I bought the Power Fabric 2 days ago and absolutely love it. It applied well, held all day and my skin looked great. I applied it over the Guerlain d'Or. I agree that it isn't high, high coverage, but I prefer to that to a super-heavy face. Bonus: because of the wide range of colors, for once I swatch at something other than the very, very lightest.
edit .... the clerk at Sephora was clear that the foundation shouldn't be used with a silicone-based primer.
I'm so happy you like it and it works for you! Just to clarify about the primers, both of these are silicone + water based foundations so they should work with silicone + water based primers... I tried 3 different primers... 1 worked, 2 didn't...
I liked the power fabric too. The shade I bought online was way off though.
I used the YSL blur primer and also a beauty blender to apply and I was very pleased. Another day I used the angel veil primer. These both played well. The bottom line is that makeup is subjective. When you have to work hard to make something work for you ( at any price point) then its not for you! Thanks for doing this review Angie. As usual, you go the extra mile. Have a great weekend.
I don't like Giorgio Armani because it has alcohol (and not the good kind) and parabens and fragrance. Just not healthy ingredients for your skin.
I've been wearing luminous silk for years and love it. Sorry Chanel is not for me. Makes me look old. I guess everyone's skin is different and the proof is in the crazy shine you got. It has never done that or looked anything like that on me. It also is absolutely not drying.
I have to remember not to use what works for you because clearly you have very different skin than me.
Angie, you have so many subscribers and quite successful on youtube and still so honest.
Thank you so much for being the best and reliable source.
Have you ever tried by terry lumi serum. Would love to hear your opinion on it😘
PLS no hate! Why is it that every single foundation review video I have watched from you, there’s always the same result on your skin? Could it be the skin care regime you’re doing? I always watch your videos as it was so detailed and informative. I love both of these foundations! Luminous silk is my holy grail for years. Sad it didn't work out for your skin.
I love luminous silk too. I think she needs something that will work on top of many layers of skincare and a lot of sunscreen. Few will perform on top of all of that. That’s probably why she likes double wear . I also like dw when I need something to stay put but overall it feels very heavy.
@@brandydavine4194 Totally agree….way too much skin care in the am….leave all that for night time.
I second that. I swear I love her videos but every foundation people rave about her skin seems to find something off about it. Geez and I am on my way to purchase this
Possibly the retinol she uses dries her skin out so nearly every medium to full coverage foundation will sit on it. Maybe needs to exfoliate before.
With this foundation you don’t need a primer. Thinking maybe had a issue with this company.
I really appreciate your videos; informative, fun, and honest. This has to be an enormous amount of work and time.... I learn so much, thank you!
Thank you for saving me $70!!! A long time ago I had received a trial size Luminous silk and it wore on my above average combo 29 year old skin like a horrid mess. I tried it out at least 5 times and because of all the great reviews on UA-cam and false claims...I thought I was crazy and needed to try this again. The other day after seeing a review the power fabric I was going to order it online. After investigating a little more I bought my good old Mat Velvet+ by Make Up For Ever. After watching your video I'm even happier I only spent $39 and do not have keep wasting my money on luxury foundations that get a lot of false hype. Your reviews are my favorite and you have helped me soMuch & my mom is in her 60s and her skin is amazing because of skincare and you helped teach me how to help her. She is aging backwards. I am too! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a sample of this (Armani Luminous Silk) and am loving it. Looks super natural and glowy but not greasy.
I'm so glad to have someone to watch that is truly honest about products that they try. You are my absolute favorite when it comes to products to trust and look forward to all your videos!!!! Thank you for all your time and work!!!!!
you have probably saved me 1000s on trying new foundations! since I have discovered you i am shopping much better informed! thank you!
So sorry this did not work for you. I have dry skin (inherited from my dad) and I love the Luminous Silk Foundation and Powder. I use it with a light dusting of the Luminous Silk Powder and my skin looks great. Did not accentuate texture nor were my pores highlighted. I went out dancing and I couldn't believe how great my face looked when I got home. Totally amazing. I don't personally wear makeup every day. But, instead maybe once a month and I prefer light to medium just to allow for my hyperpigmentation to be covered. This is pretty much an exact match to my face and had lasting power through sweat while dancing. I actually thought I was seeing things so I took a picture with and without flash after my night out. Skin looked awesome. Goes to show how products may work differently on each person.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into these reviews. All the makeup trials and all the videoing (is that a word?), plus all the editing, side by sides, camera clicking sounds, I can't imagine how many hours go into a 15 minute video. I feel like I should be paying you!
This just goes to show how different we all are. What may not work for some, works for others. I absolutely love the Power Fabric. My skin type is combination with fine lines, sun damage, deep acne pits, pores the size of holes, and acne ice pick scars. I get near full coverage that is even with a smooth flawless look, without texture. I have used the Power Fabric with several different primers (UD Optical Illusion, MUF Skin Equalizer Primer, POREfessional, Tart Timeless Smoothing Primer & Becca Backlight Filter Primer) and it plays well with all. I do not use sunscreen. My application method is different than Angie's. I apply the foundation heavy, by dotting heavy globs of it around using my fingers. Then I take the stipple brush and stipple it around and into the holes and pits. After that, I pounce the beauty blender all over to even it out. I never drag or rub. I set it with Kevin Aucoin powder and WoooLah! I look stunning! It lasts all through out my work day and I never get shiny nor dry.
Nay Nay P
I buy luminous silk in shades 3 and shade 6 and mix to get my perfect shade. No primers. Im 43 and always come back to this foundation. Love it on my skin.
Watching cosmetic reviews is a source of enjoyment for me but I've come to realize that they are kind of pointless when it comes to choosing products for oneself. If I had watched this video a few months ago I probably would have never purchased the power fabric foundation based on this review and that would have been a shame because for me it's a fantastic foundation. I had none of the problems that the reviewer had. It absolutely provided full coverage, didn't settle into lines, break apart or become shiny. It gave me a beautiful long lasting finish. I'm only commenting because I see lots of comments along the lines of "thank you for this review, now I know not to waste my money on these foundations". Hopefully people who make their purchasing based on you tube reviews at least make sure they have the very same skin type as the reviewer.
Thank you. I got the Chanel velvet because Angie loves it so much and my skin has never, ever looked that bad. I could not for the life of me get it to look good even immediately after applying. And I'm combo. So I'm super keen on trying luminous silk. I'm still going to take Angie's advice - but just do the opposite. Still a win in my book :D
agree! I have dry skin and the Power Fabric looks flawless on me. Velvet matte, no settling into lines (and at 47 I have plenty!), and my skin just looks smooth and lovely
So weird...I bought the Luminous Silk and it was quickly HG for me. My skin is dry to combo, and it stayed on beautifully for at least 12 hours with minimal shine breaking through at the end. i was amazed! I guess, Angie, that our skin is far different. Plus I do not wear a sunscreen underneath.
Truth be told, I don't worry about it. I work indoors every day and I am not aging hideously due to lack of a daily sunscreen. (Don't shoot me Angie...I truly love and respect you!) When out in the yard working, it is SPF 50 all the way.
I really liked the Luminous Silk. It worked well for what I need. But hey we are all different. My holy grail is the Sephora brand teint foundation. It is he best I have ever used.
I definitely agree with you on both of the foundations reviewed. The luminous silk is just ok, not justifying the price tag at all. I seriously hated the power fabric, tried so hard to make it work but it simply didn't do it for me. FYI, I'm 36 with combo dry skin and the power fabric really made my skin look so much worse than not having any foundation on. It was by far the most difficult foundation I've tried and not quite sure what the hype is all about. Thanks again for another great foundation review.
I am 50 with combo oily skin and have found the exact same results with a sample I got of the power fabric over 3 days use, it was a shocker- I agree it was totally opposite of how I hoped it would perform, way shinier than the silk, bread up, and clings to my 2 dry patches on my cheeks. I am currently loving the synchro although I have to mix 2 shades and I also love the Kevyn Aucoin etherealist for special occasions because the lasting time is less than the synchro but it gives a beautiful glowy finish that looks like skin. It really makes me look younger. The chanel is nice but does not cover my redness as well as the synchro. Your reviews are amazing!! They are helpful in weeding out the duds!
It is so hard finding a perfect shade and a perfect foundation. I have tried so many in the past 6 . months I tried so many high end and the only one that went on really nice and didn't make my pores stand out was Clarins. I have I think almost every drugstore foundation. some I am happy with but because of my makeup addiction that is out of control 😃😃😃😃I just keep trying new ones .
I love how you are so honest about the product...regardless of the name brand. Thank you!
Thank you for your foundation fridays! I'm turning 40 in September and I'm finding that even just within this last year, my skin has changed and foundation sits so differently only my face. My issue is that I have REALLY dry, sensitive skin so everything settles into those fine lines around the eyes..lovely!
Can you tolerate this with sensitive skin? Because it contains irritating perfume :/
Angie, thank you so much for all you do! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your in depth trials and your honesty - so refreshing. You are a true treasure.
Interesting the Luminous Silk is one of my fav foundations. I find it applies really well with just fingers. I did have issues with colour matching possibly because the very pushy sales person keeps giving me stuff that is too dark I don't enjoy that Chanel one, find that way too drying on my skin.
So sad you didn't like theses...I do suggest everyone gets samples and can test out in their own skin...skincare, other products etc definitely cause different wear for all foundations...power fabric is one of my all time faves and the luminous silk is my go to foundation to use on clients with mature skin and I haven't seen any of these issues. 😞 And my HG is definitely the Synchro Skin and I did a half face wear test with it and the Power Fabric and they performed almost identical.
Loved your video on this foundation Mandy!
Mandy Davis MUA I agree. I am 65 and use both of theses. I get beautiful results from both, and it wears beautifully. But that's why we love Angie for trying so many products. Get samples and find your Holy Grail foundation. You will feel like a million bucks!
this one turned colors on my face ; is that the primer I was using? the setting spray?
Mandy Davis MUA just watched this. I personally love the Power foundation! I'm not sure this was a good video because it's a fabulous foundation!!!
Same! My sample was excellent and I ordered a full bottle. I’m 50 and it looked fine. I did use sunscreen and Tatcha primer with YSL setting powder and it stayed 14 hours, no touch ups. I got some shine but I walked 5 miles (I’m a nursing student in preceptorship). Usually my blush fades but it stayed the whole day. Makeup is so personal. It’s crazy when it’s so off the mark for other people!
I love how diligent you are with your time checks on these products, just amazing. I also love your honesty, you have inspired me immensely...Thank you
so confused. i think she looks amazing in this video!! maybe it's her other makeup but she looks even more gorgeous than in her usual videos. so id keep wearing this foundation!!
Just a thought Angie, could the problems you have with foundations have to do with your skin care regimen? Is that perhaps why they break up like they do?
spottedbutt definitely, i feel if you have an intense skincare routine using retin a and different treatments liquid foundations will not work as well not matter what kind it is. I know this because of my own experience aswell. So take reviews with a grain of salt
Also, because she uses anti aging products her skin is constantly regenerating and turning over thats why foundation will break up or just look bad. Especially if its a reoccurring issue with other foundations. So it's natural that the foundation will break apart.
Totally agree!!!
spottedbutt totally agree! Luminous Silk, on my 53 yo skin, is my holy grail.
Vustah-exactly. My skin is a bit different to Angie's but I too use retina a and other anti-ageing products and this is why I never wear foundation anymore at 49 years old. NONE of them look good on me at the end of the day's wear (I've tried tons) so I stick to tinted moisturisers instead only on my nose and chin where I have some redness and leave the rest bare skin during the day, or with the amazing Bare Minerals primer on for going out at night. No makeup to settle into my wrinkles or pores, no texture, no drying, no product breaking up, and shine I just blot off instead of using powder. Job done.
Hi girls... I have normal to a little dry skin (use retin a etc as well ) I am 47 (this month)with wrinkles and fine lines...I just bight the shiseido synchro skin and it is amazing. I love it cosmetics cc and Natasha Denona glow and la mer...synchro was the nicest on my skin to date ! have a great weekend
I love this foundation. But I know we all have different skin types :-). I don't have textured skin so that may be why I didn't have issues. For me this foundation works best with a brush. I wish the Chanel worked for me. I got a sample to try it and after several tries it wasn't for my skin. It settled in every fine line and pore that I have making my skin look worse.
some of these beauty products that youtubers rave about really seem to enjoy the "emperor's new clothes" effect: 'i should love it because everyone else raves about it' BS. youtubers actually say in videos they feel "bad" and fear being "controversial" if they say they do not like a product that everyone else seems to love. so stupid. I'm so glad you tell it like it is
jcjccmz I agree but it also goes the other way. Just because it isn't for one persons skin doesn't mean it's not worthy. With Armani foundations you really don't need to use so much primer or it will look like it did on Angie. With high end products less is always more. I have never had any of these things happen to me but when I tried Double wear it did. You can use these reviews as a guide but should still get a sample for yourself.
Interesting, I have had a totally different experience. I love Luminous Silk and it looks lovely.
Hi! Can I ask what your skin type is? I have normal to Slightly dry skin, I don’t have noticeable pores but I do have fine lines & beginning of some wrinkles (not too bad yet). I’ve been trying different foundations & I’ve been So tempted many times to buy the Luminous Silk. I almost always base what I buy on real person reviews. The best I’ve found thus far & have been using the past 6 months is Wander Beauty Nude Illusion. I do really like this foundation, it has a nice satin finish, but as the day nears end I find it’s starting to dry a bit & coverage isn’t lasting as long as I would hope. I know Angie had an Oily T-Zone which I do not so I’m still just not sure if I should give this one a try or not. I’d love to hear what you think about this foundation. Please share 😊
@@lindawells5576 I have ridiculously dry skin. I wish you could get a tester of it so you could try it before you buy. I find that foundations just act so differently on different skin.
I have been using the Armani Luminous Silk and like it but I have dry aging skin and it works for me. I use Tatcha Vitamin C serum and the Tatcha Age cream. I sometimes wear a primer but not all the time. It seems to work for me but everyone is differet. I have very fair skintone and wear the lightest tone.
It just goes to show that not every foundation works for everybody! We are the same age and I value everything that you tell us! I have found the luminous silk does not work for me but the power of fabric turns out flawless on my skin. I always said it with bareMinerals and I use number 7 and it is perfection. I’ve used it with a beauty blender and with a brush… Artiste brush which I think applies foundation just beautifully. I find that with any brush application it always needs to be pressed in with a damp beauty blender no matter what foundation I’m wearing. I would love to see you try the Neutrogena foundation with the 25 sunscreen in it. I’ve been hearing great things about this and you can get it for about $11 and a celebrity compared it to Armani and Dior!
Angie I love how thorough and thoughtful your reviews are!
All I cam say is thank you. Seriously. Because most beauty gurus think watching them apply makeup is a review. You get down to the meat of the info women our age want to know. I personally cannot afford a luxury foundation or justify the price since I rarely wear makeup but always searching and ready to buy " the one ". You have over the course of a year to convince me to try your holy grails. Wish me luck!
Be sure to get samples to try before you buy so you get the best color match and to make sure you like it! xo ~angie
Wow! I got an E.L.F. stick foundation on clearance at Target for $1.97 that looks and wears better than either of those! Thanks for saving me 60-120 bucks! I was planning on getting one or both!!! Maybe I'll get the Chanel!
I really appreciate your reviews on foundation as well as other products. Please don't stop, it's very helpful.
We must have very similar skins because everything that works on you, works on me too. So thanks for taking the bullet on these for me. I was so curious about the Powder Fabric. Another fantastic installment of FF! Keep up the great work Angie!
Could you test the wet and wild photo focus foundation x
Samantha Graham it's good..reminds me of all nighter without oxidation
I just bought it for $3 from rite aid! It's on sale and I had a $1 coupon. Can't wait to try it! Hearing great things!
"Any normal person, that would have be the end of the testing..." Well, speaking for myself, I am so glad you AREN'T NORMAL!!!! That's why we subscribe! : ) The most fun I had was the after normal person part and the side by side. Oh and the PRO column pause...priceless. Thanks so much for saving me time, money and frustration as I really had high hopes for the fabric one. Oh, I have to tell you I did share in your frustration, at the moment. But because you did all the work, my frustration ended after the video! Thanks again for your work and YOUR time! ; ) You are the most valuable tool I have in my makeup bag!
There goes yet another mark against Armani makeup products. Although I didn't lay out the horrendous price for it myself this time, I'm sorry you did, only to find it to be a "holy bail," having to bail out of a bad situation becoming worse. I just cannot find a happy place for any Armani makeup, and I have tried many. I was obliged to try it and continue for friendship's sake, and I feel I cannot return any for that same reason. But, I won't be doing it anymore. The truth, delivered kindly, must out. Thank you so much, Angie, for your diligent labor for us! ❤
Angie, I heard the Maybelline Better Skin foundation is great for mature skin. Can you please review this drugstore alternative?
I really love the Luminous Silk! Bummer you didn’t love it, too. I always tend to love a luminous foundation that has a perfect color match, and this did.
Luminous silk foundation needs to be applied with BK beauty 101 or BK beauty 109 brush. These 2 brushes are the best ones on the market to make your foundation look super smooth. Professional brushes are 100x better than beauty blenders or cheaper brushes Thank you for your time to make your video. 🙂
you have the BEST comparison videos!!!! Thank you for all your hard work. Really great job
Love your reviews! It’s great to see a UA-cam who actually shows how the foundation looks up close. Gives a much better idea of what the foundation will look like! 👍
Also I agree with you on the fact you have to use a lot of it to get it just right making it even more of a splurge. Very true! When I ran out of it I was so surprised as I didn't use it that much I thought
I have never had this experience. Been wearing for years.
These foundations didnt work because of your skin and skincare routine. If you had the same issues with both foundations. The power fabric wasn't matte because your skin is luminous from your skincare routine. If anyone is using treatments on the skin you will have a hard time with foundation breaking apart its natural. I wish you would have mentioned that. Not many foundations will reduce texture if your skin is overturning from skincare. Skincare doesnt stop working once you apply foundation thats why both looked the same, created the same issues etc.
VUSTAH I agree, I see same issue with her on other foundations she didn't like, I love the Luminous silk and Drugstore Maybelline cushion which I never like drugstore due to having mature skin
this is incredible, a detailed and the most helpful video, I am blown away. taking your time so wisely and do such an upclose images and really give the most honest and real review is incredible. lots of love from your new subscriber!
I am so glad you did this test and had the same experience I do. I thought it was just me but now I know it isn't. It's an expensive foundation for no better than it performs. I can now justify pitching it. I had trouble with a color match too. I have very fair normal/combo aging skin with fine lines and pores.
Hi Angie, love your reviews. Is it possible that your skin care products are not moisturizing your skin well enough? I've noticed in other videos that flaking is an issue with your skin. Just a thought. Have a great day.
I couldn't agree more! I've tried both of these Armani foundations and they both looked horrid on me! Thanks for the great reviews Angie! You should try the new Wet n Wild photo focus foundation. Im shocked by how much I love it and its only $6!
Hi Angie, I've given up on finding a holy grail foundation. I'm done spending my money for products that never do what they say they''ll do. I just go with Boscia bb cream and go. It isn't the best look but it works. I wish I would have stayed out of the sun when I was younger. I killed my skin. Oh well. xoxo Tracy
Random but I really appreciate how you haven't over-botoxed yourself. Your results are so natural looking and your inner eyebrows don't droop way down , it's a pet peeve of mine, when beautiful women over-Botox BC what they don't know is the loss in muscle tone eventually can actually make aging look worse. Better to be as minimal as possible and maintain natural mobility and elevation and space UNDER the brows for a more natural look. I LOVE YOUR FACE! Lol 😂😜💕💕✨
Have to say it- I love Tati glam life guru but it's sad to me she's overbotoxed for my taste :P I had to come to you BC I started to watch a vid of hers and it was bugging me too much
You are so incredibly thorough! It is SUCH a breath of fresh air. LOVE it!
Hey Angie, have you done a review on the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost foundation yet? I have been using it, I really like it, I would love to see your opinion of it.😃
OMG! I was just about to buy the luminous silk foundation. Thanks so much for this review. As always, you are so professional and helpful, dear Angie. THAAAANKS!!
Great video. My daughter swears by these Armani foundations but she's in her 30's. They give her a flawless complexion. 30's skin is so wasted on 30 year olds.
I really love how detailed your videos are. You explain so well. I also love your calm voice. I'm 50 plus and I'm having a difficult time finding my perfect foundations as I'm aging. I hate this getting older. Lol! I'm currently using the Le Nudes Chanel and the Hourglass mat. I have many others and just can't find a holy grail. What a job searching. Glad I didn't order those. I have thought about it. Thanks for this video, xo. 💄👄
You are my go to before buying any product! Thank you for being honest-
I had to get 5.0 too very light but some bronzer made it ok. I bought this on many mature gals request. I liked it but I don't think I will repurchase. I'm still looking for my holy grail. So far the Smashbox 15 hr is my favorite in warmer months.
As always I look to you for your honest review on products. I look forward to any video you do . Appreciate you so much
I really appreciate your reviews! I was considering the Power Fabric but have changed my mind. I'm 49 years old so your reviews really matter to me! Thanks for a thorough review!
Another Awesome Review!!! Thank you!!
Thank you Angie! I have always heard such great things about this foundation and I have tried samples three times at Sephora. I always have to mix two together to get a match and then I'm disappointed in the coverage. Glad I'm not the only one who can't get it to work. Thanks for trying all the foundations for us.
Your reviews are always so helpful. The pictures really do help so thank you!
I'm I the only one who think these look great on your skin? :)
Your foundation videos are so helpful. They have saved me so much money. Thank you!
Great video, you masochistic Goldilocks! As always making me chuckle through the whole thing, 😊 thank you.
Omg....I have both of these and I just love them. That just shows how we all have different skin for sure...but, I still want to try your holy grail...it will be my next foundation to buy...thanks so much for the tutorial...I love your Friday foundation video. Much love and blessings my friend...xoxo
I just added Luminous Silk to my rotation. I have dry skin. The shade 4 is perfect for my winter skin, but I’m getting 3.5 to add some depth for the summer. I absolutely LOVE the look and the feel. I’m now thinking of adding the new Neo Nude tinted moisturizer as well.
I'm SO HAPPY I found you!! Thanks for all the information, education, editing, time, etc... You have given me hope for my sun damaged skin. 🤗
Wow! Thanks for the detailed review. One of the most useful
reviews that I've watched.
Yay, someone who feels the same as me. I don't like either of these either. I have mature, oily combination skin and everyone kept raving about the new power fabric saying how long wearing it was. Definitely not on me. I end up a terrible oily mess. I like the Chanel you recommended and purchased because you like it but it doesn't have enough coverage for all my pigmentation. I have just discovered the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation. It is by far the best long wear foundation I have found without looking cakey. (both Marc Jacobs Remarcable and Estee Lauder Double wear look awful on me). Thank you so much for your reviews.
I had the exact same wear experience with the Luminous Silk and everyone said it was soooo great! Ugh, thanks for this because I was considering trying the Power Fabric. Having seen this, now I don't feel the need to waste my time or effort. Thanks Angie! Maybe next foundation Friday you could do Lancome Teint Idole? Love your channel!
Your reviews are always so thorough and informative! thanks so much for going the extra mile for all of us!!
I appreciate how thorough and detailed you are with your reviews!
As usual maam, you are too good in research.. perfect. thanks for helping us. actually i did purchase your fav of all time foundation already when i saw your video for the first time . and it is absolutely nice. thanks.
looking stunning as always, thanks for videos, i keep going back to
Lancome teint miracle just love it xx
thank you for all your research and time to help us "up theres"...love watching you being REAL
I had heard so, so many good things about the Luminous silk and wanted to try it. Only one place to get in my country 🇳🇴 and so happy that I didn't buy but only got samples last week. I tried the Luminous Silk in 5,5 and the Designer Lift in 5,5 (colors do not correspond by the way, which is super annoying). I have the same experience as you. No matter what I have paired the application with it never really looked good. Settled massively into wrinkles and lines. They both made my skin look older. So dissapointed about Armani that I will not even venture into the Power Fabric. I agree with you that it "can" look good briefly on a good day ha, ha.
Who knows why, I just got the Silk one and I thought it went on best when applied with fingers! Lol, I wonder why? I will try it other ways. My skin is dry and I used the bobbi brown vitamin primer. I wonder why it performs differently? I love it on my skin, I am actually surprised it looked as good as the hype. Happy for now! I Enjoy all your beautiful videos. God bless.
Another very informative video! I have been considering purchasing the power fabric, so thank you for doing this video.
Well, that's another $64.00 you have saved me! Your reviews are the most comprehensive I have ever seen. I appreciate all your hard work in listing products, check-ins, etc. Great job! I am still down to the EL Double Wear and the Chanel Lumiere.
your videos are always so helpful! love that u provided the time info
Thanks Angie, these videos are great. Very helpful to find the right foundation for my ageing skin.
fyi...I used luminous silk when it first came out with the Armani Master primer and they wore beautifully together. I lost my foundation in a cross country move but the primer is holy grail.
You have no idea how much I appreciate your reviews and that you do not just fall for the hype. I am older than you but my skin is similar. I was surprised that you choose the Shiseido over the Smashbox 15 hr. foundation that you tested previously.
Cheers!
I agree, texture!! I purchased 2 of the luminous in different colors and gave them away.
Great video...I love how honest you are! Thanks Angie!
I totally agree---the holy grails for me are the Chanel and Shiseido and for me the IT CC cream coming in 3rd place. Thank you for the foundation Friday reviews--you have saved me money and that is always a good thing!
Thanks Angie , I saved tons of money by following your reviews to not waster on things not worth buying.
You are the Queen of thorough reviews!!🙌🏼👸🏼
I am so glad I viewed this before my purchase! Thanks again!!
Suggestion, I often have to mix two shades to get it right. Try mixing the shades together before you apply it. Thanks for sharing.
