Luminous Silk Powder: the first finishing powder to combine the luminosity of a liquid foundation ...Luminous Silk Powder: the first finishing powder to combine the luminosity of a liquid foundation with the clean application and nomadic practicality of a compact. Backed by 10 years of research, with Luminous Silk Powder, Giorgio Armani Beauty reveals two groundbreaking patent technologies. Available in 8 shades, Luminous Silk Powder contains a high-performance color fusion emulsion with advanced pigments that maintain a skin-matching veil, which stays true no matter how many touch-ups you make throughout the day. With Luminous Silk Powder, the time-short woman of today can carry the practicality of a powder, yet achieve the luminosity of a liquid. Now, you can have the best of both worlds. Floating weightlessly onto the skin like a cloud, the secret to its brilliance lies in Giorgio Armani beauty Laboratories' new patent: the water memory formulation process. During formulation, water within the powder evaporates, leaving a powder texture behind. Upon contact with the natural moisture found within the skin, the process is reversed: the powder transforms into a veil-like liquid that becomes one with the skin, avoiding harsh lines, smears or caking over time. A second patent allows a soft weightless powder – so thin it appears invisible. It's you - but better. It's your Armani nude. “For an ultra-natural Armani glow, prepare your skin with Luminous Silk Primer. Apply then the illuminating concealer Luminous Silk Concealer, followed by Luminous Silk Powder to perfect your skin. Add a touch of Fluid Sheer where your complexion needs to be brightened up.” Linda Cantello, Giorgio Armani International Make-Up Artist.
This guide is for anyone seeking a flawless, luminous complexion with the convenience of a powder. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Powder combines the benefits of a liquid foundation with the ease of a compact, providing a natural, radiant finish that lasts all day. However, it's worth noting that the perfect shade match is key to achieving the desired effect.
