Armani's "Designer" Wonder...

Giorgio Armani 'Designer' Shaping Cream Foundation SPF 20
Every now and then I find a product that delivers based on the reviews and exceeds my expectations overall! And let me tell you, that takes a lot, but I now join one of the many cult followers to Giorgio Armani's makeup.  There have been great raves to his foundation so aptly called 'Designer' Shaping Cream Foundation and it is unreal in a good way.  When I originally read that it "shapes and comforts" and by the way would also make my skin "radiant", I thought "Right," but it truly does. When you put it on it feels more like a luxurious cream partly due to it being made with modeling silk fibers which firm and contour skin.  It also provides sculpting oils which they say "replenish and smooth skin with elegant, weightless coverage." And boy does it! My skin absolutely glowed when I put this on and it plumped it in all the right places.  I don't have strong lines just yet in my skin, but I do have the beginnings of crow's feet and slight laugh lines.  This foundation really blends nicely without settling into these areas.   It feels weightless but really goes on with a medium coverage which I love.  It also layers well over my skin tone which has some pinkish tones that are stronger in some areas of my face.  I wear #4 which is the lightest shade.  And the bonus as if it even needed one - SPF 20!

This is one of three Armani foundations (others are Luminous and Lasting Silk). But I have to say that I would not venture to try the other two when my skin feels and looks so great from this one! Any other great reviews on Armani makeup, please share!

Cheers...
