Securing a spot in makeup artists’ kits worldwide, beloved by social media stars and counting celebrity fans including Kim Kardashian and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation has undoubtedly earned its icon status.
Hiromi Ueda, Armani Beauty’s global makeup artist, even says it ‘blends like a dream and enhances natural beauty perfectly, without masking it. The foundation’s luminous, skin-like finish and versatility have made it a must-have in every kit.’
In 2025, it celebrated its 25th anniversary, but for 2026, even better news has been announced. This multi-award-winning foundation has reformulated its radiant-finish, lightweight, blemish-blurring formula.
