Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Foundation Just Got An Upgrade

Loved among beauty lovers, make-up artists, and "it" girls alike, the Maison welcomes a new-and-improved formula.

Twenty-five is often considered the age of transformation—both inside and out. This year, Armani Beauty marks the same milestone with the 25th anniversary of its Luminous Silk Foundation. A pillar of radiance in the beauty world, the formula has remained a favourite for its signature lit-from-within glow. “Beloved by artists and beauty lovers alike, Luminous Silk Foundation 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," says Hiromi Ueda, Armani Beauty's Global Make-Up Artist.

And while some might argue to stick to what works—or as the famous adage goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it— Armani Beauty has decided to level up its foundation formula by infusing it with skincare, with a special technology that not only helps your make-up last up to 24 hours, but improves your skin over time.

At the heart of this reformulation is a proprietary Liquid Silk Technology that allows the foundation to scatter light as it refracts through the skin. The results? A silky smooth, skin-flattering yet long-lasting medium coverage that feels absolutely weightless, blending seamlessly for an undetectable luminosity.

In addition, it is infused with a custom blend of skin-loving ingredients, such as niacinamide, glycerin, and Mediterranean floral extracts. Together, they offer 24-hour hydration and improve tone, firmness, and texture. Not to mention, it now comes in a whopping 44 shades (previously it only offered 26). Paired with the Luminous Silk Illuminating Primer—which contains its own blend of plumping skincare ingredients—and you've got yourself red carpet-worthy skin.

With The Housemaid star and Armani Beauty global ambassador Sydney Sweeney at the forefront, Armani Beauty's superstar product remains a household staple that's equally loved by iconic actresses of our time. Among the famous visages who have used Luminous Silk as part of their looks include Bridgerton's Hannah Dodd (who wears it both on camera as Francesca Bridgerton and on the red carpet), House of the Dragon's Olivia Cooke, Elle Fanning, and Armani Beauty ambassadors Sadie Sink and Cate Blanchett—who were among the lineup of celebrities who graced the Venice Film Festival red carpet last year wearing this icon.

With a wider shade range and new-but-still-just-as-good formula, the Luminous Silk Foundation shows us just how good turning 25 can be.

The Luminous Silk Foundation is available at Armani Beauty boutiques as well as Armani Beauty counters in TANGS and Isetan Scotts.
