Armani beauty luminous silk foundation in shade 5.5 plus#
She has dry skin now as she goes through normal aging and peri-menopausal hormonal changes plus rosacea.

So it emphasized the faint hairs I have on my inner forear m which I can’t even feel or see in normal light. If you look closely at the comparison swatches below, you’ll see you can see my very fine peach fuzz forearm hairs more in the Maestro Glow swatch, you don ‘t notice it as much in the other two. I did notice it settled a bit into my fine lines and pores on my cheeks. Overall, the new Maestro Glow is good f or dry skin that only needs sheer coverage. Even though all three look different on my arm they work for me once sheered out and applied on my face. The Maestro Glow is lighter than Luminous Silk 5.5. I notice it lightens up a tad when you start to rub it in, so don’t freak when you first drop it onto your skin. It’s darker and more golden/warm than the regular Maestro foundation. Per Nordstrom: “Shade 5.5: medium skin with neutral undertones”.
I grabbed the same shade I wear in the regular Maestro foundation, 5.5. And with this oily foundation that would be a disaster. Honestly, I think sunscreen in foundation is a joke anyway, you have to apply more foundation than you need coverage wise to get that SPF coverage level.
There is double the sunscreen in this version as well, SPF 30 versus SPF 15 in the regular Maestro. I took this with me a few weeks ago from Texas to M ontana, on my normal to dry winter skin it was much better in M ontana than here at home in Texas where I felt like a grease ball with it. I would also think about the climate you live in, here in humid Texas might not be the best choice for you, but in dry Montana it can be nice in the winter even on normal skin. I’m not even sure it’s really for normal skin, dry skin definitely. After testing this I would stay away from it if you have oily or even combination skin, it will be too much for you. They both can built up more in areas where it’s needed without adding the extra oil like this new Maestro Glow. Luminous Silk is the next most hydrating and both Luminous Silk and the original Maestro have a similar medium coverage level. There is better coverage with Luminous Silk than the Maestro Glow.Ĭomparing all three: Maestro Original, Maestro Glow and Luminous Silk, the Maestro Glow is the sheerest of the bunch and the most greasy feeling. I say this because I find Luminous Silk hydrating and slightly greasy compared to a lot of foundations. The Maestro Glow is more dewy, hydrating and feels greasier, the Luminous Silk actually felt like a normal foundation in comparison. I tested th e Maestro Glow on half my face and the other half with Luminous Silk. If you try to go above l ight coverage it gets greasier.
The glow comes more from the hydrating oils aspect but there is a faint very fine shimmer to it. I didn’t really notice the shimmer particles in the Ma estro Glow foundation, either on my face or when swatched. The oils in this one stay around unlik e the original. It feels oily on application and stays pretty dewy. It’s also really moisturizing and borderline greasy. It has a similar light weight texture but it’s sheerer in coverage, it’s light coverage. You need to shake this well before applying like the original. Compared to the original Maestro foundation this has the same dropper style glass bottle, it has a shimmery overspray versus the matte finish of the regular Maestro bottle.
