If you ever want a very honest (and sometimes brutal) opinion, you tend to ask your mum, right? That's why we figured our mums would be the best judges when it came to trying out one of our best-selling foundations - Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk.
This foundation is a popular choice for all ages, including for mother's of the bride, and happens to also be a favourite of celeb makeup artist Patrick Ta, whose clients include Chrissy Teigen, Meghan Markle and Kim Kardashian-West.
To see Hannah, Elle, Shanthi and their mums try out Luminous Silk, watch below:
You may have also spotted a product you haven't seen before - the Luminous Silk Concealer. This is available at Adore Beauty in April (and we know it'll be a huge hit).

What's The Coverage Like?

Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation has light yet buildable coverage, with a velvety satin finish that glides seamlessly across the skin for a very natural-looking, radiant complexion.
It's a makeup artist favourite for more mature skin types because it doesn't settle into fine lines like heavier, more matte foundations tend to do, and it drastically improves the appearance of dullness and uneven skin tone. Plus, it's now available in 40 shades to cater to more skin colours and undertones.
While it's pretty much suitable for everyone, there are some tricks you can use to ensure it's perfectly customised to your skin type.
On oily skins, I recommend prepping with a mattifying primer, powdering the T-zone and using a setting spray like MAKE UP FOR EVER Light Velvet Mist. On dry skin, you want to start with an ultra-hydrated base, so I'd pair this foundation with a rich moisturiser, followed by either the Luminous Silk Primer or Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Foundation Primer. And if you have combination skin, Ella Bache Gommage Delicatyou can customise your primer on different areas of the face, and powder through any oilier areas.

What Does Everyone Else Say About This Foundation?

The Silkiest

Julia
LOVE this foundation! I've been using it for a good few years now and find I just keep coming back to it. It still allows your skin to breathe and look like skin while providing a nice, clean coverage. I also feel as though it isn't bad for my skin in anyway as I have felt with other chemical filled foundations. A bit more on the pricey side but wo...

Amazing Foundation

Stirona
If you don't like that heavy, full on coverage look and are used to cc/bb creams and tinted moisturisers - this is the foundation for you! I love to use this on days where I am going from day-to-night, or for events and nights out. It's got a beautiful natural, satin finish (not too glowy) but you can add extra glow depending on your occasion.

My most used foundation on clients! I love this one.. great for sheer-medium and can be built up to be quite a good coverage. I also mix it in with other foundations. Glowing and fresh finish which is super comfortable on the skin. My favourite shades are 3, 6 (for green based tan), 6.5 (for most other tans), 9 and 12!

Men Skincare

<p dir="ltr"><span>Despite contrary belief, skincare isn&rsquo;t just for women, it's just as necessary for men too. Good skin care habits are important for everyone, at every age - you are after all, stuck with your skin for life! Overall, men and women&rsquo;s skin is quite similar, however, there are enough differences to warrant skincare specifically made for each gender. With men having facial hair, it means that their skin is slightly thicker than women&rsquo;s. From razor burn to fighting the harsh elements, it&rsquo;s important for Men to take good care of their skin to avoid premature ageing. </span></p> <p><span><span><br /></span></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>With a variety of essential, luxe and professional products, we have an abundance of products suited to men&rsquo;s skin. Exfoliation is a particularly important step in a man&rsquo;s skincare range, to help prevent ingrown hairs, and produce a vibrant, even skin tone. Due to men&rsquo;s skin being thicker, it's important to use some intense exfoliating products containing Glycolic Acid, to really break down excess oil, clear pores and remove any dead skin cells. Most men prefer a mattified finish with their skincare, so when it comes to serums and moisturisers, look for products that work to absorb oil and reduce shine. </span></p> <p><span><span><br /></span></span></p> <h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: small;">What ingredients should I look for in a <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/skin-care/cleansers.html?adore_beauty_product_type=8912" target="_blank">Cleanser</a>?</span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you&rsquo;re a guy who likes to sport a beard, or stubble, a face wash that contains AHA&rsquo;s (Alpha-Hydroxy acids) is ideal, as it works to exfoliate dead skin cells, in a comfortable effective way, daily. If you&rsquo;re a guy suffering from breakouts and acne prone skin, you want a cleanser that maintains the natural pH balance of the face whilst also cleansing effectively. Cleansers that contain Salicylic Acid (a BHA) </span><span>exfoliates similarly to an AHA, but salicylic exfoliates within the pores as opposed to on the surface alone. For the guys that have a normal skin type, most cleanser&rsquo;s will work for you, but it's worth finding one that still contains the magic of AHA&rsquo;s and BHA&rsquo;s. As your skin is thicker than a woman&rsquo;s, it is important to get all the help you can get when it comes to balancing and resurfacing your skin. </span></p> <p dir="ltr"><br />Learn more about <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/men/guide" target="_blank">Men's skincare in the Adore Beauty Ultimate Guide.&nbsp;</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span>Buy Now and Pay Later with AfterPay. </span></p> <div><span><br /></span></div>
