Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation

Labels:
Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation

What it is: "Giorgio Armani translates his skills in texture and layering into its unique range of cosmetic textiles, a wardrobe for face.
Face fabric is an invisible makeup with a 3D Micro-fil™ technology.
Its unique Micro-fil™ formulations bring lightness and fluidity to makeup, allowing infinite blending and layering to enhance the natural glow of the skin.
A subtle, neutral palette is accented with two shades – porcelain and apricot – to be used alone to create a healthy-looking glow, combined with any of the shades to boost the color, or alone to sculpt or highlight the complexion." (Giorgio Armani)

Price: $45

PROS: I fell in love with Face Fabric the first time I had it on. It's so light and sheer. The consistency is silky soft. Imagine a feather caressing against your skin, this is exactly how soft it feels like. Aside from the soft texture, it not only even out my skin tone but made my skin glow. I have had people asked me what kind of skincare products I've been using lately because they notice that my skin is more even toned and brightened. Another reason why I love this is because I have had it on for literally over 8 hours and my skin seriously looked the same or nearly the same at the end of the day. The best part is, because it's so sheer and soft, I hardly feel that I'm wearing makeup at all.

CONS: It has only SPF12. I like my sunblock/tinted foundation to be at least SPF25. Although, it's ideal for the summer since it's light and soft but the SPF is way too low for a face that's only want to play in the sun :( Summer is almost over though, so my face get to play with softness again. LOL.

Here's my before and after pictures:
Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation Before and After Review


And here is me wearing my favorite foundation at the moment. I gained 5lbs within the last week. Can you tell my face is a little bit swollen? The foundation is a good cover though....or not. LOL

So would I buy again? Definitely. I actually got some of my friends to convert too! I don't recommend buying it online as the shade tend to be a little off. I actually got a shade lighter than what I normally wear and so did some of my friends. Go to the beauty counter and try it on. That way you can touch, feel, and see for yourself if it's suitable for you.


Enjoy LABOR DAY weekend everyone!!!

    Yeah, I can't believe summer went that fast... hehe~ What are you planning to do for the next several months?

  11. 5 lbs? Can't tell! :D

  13. Can I just say that you have absolutely amazing skin? It's perfectly flawless! Oh, how I'd kill for that kind of skin! Anyway, you can get the dry shampoo from Sephora or Oscar Blandi's site or I think some salon's may carry them (obviously they vary).

    BTW, this foundation is driving me crazy! I want to get it soo bad I just don't know if I want to spend $45 for it. But if you say that it was well worth the cost, then probably I should. What are your opinions about the foundation covering post acne scars? or even blemishes?

  16. Expensive! But I am sure it's so worth it!

    I tried the Garnier eye roller for about 2 months, dark circles still exist but the puffiness has gone down a bit....

  20. Good review! I've yet to try GA face makeup, but have been lemming their brushes and foundation for some time.

  21. Once I try it, maybe I'll go back to liquid foundation. Thanks for the review!

  22. you make me really wanna get this foundation! it looks really nice and the squeeze tube makes it look a lot cleaner and easier to use.....sadly I don't have $45 to spend on this ;.;...

    btw, do you have the ingredients list on the box for this product? I can't find the ingredients online and I needa check to see if they have any Sulfur/Sulfate/Sulfosuccinate, anything with the whole sulfur thing going on since I'm really allergic to them. If you can take a picture of the ingredients list and add it on to ur entry right here, i'd appreciate that so much.

    thanks for the review. you look really pretty! and lucky you, you have amazing skin to start with!

  24. I have only have been on this product for two days because of uuuu. So expensive, deeply hurts my pocket but I think it's so worth it. The 1st day I tried it on without any finishing powder, and it lasted on my face the whole day. On the 2nd day, I tried it with my finishing powder which I found out I don't like it as much as the 1st day. I even tried it on my boyfriend, and I can instantly see the transformation on his face. All his pores a skin are covered finely and it feels so silky smooth. LOl. Thanks babe for letting us know such wonderful product, but I will go bankrupt soon if you keep posting new things.
