  • What’s up everybody!

  • Welcome back.

  • Hi there, how's it going?

  • Welcome back to my motherfucking channel.

  • Today we're going to be diving into a crazy luxurious foundation

  • and it is from one of my favorite brands, Armani.

  • Now, let's rewind, let's just rewind for a second here,

  • because 2016 I don't know how many times I used this foundation.

  • Now, this is the Tried and True,

  • Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.

  • Now, this one, oh my God,

  • this one is like,

  • it's one of those moments where when you're in an interview

  • and people ask you like,

  • "If you were on a desert island,

  • what five beauty items can you not live without?"

  • Girl, this is one of them.

  • For some reason, the Luminous Silk made your skin glowy

  • but full coverage and it was almost like plastic

  • which is something I'm into.

  • So, we're going to put this down

  • and get on to what we're really here for.

  • So, Armani Beauty has really been killing it lately.

  • I know not everyone uses them because they are a little more luxurious,

  • but I have been using their setting spray

  • for a few videos now.

  • I really like this one, this is the Armani Prima Setting Spray.

  • And then of course, I think in a bunch of videos last year

  • I used the Luminous Silk Compact

  • which is the powder foundation to that other foundation.

  • So, I get an alert the other day on my email and it's like,

  • Armani, brand new foundation, it's full coverage.

  • And you know me, I'm like,

  • "Full coverage! What? Did someone call me?"

  • So, I log in and here's what we see.

  • Bam!

  • First of all, the name kind of threw me off

  • because it's a little weird.

  • Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation.

  • And I'm like, Power Fabric,

  • that is such a weird name.

  • But the name also hooked me in 'cause it was so weird I was like, hmm.

  • Now of course, since this is a full coverage foundation I was like,

  • oh my God, I gotta try this out immediately!

  • So, as you all know,

  • when you're buying shades online

  • it is very hard to find your color

  • when you obviously have never tried

  • even the formula before.

  • Because let's say, this,

  • let me see, I get asked all the time,

  • "What is your shade in the Luminous Silk?"

  • I am shade number 2.

  • Had to make sure.

  • Now, two in this brand,

  • which I have in my hand right here,

  • may not match the two from the other formula.

  • I mean, this one looks a little darker.

  • You see what I'm saying here?

  • So it's like, how do you really know?

  • So, I bought three of these

  • because you guys know I'm not trying

  • to get played and have some crazy ass skin color.

  • So, I bought three of these today.

  • We have shades 2, 3.5 and then 1.

  • We're obviously going to try these all out right now

  • and see which one is going to match me.

  • But I do want to dive in and talk about the product.

  • Now, the Luminous Silk Foundation, it's pricey

  • and let me just tell you right now,

  • the Power Fabric, it's just as pricey.

  • So, logging in on their website,

  • this is a $64 foundation.

  • It says that this is actually best applied with a blending brush.

  • Mmm.

  • Now you all know,

  • I've been using my beauty blender for just about anything,

  • but today I think we're gonna have to whip out a foundation brush

  • to buff and see if this thing really works.

  • Because if the brand says it should be with a brush,

  • well, we're just going to have to try it with a brush.

  • Now, this foundation has SPF 25 in it.

  • Yes, you all know I'm an anti-ageing hoe.

  • Now, it says that Armani developed a breakthrough

  • second skin fluid foundation.

  • Allegedly, this has the highest percentage of

  • pigments and a supple and elastic texture providing a velvety, luminous, impeccable long-lasting result.

  • No caking... okay, that's a big claim.

  • And no settling on fine lines.

  • Face perfection that looks natural.

  • Sign me up, girl, whoo work.

  • You know what's crazy, that I hate,

  • when a product has SPF in it and it says,

  • let me just read this verbatim.

  • It says, reapply every two hours.

  • Who the fuck has time for that?

  • You think two hours later into the day

  • I'm going to pause and stop in traffic and reapply my whole damned face?

  • I can't, but hey,

  • if you really want sunscreen to work,

  • I guess after two hours the shits don't work anymore.

  • Now, I'm really excited to try this

  • so I think I'm just going to dive right into it.

  • I think it's only fair though that I prime the skin

  • because I would never apply this normally on my bare skin.

  • So, we're going to go in with a primer

  • that you all know I've used a million times.

  • The Guerlain Pure Gold Radiance, of course,

  • one of my tried and true.

  • I grabbed my, of course, favorite little brush

  • that I always apply my primers with

  • and we're just gonna go in.

  • Now, it will leave some gold flakes on your skin.

  • Keep them in there, they dissolve and I'm down for that.

  • Of course, we had to hit the neck a little bit,

  • and voila, bam, alright.

  • So, it says to apply this with a brush

  • so I grabbed this new angled foundation brush

  • from Kevin Aucoin, one of my favorite beauty brands.

  • Now, let's get these clips,

  • let's pin this hair back

  • and let this face shine.

  • Alright guys, I guess

  • we are about to color match,

  • so let me unbox shade 1.

  • I mean, on camera, in the monitor,

  • it don't look that bad,

  • but it looks very stark white in person.

  • And then number 2,

  • which is my match in the other foundation

  • looks a little yellow in the bottle but it's also deceiving

  • 'cause it is frosted glass.

  • And then, of course, we have the third one

  • which is 3.5 and this looks very summertime, like hmm.

  • So, I guess there's only one way to find out,

  • I'm gonna take all three.

  • I'm just gonna take this and put a little bit on my finger.

  • This is number 1 and I'm just gonna match it

  • down here with just a dot.

  • Oh yeah, that is like really, really fair.

  • Like, girl, I don't think so.

  • Okay, number 2 is close.

  • It's a little yellow though.

  • And then 3.5, there is no way this is gonna match,

  • you guys, there's no way.

  • Oh my God, they're all so different,

  • like, I am tripping out.

  • I honestly think the 3.5, is that crazy?

  • I was almost scared, you guys, like,

  • it may be a little bronzy but it really

  • matches my skin tone I think the best.

  • Okay. I should have done this

  • before the primer but it's okay

  • 'cause we can fix it.

  • I'm just gonna take a little make-up wipe

  • and wipe these off of course.

  • And now, because my extra ass is so crazy

  • I like to take tissue or a paper towel,

  • you guys, and wipe off the residue

  • of the make-up wipe.

  • Because obviously if you're gonna put

  • make-up on over that,

  • the shit ain't gonna work.

  • Yes, alright.

  • Let's give this baby a whirl.

  • I'm making sure it's the right color... yes, 3.5.

  • I'm just gonna take some on this brush.

  • Don't play me girl.

  • Okay, now it's full coverage,

  • so I'm just gonna start there

  • and if you've been watching me for a while

  • you know I like to do it all

  • over the face before blending.

  • This smells just like the Luminous Silk.

  • It has like its own Armani smell, like,

  • I don't even know really how to explain it

  • except it smells foundationy, a little skincarey,

  • it has this weird undertone of something

  • and I kinda live for it.

  • Okay, so before I do anymore

  • I think I'm just gonna blend this out

  • and if we wanna add more, we'll add more.

  • Let's get to it.

  • We are done buffing and blending,

  • let me put this down.

  • Ooh, I feel like I was holding my breath for a minute.

  • Now, I'm looking in the viewfinder.

  • Ooh, see right there, it has like a little luminosity

  • which did exactly say that in this little booklet.

  • It does look a little luminous so

  • obviously,I have nothing on my face but primer

  • and as I'm moving you can see

  • the skin does have a little bit of like ooh,

  • a little bit of shine to it.

  • I know the word shine is kind of scary

  • because if you're oily you wanna run from that,

  • but it just gives your skin little... ah

  • So, if you are oily,

  • you probably would not like this right off the bat

  • because it does give you an extra glow.

  • Alright, so my first impressions are...

  • Now, it's not a full, full coverage

  • as I thought.

  • Like, this said high full coverage,

  • it definitely covered all of the discoloration

  • that I have on my face in these problem areas.

  • If you've ever seen a 4K video of mine,

  • girl, you know that it's real.

  • Now, it definitely covered my discoloration on the eyelids.

  • Got the forehead really nice.

  • It feels good too.

  • It feels really lightweight which I think is really important

  • 'cause some foundations that are full coverage or anything like this,

  • you can almost like feel it.

  • Like your face is like, girl, fuck.

  • But this one's really lightweight which is nice.

  • Alright, we're going to to in a little bit more with this.

  • Hi there.

  • I already put a lot in right there

  • so we're gonna avoid that area.

  • Bam, bam, bam, okay cool.

  • Let's buff this out and see what happens.

  • Okay, this is what I'm talking about,

  • I really like the coverage now.

  • I just feel like that second layer was maybe

  • what I personally like,

  • so if you're someone that likes your discoloration covered

  • and you don't need a caked face,

  • one layer is honestly great.

  • I do wanna apply some make-up on

  • and then come back and talk about it.

  • And then, you know, come back later in the day.

  • So, I'll be right back.

  • Alright, now on camera a lot of the times

  • when you use something after the foundation,

  • like let's say your concealer,

  • it might not really go with this formula.

  • So, on camera I'm going to apply my concealer and powder

  • and then we will see what the hell is going on with the face.

  • So, of course, I'm going go in

  • with my Tarte Shape Tape Concealer,

  • I would use this anyway.

  • So, if this foundation wants to stay in my drawer

  • it needs to work with this one.

  • Now, here's where I'm going to go in

  • with my beauty blender and buff this out to filth.

  • Oh shit, I forgot to put a condom on this,

  • oh wait, we all know that didn't fucking work.

  • Alright, back to blending.

  • Alright now, I gotta be really honest,

  • I am loving how this concealer looks over this foundation.

  • 'Cause a lot of the times you'll put on a concealer

  • over a new foundation you're trying

  • and the formula really doesn't settle right

  • or it just doesn't go together.

  • I mean, some ingredients do not mix well

  • which I've learned in the past

  • from doing so many first impressions.

  • So, this concealer really looks pretty.

  • Like, it looks beautiful.

  • Alright, cool.

  • I'm going to quickly set the under eyes, of course,

  • with my favorite Le Mer, The Powder.

  • I like to just go in with my damp beauty blender, of course.

  • This is my trick, I've been telling everybody forever,

  • if you just really wanna melt the powder into the skin,

  • use a damp sponge.

  • Now, not soaking, it just has to be damp

  • and I let that sit there for a second before I brush it off.

  • Alright, now I'm going to gently brush this powder off.

  • It looks really nice, okay cool.

  • So, the last step that I would do before I finish the rest of my face

  • and I go about my day,

  • is I would take of course

  • the Armani Luminous Silk Powder Foundation,

  • with any brush,

  • and I would just pack this over all the parts I did not highlight.

  • Whoo, alright guys, I'm gonna go and finish up the rest of my face

  • and I'll be right back.

  • Alright you guys, I just did a little soft easy glam

  • that I like to wear to the office.

  • And the foundation now obviously,

  • it took me about like 25 minutes to do this quickly

  • and the foundation is still really snatched.

  • So, I'm going to go run some errands,

  • go to the office,

  • and I'll probably be back in like six or seven hours

  • and we'll do a little, I guess,

  • a check-in if you will,

  • and see if anything moved

  • and what the fuck happened to my face.

  • So, see you guys in a little bit.

  • Hic. Oh, excuse me, alright everybody,

  • I have the hiccups all of a sudden,

  • what in the hell?

  • Alright, I'm looking in the monitor

  • and my skin stayed pretty snatched

  • in the last seven hours.

  • My lip gloss I reapplied twice

  • because eating, drinking,

  • that is so normal, obviously.

  • I've gotta say it looks really nice, like,

  • I'm talking really nice.

  • Probably one of the nicest foundations I've used in a while.

  • I know that's a big statement.

  • But you all know I've been dying over my La Mer Foundation,

  • hi, it's getting empty.

  • This is probably my new favorite for '17 so far.

  • I know we're only two months in.

  • But I've gotta say, this is a runner up already because,

  • I mean, it really didn't move.

  • It didn't settle in any fine lines.

  • It didn't cake or look weird or crazy,

  • even after I added powder foundation,

  • setting spray, everything else I did to myself.

  • It looks,

  • it looks really nice,

  • I'm over here like, ah,

  • okay honey, I see you.

  • Alright Armani, you keep slaying my existence,

  • I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do about you this year.

  • Alright I'm gonna say it right here and right now.

  • The Armani Power Fabric Full Coverage Foundation

  • is Jeffree Starr approved.

  • Whoo! I really love this,

  • it is beautiful,

  • it lasted a while so far,

  • and in LA the weather's a little basic here,

  • it's been raining a lot actually,

  • thank God there's no more drought, whoo-hoo!

  • I think, right? Don't quote me on that.

  • But our weather here is very dry,

  • it's also very warm,

  • and the foundation did not move.

  • I'm sitting here in my mirror

  • and I'm looking at it and I'm like,

  • oh my God, you guys, like,

  • it doesn't look bad.

  • Like, usually after like six or seven hours

  • you all know we all need a touch-up.

  • Raise your hands if you need a motherfucking touch-up.

  • I do.

  • Alright, my hair is a fucking mess

  • from this life of mine,

  • and I think it's time to take off my na... my nake-up?

  • I'm thinking of Nathan, I'm always...

  • oh my God, the dick's on my brain.

  • But I'm going to go take off my make-up

  • and then I'm going to go take off Nathan

  • and then we're gonna see what the hell happens.

  • So, thank you guys so much for watching this video.

  • Now I know any counter that sells this

  • you can definitely get a sample which I advise.

  • Always get samples,

  • never waste your money on something,

  • in case it doesn't work.

  • Obviously, I'm doing this because this is for

  • YouTube and it's my job but,

  • I mean, samples are it,

  • because who wants to spend $64 on something that

  • maybe might work.

  • So, be smart about it

  • and I will see you on the next one.

  • Mwah!

  • Bye, guys!

What’s up everybody!
