hi Agnes
i have Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation purchased from Hongkong, i don't find it very fantastic. i bought it out of raves among makeup artist, models and magazine raves. but it do looks flawlessly fantastic on the first application but oxidize very quickly making it looking darker.
fyi, i use shade 4 and is MAC 20 NC.
but again, it might be "user " problem too hahaha
Hi Audrey,
Good to see you again. Oxidizaton can be really yucky. It must have been such a let-down, considering how expensive it was.
