Ask Any Celebrity Makeup Artist—These 10 Armani Products Work for Everyone
An immaculate finish every time.
I don't like to spend a lot of time doing my makeup. There, I said it. I'm a total makeup minimalist these days and I'm not really sorry about it. That's why more often than not, I reach for Armani Beauty products. Like just about every celebrity makeup artist on the planet, I find that the brand's staple products (natural-looking foundations, eye shadow, and blush) always help me create a flawless five-minute face.
Although there's nothing wrong with taking your time on a look, Armani products really work both ways—they're buildable, blendable, and compliment so many different skin tones. The brand's Luminous Silk Foundation ($69) is basically legendary for its silky, skin-perfecting, noncomedogenic formula. Makeup artists keep it on hand at all times to create a fast, foolproof base and I honestly do the same. Whether you fall into the "extra AF" or minimalist camp like moi, Armani products truly work for everyone. To confirm which products are the best of the best, I asked two celebrity MUAs to weigh in. Keep scrolling for their picks and a few of my own personal favorites.
"The Luminous Silk Foundation is a kit staple for me. It works on pretty much everyone and I also love to mix it with a heavier foundation to get the perfect medium coverage that still gives a glow to the skin."—Hailey Hoff, celebrity makeup artist
"My number one cult favorite for obvious reasons would absolutely be Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation. There’s a reason your favorite celebrities and influencers gush over this staple. The name is a perfect description of this buildable, glowy second-skin like base. It blurs, has a broad range of tones and shades, and feels hydrating on the skin. Use one pump for an everyday natural glam, or two pumps to amp up the pigment and coverage!"—Judi Gabbay, celebrity makeup artist
"This is perfect for any beachy photo shoot or to mix in with the foundation for a super glowy, natural look. I love using the pink shade to layer as a more sheer blush as well."—Hoff
"Another holy grail Armani beauty product in my personal and professional kit is Armani's Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer. This multidimensional product is beautiful on its own to give a subtle glow from within on bare skin or added over a finished beat for some extra highlight. A pro artist secret: you can even mix your fluid sheer into any foundation for an instant luminous finish!"—Gabbay
"For an effortless, long-lasting, skin-like luster, Armani's fool-proof Luminous Silk Glow Setting Powder sets foundation into place and will give your skin a lifted, radiant set. Luminous Silk Glow Setting Powder is my go-to for an everyday sheen on the skin, or to set foundation into place for all-day wear."—Gabbay
This lipstick is more like a hydrating balm with a burst of color. It's an essential in my makeup bag and lasts so long.
For a fuller coverage option, I reach for Armani's Power Fabric Foundation. Like Luminous Silk, this one is also noncomedogenic and is formulated with patented micro-fil technology which allows pigments to lay flat for seamless blending. It's weightless, comfortable, and provides a gorgeously smooth finish.
