Nars color match9/25/2023 In my opinion, I don’t understand the hype with the Armani foundation – it is not a bad foundation but it is no amazing and it certainly isn’t £40-amazing. Too pricey, however it does come with a pump and a pretty frosted-glass packaging (if you feel that justify the splurge). I don’t think any foundation should cost this much in all honesty, especially not one that doesn’t blow you away. The only downside is that it does not come with a pump! Sounds like minor setback – but when you’re forking out over £30 for some liquid, the least it can do is come with a pump.Īrmani retails at a whopping £40 and this was the reason I was so hesitant, as a student, to invest at first. The NARS retails at £31 which I personally think is worth it for how good of a foundation this is. ![]() ![]() These are both high-end and pricey foundations. Armani on the other hand, is not as good with longevity and after a few hours is patchy and needs either topping up or powdering down. Sheer glow lasts all day on my combination skin but needs to be set with a powder and towards the end of the day is a little oilier. The feel of both of these are much of a muchness in my opinion – both extremely lightweight on the skin! Given that neither of these are matte foundations, the longevity isn’t the best. Instead it provides more of a dewy, shiny look which I personally don’t like. The finish isn’t ‘bad’ but I wouldn’t say it gives a ‘glow’ like the NARS. This foundation has been branded a foundation that gives you a ‘glow from within’ and a miracle complexion. It also leaves your skin looking flawless – I never receive as many skin compliments as I do when wearing this foundation.Īrmani on the other hand, gives a dewy finish and somewhere between light-medium coverage. The foundation really gives a glow-y, natural finish whilst not looking oily or greasy. However, I am a HUGE fan of the finish and for me, NARS is the clear winner here.

On the other hand, Luminous Silk is a better match – perhaps a little too olive-y (see below) – but also caters to a wide range of shades and undertones. Having spoken to many friends and from reading other blogs – many people cannot find their exact match with NARS. Stromboli is my closest match but I often have to mix it with either lightening drops or other foundations to achieve my perfect colour. ![]() Whilst NARS cater to a variety of shades and undertones and as someone with a warm complexion I was surprised to find that the yellow undertone shades are actually too yellow for me. I have to say the Luminous Silk is a better match for me here. ![]() I am the shade Stromboli in NARS and number 6 in the luminous silk. However, having tried and tested the two foundations over a long period of time, I thought it would be useful to compare and contrast. As a long-standing fan of NARS Sheer Glow, I was recommended by many to try the Luminous Silk foundation and promised to be a convert. These are two foundations that have received a LOT of hype.
