Giorgio Armani Face Fabric // Foundation Review

Giorgio Armani Face Fabric // Foundation Review














You may know, that I recently did a first impressions of this foundation on my YouTube: 

Make sure to check it out! You can see there how I applied it, how it looked in video, and my first thoughts. Since this video I have tried it out several more times. I've liked it and I've hated it. First lets talk coverage.. It isn't there. This is such a sheer coverage that it isn't even funny. I hoped at least for light-to-medium. Nope. It could pass as a tint. That is where I'm confused because this is a mousse texture that turns to powder texture once rubbed in. Weird, right? You also have to go light with this, not so great with a sheer formula, otherwise your face feels so heavy of makeup! I also have found that applying it with my hand is the best way over sponge or brush, which I also hate.  So I can honestly say this "foundation" absolutely sucks. 
This is where that changes.. So all though I don't like it as a "foundation" with a full face of other makeup, as you can see in my pictures I'm pretty bare face. I literally have four products on my face (my lashes are just tinted a little from yesterdays mascara). As you can see (that "light" coverage) all my freckles, a few blemishes I have, and you can also see my awful under eye circles before I applied concealer. I can say in the video I actually liked the outcome of this. I looked natural and dewy, but on average days of my life I have horrid breakouts and this wouldn't work. What I was the most intrigued about was trying it for the gym. It sounds stupid, but I am one of those people that have insecurities about my break outs, under eyes, and light brows & lashes. Because of those I do wear makeup to the gym, but I'm always super light with it. I plan on doing a whole video on gym makeup soon, but for the mean time I wanted to review this. I tried this over my usual and to my surprise I loved it! Another thing I'm insecure about at the gym is the fact that I'm so pale that once I start really killing it at the gym I turn red, tomato red. It can be so embarrassing, with this on the tint somehow kept my natural tone in place while sweating my butt off! No red showed through. I also wanted to mention the wear time because it is pretty great! Again, not much there because the coverage is awful, but it lasts all day! I had sweat pouring down my face at the gym and it stayed in place no problem! 
So do I love this product? Not as actual foundation. Would I repurchase? I don't know. I would want to for the gym, but the cost of this is killer for that coverage. 

I honestly give this Face Fabric a 4/10 only because how long it last and how it works for me at the gym. For a day-to-day foundation with other makeup? I don't think so. I did want to add you get 1.35 FL. Oz that is pretty good since the standard size is 1 FL. Oz. 

The Giorgio Armani Face Fabric is $49 and you can get it at Sephora.
My shade: 0.5
Below are the other products I threw on. 

Just a little Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer (1n ultra light neutral) on my under eyes, Ulta Beauty Brow Tint (light), and a little NYX Butter Gloss (eclair). I normally just throw a chapstick on for the gym though.

Tower 28 Beauty | Makeup

 To the brand that has opened my eyes to a creative outlet while thinking of my skin all the time. Tower 28 Beauty has proved to me that you can have fun with makeup while taking your skin into consideration the entire time. While it's still fun to dip into all my other makeup I have found so much joy in my lightweight makeup ways. The shift happened after trying more cream products and Tower 28 has been one of them. I eyed the beauty of this brand for a while and then took the plunge with their cream bronzer, Bronzino in the shade Sun Coast (the lightest to go with my fair complexion), Beach Please Balm Blush in the shade Power Hour , and a couple of their ShineOn Lip Jellies (Almond & Cashew) .  Their creams are balms so you get a full shine to your look. They not only make your skin look glossy and healthy but also vibrant with the pigment. The blushes really pack a punch in pigment and can be worn as a flush of color or built-up. The bronzer is a little less pigmented th

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Alamar Cosmetics Spanglish | Makeup

I've been loving Alamar since it started and I love to see how far they have come. It's an indie brand I will always recommend so to then get their products in Boxycharm or Boxy Pop Up sales its a win win! That's how I got my Spanglish palette . You can already see this is an Ally palette by the purples! It's a gorgeous one with buttery mattes and stunning metallics. I also appreciate the subtle browns while also having the pops of color too. I found the color story pretty, but also odd. It's not one you see a lot but it does work. I have also found myself creating unique shades by mixing shades together. It's definitely a cute summer moment that you won't be disappointed with.  Swatches left to right: Pero Like, Eres Un Show, Tiene Swing, Guao, Ay Que Cute, Jajaja, Muy Excited, & Ponte Hyper.  Did you miss these blogs?  Lizzie McGuire x ColourPop | Makeup KVD Beauty Edge of Reality | Makeup Beautbean x Shroud It's Freakin' Bats | Makeup I als
