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.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
