I was really surprised when I tried this for the first time. The color match is bang on which is probably 90 % of why I'm giving this five stars. I have fair skin with warm undertones and finding foundations that match is a constant struggle. The second color in Armani's Power Fabric is also an exact match but I cannot bring myself to repurchase it because it's matte nature makes it less forgiving for me. I really like this foundation (probably closer to a tinted moisturizer) because it has some coverage but its luminosity provides a natural blurring effect. It's great for everyday wear and feels really nice on the skin.

I've gone through 3 bottles of the Luminous Silk (it's color match isn't as good though) and this foundation wears much nicer for me throughout the day. They both break down but this one breaks down in a more natural way. It's not splotchy around my nose like the Luminous Silk can sometimes be. I would add one word of warning about the product though. If you are used to using Armani's other foundations with the pump, you are going to go through this much faster. Personally one pump covers my whole face with Armani's other foundations. However, I use significantly more of this foundation to get a similar effect. There is also a lot of waste with this foundation because you have less control when getting it out. So the 40 dollar price tag looks nice but make no mistake it costs me more in the end to use this foundation.

Amazing!

Amazing gel-like textures, goes beautifully on, and gives that no-makeup makeup look. It’s radiant and subtle. Very natural, and looks great in photos. I have the luminous silk foundation as well, and I like this one better, especially when I don’t feel like being too dressy. I am 48.Finding the right shade is a bit tricky though as in all Armani foundation lines, and this one is no exception. I have fair-light skin with neutral undertone. In the summer I am light -medium at best. My hair is dark, and my eyes are blue. The 2.5 was the best match for me - it has a nice soft glow, light enough but not too light so you look like a ghost. Very natural looking. Coverage is not bad, but my skin does not have any major concerns. In luminous silk I am 1.5 in the winter, ... MoreAmazing gel-like textures, goes beautifully on, and gives that no-makeup makeup look. It’s radiant and subtle.

The neo foundation 2.5 is perfect for transitional seasons, and matches my skin nicely all year around for me.

For me, this is perfection!

Absolutely love this! I can’t even count how many foundations I have tried over the years until I finally found this. It is super light weight, yet buildable and gives a lovely glow without looking artificial. Best part is, it does not smudge or settle throughout the day. Just stays put. I am in my late 50s and was forever looking for a light foundation that does not settle into lines but smoothes them. Living in a hot climate, heavy foundations tend to turn into a mess after a few hours. This stays perfect all day! My Make-up has never looked better!

Great for a hydrating, even tone glow!

Gorgeous, lightweight and hydrating foundation. My skin felt more plump and dewy without being overly greasy upon the first few hours of application. It never settled into cracks/lines like most serum/moisturizing foundations do and the smell is neutral and not overbearing! However, even with setting powder, I did have a little bit of oil production on my forehead and broke out a few times (approx 12 hrs into wear). I have fair/combo skin but I think this foundation would be fabulous for folks with dry skin. I’ll still definitely use it regardless but for that reason I can’t make it my daily wear foundation.

Holy Grail Foundation!

I adore shade 6 in the GA luminous silk, as it matches my olive skin tone perfectly, but I found it tends to rub off very easily and doesn’t set down. I tried this in the same shade 6 and it was love at first apply. You hardly need any product ( less than a pea) and it applies quickly and beautifully. It takes me about 3 seconds to apply all over my face for a perfect and even coverage. This product is very pigmented but feels lightweight on the skin and makes face feels nourished all day long. Despite being a tinted moisturiser, this sets down much better than luminous silk. Now on tube 2 of shade 6 and just bought shade 9 for the summer. Perfect!

Horrible uneven broken patchy appearance the worst

No lie, I came here specifically to leave my review because this is the hands-down absolute worst foundation I’ve ever tried. So disappointed, because I really wanted something light that could easily be applied and was so happy to find this one because I ‘assumed’ it would be a quality product and the colour seemed perfect. I got colour 5 and it looked perfect in the store but is a little on the light side — be warned about the colour options because I am usually struggling to find a foundation light in colour enough and I feel like these run particularly light. But I could live with the colour just fine, it’s the awful texture I hate. I have tried many other skincare choices beneath it (different moisturizers, primers, sunscreens etc) and it has just not played ... MoreNo lie, I came here specifically to leave my review because this is the hands-down absolute worst foundation I’ve ever tried.

I have tried many other skincare choices beneath it (different moisturizers, primers, sunscreens etc) and it has just not played well with ANY of them. It’s hard to get a smooth even application with fingers, Beauty Blender (my fav way of using foundation) or brushes. The few times I have managed to, I find it breaking up on my skin in literally an hour to a half day at most. I have combo/oily skin and the few rare times I have had the slightest dryness it clung to those areas and looked embarrassingly bad. On oilier areas, it breaks up and emphasizes each and every pore. I would most definitely return this except I’ve kept it around for a couple of months trying to make it work which was a complete waste and mistake. I don’t mind paying more for good skincare and makeup but I could seriously find better at the dollar store.

Nude for a Reason

I picked up this foundation on a whim the first time and back for more! This is called neo nude for a reason. It has a very light consistency with a buildable coverage that you can barely feel on your skin. Perfect for hot summer days or natural makeup look day. I just use a bit to get a little bit of coverage and color. This foundation is never cakey but rather moisturizing. Although there's not a lot of shades to choose from, there's a couple you can mix together to create a nice shade. Personally, I choose a darker shade and mix it with a bit of lighter shade- works perfectly between my summer and winter shades. Give it a try, your skin will thank you!

Really like it.

I usually dont buy such sheer formulas when it comes to foundation, but I ended up really liking this. So Im not usually shopping in this category, but Im really happy with the choice I made. Because my overall makeup routine has gotten lighter, I wanted something that would reflect that. I usually apply foundation with a beautyblender, however with this product I find applying with a brush gives more payoff(the sponge sucks everything up and has little to no effect). I like to set it with powder and this makes my skin look so smooth! I would recommend having a regular exfoliation routine(I love Shani's retinol and DE's Babyfacial) in place to max out the effects of products like this. I give it about half an hour or so for it to settle in, and after that point, ... MoreI usually dont buy such sheer formulas when it comes to foundation, but I ended up really liking this.

I love the look of my real skin peeking through but without the flaws ;) Although this isnt a high coverage formula, I am very happy with the amount it offers, which was more than expected. Very happy with this purchase.

Works like a dream!

I tried a sample of another Armani foundation (forgot which one), a while back. It was really lovely! So I decided to try out this particular foundation due to its lightweight formula. I have never had a foundation match my skin colour as well as this one does. It covers so extremely well and creates a perfect finish. I have very pale skin and most foundations are a bit darker than my tone. This foundation had the perfect shade for me and you wouldn't even know I had foundation on at all. It's truly amazing and natural looking. You really do not need a lot. I would recommend squeezing tiny amounts at a time so you don't waste any (I made this mistake at the beginning, thinking I needed my usual amount, but it was way too much.) So it will last you a very long time ... MoreI tried a sample of another Armani foundation (forgot which one), a while back. It was really lovely!
