Which One Is Worth The Splurge?

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk has been the best-selling foundation since I can remember. 

But Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs has been storming through the make up charts and now I see it EVERYWHERE.

Which one is worth the investment?

I try them both to find out…

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk

This award winning foundation by Vogue…

Best Foundation, Best Bridal Foundation and Best Beauty Inspiration to name a few

Has light reflecting technology and promises silky smooth results.

I went for shade 5.9 Medium Cool, and used my trusty Hourglass Foundation Brush to blend in.

Here are the Results…

Once blended, I used my normal make up routine to see the finished look.

I was Expecting A Lot More…

Lady GaGa’s Haus Labs Foundation

 This was the foundation I was the most excited to try.

I think because it’s fairly new on the scene, it’s Lady GaGa, and the bottle is quite inviting (just me?)

My one gripe is that it doesn’t have a bottle dispenser.

So you have to unscrew the lid and use the little stick thing.

It’s not the end of the world, but just a small inconvenience I thought I’d point out!

Haus Labs Finished Look

Once I had blended it in, I used my normal make up routine to really assess the finished look.

Here’s what I used:

♦ Rodial Banana Lowlighter (under my eyes, middle of forehead and chin)

♦ Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder

♦ Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand (a dewy finish on your cheekbones!)

♦ Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

Quick Comparison Table: Armani vs Haus Labs

Haus Labs Blew Me Away

 I know I had high expectations, but I didn’t think a foundation could do that.

The coverage was insane.

With still a beautiful and dewy finish.

My skin looked exactly the same 8 hours later, with not a smidge of foundation out of place.

If you like a full coverage, with a dewy finish, this foundation is PERFECT.

I used shade Light Medium Cool, and it gives that lovely tanned warmth without being orange.

The Hourglass foundation brush is the only brush you need to blend in your foundation.

I don’t think I will ever use another method to apply my make up.
