High Street vs Luxury

Maybelline or Giorgio Armani?

The battle of wanting a dewy foundation without having to break the bank.

 

Can you do both?

 

Or do you really get what you pay for?

 

 

Maybelline Super Stay is one of the best-selling foundations right now on the high street.

 

And Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk is in every celebrities’ make up bag.

 

How do they match up against each other?

Maybelline Super Stay

 

Maybelline New York, owned by L’Oreal themselves, is one of the biggest affordable cosmetics brand.

 

This Super Stay Skin Tint is a lightweight foundation, enriched with Vitamin C to illuminate and hydrate your skin.

 

Following the luxury brands with Vitamin enriched foundation!

 

Promising 24 hour wear…

 

How does it look?

A Dewy Foundation

For the price point (currently £10.49 on Look Fantastic), it gives a great finish.

 

A creamy, bright and dewy glow.

 

A good amount of coverage.

 

But not too thick at the same time.

 

How does Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk compare?

 

A Bright Veil Across Your Skin

This foundation does exactly what it says on the tin…

 

A stunning, light coverage. 

 

That brings your skin to life.

 

Without looking like you have loads of make up on.

(Shade 5.95)

 

You Get What You Pay For…

The left side (Maybelline) looks like foundation.

 

You can see it sat in the creases on my skin.

 

Whereas the right side (Giorgio Armani) Just. Looks. Seamless.

It practically looks like your skin.

Just better.
