Your videos are exactly how I want all the swatch videos to be, short yet very informative and helpful. I really appreciate your effort and encourage you to come up with more swatch videos. Bdw this is coming from a person who has never written a single comment on a youtube😁
Thanks so much for this Molly the most useful swatching I’ve ever seen. Luminous Silk is one of my favourite foundations and this video confirms I made the right choice in shade 5.1.🥰💜
Thank you, Katrina! I love doing these swatch videos, so I'm glad to hear they are helpful. Sometimes like you said, it's just good to get that confirmation that you have the right shade, especially with these pricier foundations!
Wow! Thank you so much for this genius video!!! I cannot express just how helpful this type of video really is for viewers. I honestly can't believe that more of these swatching on the face videos don't exist! I would love to see more -- more foundations, concealers, blushes, bronzers, eyeshadows of all varieties, highlighters, brow pencils (!! undertones can be so difficult to determine online lol) -- anything you want to do for the people! I'll watch repeatedly😊 Love your lighting, gentle and not loud music, up-close and undistorted, clear shots, your input and comments -- all so good. I'll stop gushing. But seriously, thank you and keep up the great work💜💜💜
Thank you, thank you, thank you! These suggestions and requests are a huge help, it's nice to be able to produce content that is actually useful and something people can come back to. I will add more products to the line up to be swatched! Thank you again for your kind words.
When you go over all of the shades on your face at the end of the film, you mess up 5.5 with 5.2. It's just a slip of your tongue. ;-). I've never seen such a great and thorough presentation of swatches. Wonderful!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for being so thorough!! I was looking at 5.8 and it looks SO YELLOW but then I look at my legs and I'm like, actually, yeah, that's me LOL
Ha! Did you end up trying that shade? I always think I'm a light or light to medium, then remember fair usually suits best. I guess I like to think of myself as a bronzed goddess 😂😂
This is so helpful! My winter shade match is 1.5. I can’t decide for my summer shade. Perhaps 5 or 5.9? The numbering is so strange. 1.5 is darker than some of the higher numbers! Your super lovely 🥰.
I'm so happy to have found this video! I got a sample of 5.5, and would have ordered it because it's "almost" right. But after seeing this, I know I need to find 5.9! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this, this made me so happy to read! I started doing these videos hoping that it would make finding your shade easier, so thank you again! :)
Thank you, so glad it was helpful! I never felt like LS oxidized that much until I did this video. So cool to watch and really figure out the shades. Can't wait to film the Part 2.
I don't live anywhere near a beauty counter so I really appreciate all you've done (the cost of all those foundations are sky-high for sure). I got recommendations from Armani's virtual try-ons but truly loved that you swatched my recommendations next to the tones in the Medium group. Would love it if you would feature an olive-skinned model for the medium tones if ever you update this video ... there are a lot of us Asians watching RU-vid videos and most influencer BGs only cater to Caucasian skin. If you want to increase your subs please cater to us Asians. Don't think that we can't use your links, I shop at Nordstrom even if I live in the Middle East.
I love this type of videos. This showcase the foundation shades. Helps a lot in my case when I can’t go to physical store to swatch. Could you please do Laura Mercier, Huda Beauty luminous, Haus Labs, Estee Lauder double wear and Pat Mcgrath sublime foundation
@@girlgetglamorous that’s great. They should see it would sell them more foundations because not all people have the luxury to swatch in store (not all shades sometimes are available to swatch and the lighting is awful). Whereas, all shades are available online but we can’t decipher what suits our skin undertones and skintones.
Everyone raves about this foundation so the side-by-side swatches are very helpful. Of course fresh application vs oxidation will leave me on my discovery trail a bit longer. 😁
Great to hear it was helpful! By the end of the video, the close up section on the dots, the shades have fully oxidized, if that makes finding your shade easier!
Could you drop a picture of the swatches with the actual shade numbers into your community posts please? I’m finding it hard to keep track of the shade numbers and which they all are, it would be very helpful
HI, thank you for the feedback! Do you mean on the blog post? I switched the labeling on those photos to 1-20 instead of shade names because the swatch photos were getting stolen so often and I couldn't get the other sites to take my work down. Is it too hard to figure out the swatch and shade names the way it's labeled now? Thank you for your feedback... Always looking to improve the blog and YT.
@@girlgetglamorous ah I see why you’ve done it that way then, if its because of stolen swatches. I can go through the video and make notes of each shade vs the number. It might just be me but I need to see it visually alongside the shades to compare/pick one 😂
I added some cheeks swatches with the shade names on each swatch on the blog. Once again, I really appreciate the feedback, I want these videos and posts to be useful, so if the pics get taken, so be it! With the swatches right on my face, hopefully it will be easier to get them taken down if someone does take my work. It's too late to add these cheek stripe swatches to the video, but I'll have this style swatch go in the next one in addition to the blended cheek swatches. Here is that updated blog post, hopefully it will make each shade really clear! | girlgetglamorous.com/giorgio-armani-luminous-silk-foundation-swatches-shade-description-20-colors
Thank you so much! I have a foundation graveyard where all the unwanted colours go to die and I must have 3 or 4 Armani Silks in there that are totally wrong and it's an expensive mistake to keep making. I liked the number 2 and wanted something just a shade darker for the summer, asked the virtual person at Sephora and they said 3 would be fine. No! Totally wrong, although common sense might say that 3 is darker you've shown me that it's actually lighter and wrong undertones. I realise now, from your very useful video, that I needed another peach undertone so I'm off to order the 4.25. Thank you again! By the way, have you ever tried the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua? It's my favourite foundation for coverage, texture and how it behaves on my skin but there's so few shades and they mostly come up yellowish on me. We seem to be the same undertone so wondered if you'd had any luck with them.
The way 3.5 is darker than 5.9?? (And 5.9 and 1.5 look like almost the same colour) - thinking I’m going to go with 5.9 though. I like the muted neutral olive undertone of 4 but probably would need something slightly darker, 5.9 looks close to that
Why is the 1.5 so yellow 😭. I recently bought it and it made me look like I have jaundice. I’m going to continue using it with a blue corrector but that was such a jump scare moment for me, looking in the mirror.
I know this video is old, but I’m curious what primer, if any is recommended with this foundation? I was color-matched at Sephora with their camera technology to 3.5 (light-medium olive). I have a sample & plan to purchase the full size. TIA - anyone!
Hi Molly, your videos are amazing and I’ve watched this one several times now. What colour are you in this Armani when you are just natural, no fake tan,
Which of these shades are considered olive? Is neutral the same as being olive? I read somewhere that 4.5 is olive but then I heard you say that 6 was classed as an olive in specific and now question whether 4.5 could be. Your insight would be deeply appreciated, thank you for a very helpful video
I have light warm olive undertone, and it looks like shade 4 is my best match (?) even if it says golden. I tried 3.5 with a drop of white as it’s a little dark on its own, but it looked a bit off, as if it’s too peachy or smth. What do you think? For reference, i have power fabric foundation in 4.5 and it’s a pretty perfect match
Hi! Yes I have been using this one from L.A. Girl. It's great for lightening shades, but does change the finish a bit, to a more full coverage and slightly more matte finish: amzn.to/40fE1c5 If you want a more luminous finish, they make this version too, which I have not tried yet: amzn.to/3FxNCRU
You are a true gem! Thank you for this video. I’m trying to decide between 4.75 and 5.1. I was initially thinking of getting 5.1 but it seems like it oxidizes a lot and it becomes orange looking at the end of the video. What would you advise me? I wear 2N in Dior Skin Glow and 220C in Lancome teint idole ultra.
Thank you, so glad this was helpful! The Armani shades do oxidize a bit, so it's something to keep in mind. I don't know your under tone so hard to say exactly, but you could screenshot the shades in the video on your phone that seem like a good fit and then hold the phone up to your face to try and compare.
Thank you for this ! I tried 5 but was wayy to light but really not sure which to try next ? I use Dior forever skin glow 2.5N any ideas which the closet shade in the Armani would be very welcome !! Thank you x
It's definitely a bit confusing! 1: Armani extended their shade range, so some of the colors seem out of place. 2: The cooler tone foundation often will appear lighter than the warmer foundations in the same shade range. It's wild!
