THE VERDICT:
Finally! I now have GA's face fabric foundation. I've been dying to get my hands on one and the universe has heard my plea! Yay!
Face fabric foundation is one of GA cosmetics' best- selling foundation variants. It boasts of the Micro- fil technology, a foundation innovation made by Armani. It promises to fill in fine lines and smoothen skin for a texture that's as perfect and smooth as fabric.
Let's review the packaging.
The only size for the face fabric foundation is 40ml. It comes in a plastic tube that doesn't look cheap. It saves space in your make- up kit and it's very lightweight!
Let's now review the product.
The texture of Face Fabric is like silicone, but not totally. It has this cream to powder consistency that makes it easy to blend. You also don't have to wait for it to dry, which is a con of some liquid foundations. It easily settles on the skin.
It is unscented, so no need to worry about perfume clogging your pores.
Coverage is light to medium. It's buildable so you can choose whether you want a sheer or a more obvious coverage.
Natural beige 3 a tad light for my skin tone. But it doesn't show because this foundation has amazing skin adjusting properties that helps the foundation blend with my natural skin tone.
Another great thing: IT HAS SPF! :)
Here's moi wearing the foundation. I love that it makes my skin photo- worthy! I can really see the difference with and without the foundation. It covered some of my minor blemishes. Indeed it dressed my skin like how fabric dresses the body. It looks very natural, and it doesn't seem as if I'm wearing foundation here!
Staying power is good. This is the best foundation for oily skinned people.
Price is a bit steep, but it's all worth it. One con is, it's unavailable here. Thank God I still have 4 more foundations on hand. Because if not, I'll use this up in no time!
I'm definitely buying one again! :)
**Face Fabric is not to be confused with Face Fabric Radiance, the FF variant that gives skin an illuminating glow.
