This member of the Armani family is considered one of the most popular luxury anti-aging creams. This foundation is sung by bloggers and is one of the five best foundations ever invented by the cosmetics industry.

As the name implies, the cream has a lifting effect - it visually tightens the oval of the face, makes the skin smoother, illuminates it from the inside and fills in wrinkles, thereby leveling the relief.

It has strong anti-aging properties and a high degree of concealment. It is able to hide many imperfections: pimples, redness, inflammation or age spots, wrinkles. It has SPF 20. According to the manufacturer himself, thanks to the daily use of the cream, the skin is tightened and looks fresher and more elastic, radiant (due to microparticles of Prussian pearl blue). Thanks to him, all age-related imperfections are visually hidden, and the skin begins to shine with health.

The cream has a liquid consistency. It is very similar to water and can really run off your hand, so you need to apply it very quickly. To do this, you can use a brush, but it is better to apply with your fingers. There is a lifting effect - perhaps owners of skin with a greasy sheen should not abuse this cream. Shine mixed with sebum will not look very good. The cream is suitable for normal, combination and dry skin, as it perfectly hides peeling.

The product lasts for half a day without any problems, but then you have to use powder. It does not oxidize and does not change its color, it contains moisturizing ingredients, and the skin with it seems to be nourished and contented with life. The tone is generally not felt on the face at all, it is invisible, it quickly “sets down”. No mask effect.

The bottle is made in the usual Armani design - frosted glass and black dispenser, black cap. The dispenser is light, does not require strong pressure, gives out the product in small drops.

For such an effect, however, it is worth paying the corresponding money - on average, a bottle of 30 ml costs 5000-6000 rubles. It will not be very difficult to choose a shade, as there are 10 options in the line.

Like its previous "brother", this cream is aimed at a lifting effect - eliminating the first signs of aging, giving the face radiance, smoothing due to the "double silk" technique. And yes, the skin really shines, thanks to the mother-of-pearl microgranules. The radiance is unobtrusive, far from any highlighter or unpleasant oily sheen. The tone lays down with a light veil, with the effect of a second skin and illuminates from the inside.

It is ideal for the cold season, as it both nourishes and moisturizes even the driest or most dehydrated skin. However, the tool is quite stable, so ladies with combination skin are also suitable.

The density of the cream is high, as is the degree of coverage - this is the densest cream from Armani, and it is better to apply it with a brush created specifically for it (called "Designer"). It is applied well with hands, but requires a certain care - you just can’t apply it in two strokes. Has SPF 20.

The design is also attractive - this cream is not packaged in a bottle, but in a small jar of exactly the same frosted glass.

The finish is moderately matte, but not overly so. The cream preserves the natural relief of the skin - and at the same time smooths out irregularities and highlights.

The cost of such cosmetics is about 6000 rubles.
