Have you ever looked at your favorite celeb and thought, How the heck is their skin so freaking perfect?! Because same. Aside from the luxe beauty devices and fancy facials, there’s one product behind the flawless, glass-like skin of so many celebs. Think Sabrina Carpenter on the Grammys stage and Mikey Madison on the Oscars red carpet—they both used the same foundation for their radiant complexions. The secret? The Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.
That’s right, the foundation behind your favorite A-listers’ radiant complexions is the Armani Luminous Silk formula. It’s beloved for providing a natural finish and buildable, medium coverage. Even better? It’s free of pore-clogging ingredients, making it a safe choice for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It also recently graced the faces of Cynthia Erivo, Zoe Saldaña, Sydney Sweeney, and Sofia Richie during the 2025 award show szn.
Not convinced by the flawless complexions of your favorite A-listers? Then take it from our very own beauty editors that the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is really that girl.“I normally wear skin tints, but when I’m really breaking out, I reach for this fuller coverage option,” says beauty director Lauren Balsamo. “It is lightweight and blends easily but has enough pigment to hide redness and dark marks.”
And our beauty editor Beth Gillette is also a stan of the formula. “I scrounged up my money in college to splurge on this foundation long before I was a beauty editor because nearly every celebrity makeup artist swore by it,” she says. “Now, as an expert myself with access to basically every foundation ever, I still choose it whenever I need a full-coverage glam moment. It makes my skin look smooth, soft, and basically flawless—all without looking like I’m wearing too much makeup.” Talk about a ~glowing~ review.
So, if you want to look red-carpet-ready at all times, stock up on this celeb-favorite formula. And shop more of the Luminous Silk collection like the Sabrina’s go-to blush and the Alix Earle–loved concealer below!
