So finally after a lot of thinking and lethargy and laziness, I finally came around to writing my first ever blog. I have this crazy love for cosmetics and I decided my first blog should be on one of my most loved possession, the famous Armani skin foundation called MAESTRO. This was a latest launch by Armani Cosmetics, claiming it to be the best foundation out there.
Claims:
- High Pigmented
- thin fluid
- 'second skin' hence no makeup feel
- thinnest foundation of the world
- good for skin
- non comedogenic.
Product Description:
The product is a 30 ml glass bottle,that has a unique feature that instead of normal foundation it neither comes with a pump nor is just a plain bottle. It contains a dropper in place of the lid, and given the thin texture of the foundation, I think that is the only best way the product could have been packaged. The bottle is a nice frosted glass that even though looks good, but may give a slight darker impression of the product colour contained inside.
Now coming to the product itself. It is a super thin liquid, almost watery. I found the best way to apply is first shake the bottle and then squeeze the dropper slightly in order to get a drop or two of the product on your finger and then quickly blend it to the skin. A little goes a long way... the product just a few drops will easily cover the whole face. The coverage is sheer, but definitely buildable.
Now as per the claim-- 'second skin', yes you cannot feel at all what you have put on your skin! The feeling of a layer just disappears! Initially on application I thought it just seems like a yet another foundation and does not look anything close to spectacular, but after a while it started merging with my skin, giving me a flawless finish as the day passed. More than that, no one could tell that I am wearing makeup!
Most of the foundations that I have come across seem to turn orange or cakey as the hours pass by. But this one is a miracle product, it makes your skin looks even better as it ages throughout the day!
It is truly good for skin, did not cause a breakout and amazing for oily skin types. However even though its runny and thin in texture, it gives a glow-y yet matte finish. I am not sure whether it is suitable for dry skin type or not, but definitely its the best product out there for normal/combination/oily skin types.It also contains SPF 15, which is another advantage for wearing during the day.
Price and Availability:
Coming onto the price, yes, the price is a bit steep. It costs 33.600 Omani Rials and I purchased it from 4u at the Muscat Grand Mall. They were the only ones who were selling this product, and upon asking I found out that the authorized dealers for Armani in Oman are Khimjis, so I am sure it would be available at their outlets too. Since little product goes a long way, I think even with the price, its a worthy purchase.
