[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Having just said I would find it hard to go back to foundation now that skin tints are so much improved and easy in the wear, along comes Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation and I cannot fault it.
Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation is like putting silk on your skin. It’s cooling immediately and feels like the finest skin care rather than a make up product. This shade, Quartz 240, is not quite right for me while my tone is still warm from the summer – I’ve never wished that warmth away so quickly so I can start wearing it. I think this might be the foundation to convert non-foundation users!
In terms of product spec, it has SPF30 PA+++ with kefir and niacinamide. It’s not surprising that it feels like skin care because it more or less is – it has the same level as a Shiseido skin serum so no wonder it’s such a delight on the complexion. The finish is ‘radiant’ so for those who like a little glow and light on their skin – I’d suggest it as an absolute asset for older skin or drier skin types. The brand claims that in one week there will be an improvement in bare skin which seems a strange thing for a skin cover product to claim! However, although I haven’t used it for a full week I can certainly see how there may be improvements.

The brand suggest applying with fingertips and I think perhaps they’re right – I applied with a brush here and didn’t work it into my skin enough – it would be a bit like applying my skin care with a brush (which you absolutely can do) but I think it’s easier to feel your way around and get it properly blended with finger tips. There are 30 shades in Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation which is impressive. It’s £49 but Escentual has it HERE for £41.65.

How does this compare to Armani Luminous Silk? If it was somewhat similar but with skincare benefits it would be a real no brainer for me to switch. Looks fab on you, even with the slight tone mis-match.
I would say it’s similar actually – that silky feel etc – but a recent try of Armani Luminous felt a bit ‘artificial’ is all I can think to say whereas this doesn’t.
