I thought I would absolutely love the new Giorgio Armani Maestro Glow; a radiance version of the original bi-phase Maestro Glow. It’s a vry loose liquid, although it contains no water, and uses oils and pigment to give coverage. But, although I love these fluid, bi-phase textures, this is a glow within a matte formula and I just didn’t get it really. I couldn’t see any discernable glow (and I tried it on Thursday which was radiantly sunny) and the coverage wasn’t quite enough. That’s a personal thing though but generally I think you need to have damn near perfect skin in the first place to carry this one off. I know women who genuinely rave about this so maybe it’s just me but I’d have to spend my £40 elsewhere on this occasion.
It’s a whole other story for the super fluid Maestro UV, an SPF50 that’s got you covered for both UVA and UVB along with a kick of pollution protection. It’s so light, feels like skin care not sun care and is not discernable in look or feel once it’s on the face. Maestro UV is also indicated for sensitive skin . There is every trend going on in this product – anti-pollution, light feeling sun protection and skin care elements. It’s a luxury buy, but it feels as such so if you’re in a treat yourself mood, it’s £40 HERE.

I appreciate your honesty. I actually loved the foundation at first, but have since forgotten about it. I think it was great when my skin was super dry and patchy over an allergic reaction to something else, but since then I reach for my tinted moisturizer more for everyday.

I am surprised you do not see a glow when applied? did you set it with something? because it is VERY glowy. I love dewy luminous foundations and have never tried (and I have tried too many) anything as glowy as this
No I didn’t use anything over it – I wonder if the light was just all wrong to get the glow – I might try it again on a sunny day, but I’ve seen someone else wearing it and didn’t feel it was particularly glowy on her either.
I tried this foundation after I tried Shiseido’s new Synchro Skin Lasting foundation. Shiseido’s gives better coverage, but still makes the skin look natural and radiant.
