Reviewers Repeatedly Call This Foundation ‘Flawless’ — And It’s On Rare Sale Today

A large part of its popularity probably has to do with the fact that this foundation works well for many skin types, including acne-prone, dry and aging skin.

Due to its oil-free and non-comedogenic formulation, several dermatologists along with Vanessa Coppola, a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of a New Jersey-based medical spa, have previously recommended Luminous Silk to HuffPost as a great foundation option for those who are acne-prone but who don’t want the thick and overly mattifying coverage that many blemish-marketed foundations can have.

It has also made the favorites list of multiple makeup artists, including Bobbi Brown Cosmetics artist-in-residence Carola Gonzalez, who previously explained to us that as skin ages, it naturally loses luminosity, becomes more dehydrated and dull and wrinkles become more pronounced. Because of this, Gonzales said that she loves using Luminous Silk on clients with mature skin, as its hydrating and glowy-finish formula has the ability to blur imperfections without settling into fine lines or wrinkles.

Available in 40 shades, this medium-coverage and buildable foundation uses what the brand refers to as “micro-fil technology” to allow color pigments to lay flat for seamless blending and layering. The long-lasting formula also claims to improve the look of irregular skin texture while maintaining that lit-from-within glow.

But it’s not just professional beauty and skin care professionals that Luminous Silk has won over — customers love it, too. It has over 5,000 reviews at Nordsrom and an impressive 4.6-star rating overall. “Of all the foundation products I have purchased this is the only one I have repurchased,” wrote reviewer Df9987. “The coverage is excellent without feeling heavy and thick. My skin looks flawless.” Customer lvonrcks had this to say: “I’ve been a makeup artist for 12 years and I use it on everyone… flawless, airbrushed, blendable, luminous, so many words to describe it… Exceptional. You look perfect but still natural, it’s really light too, no heavy makeup feel.”
