Create Your Canvas

{Giorgio Armani Maestro Foundation, $62}

{Giorgio Armani Maestro Eraser, $40}

It's no secret that we love makeup.  We get countless emails asking what face makeup we wear and what the new hot ticket item is!  Well, look no further, we are in love with the new Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation. I have used the infamous Armani Silk Luminous foundation which is nice but this one trumps it. It is so lightweight and leaves a luxurious feeling on your skin! The formula is water-based and is made to be applied with the fingers. If you apply it with a brush, the brush will absorb the product and you will end up using more unnecessarily.  One layer will give a light tinted-moisturizer glow, but if you apply two to three layers you will get a full coverage look. I also love that there is SPF 15 infused as well. I recently learned that some foundations that contain SPF have titanium dioxide which gives you the white-ish mask/bounce back effect when taking pictures that have a flash.  The Maestro foundation doesn't have titanium dioxide in the SPF, so thankfully, you can wave goodbye to that pale-faced Twilight look that used to ruin your pictures.  I also really loved the Maestro Concealer.  I used to be a Clea De Peau {the infamous "best" concealer in the world} devotee but I am finding the thick consistency of their formula accumulates in any fine lines around my eyes...not cute! I know the price of these products is a little steep but I suggest going to your local Nordstrom's and asking for a sample of the foundation and concealer and see if it's a right fit for you. It's so important to create the perfect canvas to a flawless face.
