Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Skincare on.
Primer time, e.l.f on the right side (left in the picture) and SHEGLAM on the left side (right in the picture).
The side with the SHEGLAM (right in the picture) looks a lot more dewy and glowy.
I applied the foundation using my Morphe M444 brush, both sides looks good.
Contoured with my usual kit which is the NARS bronzer and Zoeva brush.
Makeup all done.
19:56: Both sides look really good.
Date Tried: Wednesday 15th May 2024

Skincare only.
Primer time so SHEGLAM on the left (right in the pictures) and e.l.f on the right (left in the pictures).
I feel like the SHEGLAM is more liquidy.
Foundation applied, both side looks glowy.
Contoured with my usual things.
18:23: Both sides still look good.
Date Tried: Thursday 16th May 2024

Skincare applied.
e.l.f primer on the left side (right in the picture) and SHEIN on the right side (left in the picture).
Applied and the SHEGLAM side is really nice.
Foundation applied and both sides look amazing.
Contoured some form of shape into my face.
Makeup all done.
21:13: The sweatest day in 2024 in England so far.
Date Tried: Friday 17th May 2024
Nicest to apply: SHEGLAM
Looks the nicest: SHEGLAM
Lasts longer: Same
Looks the best longest: Same
Cheapest overall: SHEGLAM
These are not bad primers, I prefer my Benefit POREfessional for my skin but if I was to have to repurchase one of these primers it would have to be the SHEGLAM one, it felt more hydrating.
Is it a dupe: Not far off.
