5. Georgio Armani’s Designer Shaping Cream Foundation glides onto the skin, leaving a silky finish that promises extreme comfort and moisture for up to 12 hours. Available in seven shades, a light layer is enough to even out wrinkles, fine lines and imperfections, all thanks to its ‘Micro-Fil Modelling’ technology and double-silk fibres that adapt to the shape of the face while redefining facial contours and improving luminosity.
