Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation

What it is: A foundation with a sophisticated, modern fluid format that is silken and sensuous. What it does: Dress your skin with radiant golden light, flawless dewy finish, and impalpable coverage. With its luxuriously fluid texture, Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation instantly assimilates with the skin, endowing it with illuminating particles of light-reflective mica and fine translucent pigments. Even dry skin is nourished with a special blend of moisturizing agents and conditioning vitamins, leaving it perfectly hydrated with a naturally lustrous glow. What else you need to know: ""This lightweight formula blends beautifully and can be sheered out or built up depending on the coverage desired. The overall look is always flawless and even-toned with a polished, soft, sophisticated finish, and a slightly dewy effect."" Pat McGrath, Global Creative Advisor

I got this in Almond and it's the perfect shade for my MAC NW 35 complexion. I love the way it looks on my combination skin. I highly recommend it. It gives me that dewy feel that I liked. Going to get it in the powder.

Quick Take: long wearing, great coverage
I have spent a large part of my life searching for a foundation that would hide the problems I have without looking artificial or feeling heavy. I have generally relied on powder foundations, as they seem to cover better. I debated long and hard about buying this - 59.00 is a lot of money. I chose the shade "Creamy" #80. It is slightly light, but most foundations oxidize a bit and get darker as the day wears on. This is a tiny bit dry, so I use a more emollient moisturizer and slippery primer. My skin looks perfect with this, and that is a first. I have rosacea and enlarged pores, and this hides them, gives me a glow, without shine, and stays put for hours. I will buy this again without qualms - it is fabulous. Thank you D and G for making this beautiful foundation - it is the best I've ever tried, and I have tried pretty much everything, including La Prarie and Cle de Peau. This beats them by a mile. Yay!

My new go to foundation
-04.22.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
This foundation matches perfectly with my skin tone and provides a dewy, glowing look. I have an oily complexion, so I need to pair it with the powder as well otherwise I start to have some shine on my cheeks midday. The shade matches perfectly with my skin and provides flawless coverage.

The foundation has a weird smell, then it didn't feel moisturizing at all, the finish was mat, not dewy at all, my skin even felt a bit tight, although I had appled moisturizer before the only good thing about this foundation is the color choice , not impressed, there are better foundations out there

New Holy Grail
-03.25.13
Quick Take: aweome!!!, little costly..., new holy grail for special occasions
Love! LOVE! I recently purchased this foundation, and I gotta say---- LOVE IT! It covers well, I don't like heavy/ thick foundation,so this was great. There was great coverage for me, the perfect color, and great consistency. BTW, I use UB NAKED #7 daily, just letting you know what color I am. This D & G will be used for night time and special occasions because of the price and it actually matched better than my Naked.

Drying
-03.24.13
Color was an issue for me to begin with. Aside from that, it went on nicely and was pretty, not masking. After about 3 hours, it oxidized on me. No doubt it was going back. I also found it to be surprisingly drying. D&G do have a great foundation in the Perfect Creamy Foundation. I'll stick to that.

Not the best
-03.20.13
Quick Take: dull
I expected more, first the product has a weird smell, then it goes on creamy enough, but feels like a mask on my skin, it certainly gives more a matte finish than a luminous one. I just don't like the way it feels on my skin. Almost a bit chalky . For the price, not satisfied

Perfectly luminous
-01.21.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, luminous, flawless, moisturizing
This foundation gives my skin a very soft/flawless look without being thick and cakey. I have very dry skin and this product makes my skin look and feel moisturized. Within a few minutes of applying, my skin starts to look luminous and doesnt have any sparkle to it. Also provides the perfect coverage for my skin

Fuller finish than expected
-01.21.13
I purchased this in Warm Rose, and the color is a perfect match for my skin. I own several foundations, but am always on the lookout for that magical formula which has enough coverage to conceal my acne scars and hide my large pores, yet is radiant and sheer enough to look natural and fresh. I was pleasantly surprised with this foundation's coverage. I tend to apply "brightening" foundations with a silicone primer, like Smashbox, and thicker foundations with a brightening primer, like Korres.
The first time I applied this I used Smashbox primer and my fingers. The foundation dried too quickly - as I was spreading it it began to set and looked motley on my skin, and settled in my pores, leaving me polka-dotted even with the primer. The second time I applied it, I used the same primer, but applied the foundation with a damp beauty blender sponge. I did a quick smear of a large drop across one cheek and then tapped and buffed with the sponge. The results were MUCH prettier - soft, medium coverage with a matte finish. I expected a high shine finish but that was not the case. However, about one hour into wearing the foundation, it did start to look "luminous". About 3 hours into it, I started to look shiny. I blotted and applied Cover FX sheer powder with a brush and that tamed the shine.
My personal opinion of this foundation is that the coverage is very good - it is not sheer, more medium and does not require any setting powder upon application unless you are oily skinned. But due to how quickly it sets, you are best off applying it with good moisturizer and quick buffing, no matter what tool you use.
My total hours of wearing it before it completely melted off my cheeks was 9 hours.

Quick Take: long wearing
Hadn't been wearing make-up for a while and then didn't know what to try. This was my first choice and it's perfect. Smooth and great coverage.
