Luminous Silk, at least on my skin, benefits tremendously with the addition of a glowy finishing spray like my DIY Caudalie Divine Oil-infused water. Mixing it with YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat also amps up the coverage while making it more dewy and soft-focus in effect. For example, mixing with Sheer Glow helps to make it more yellow-toned with higher coverage. That's the way I've been preferring to wear Luminous Silk - not on its own, but mixed with another foundation to counteract some of its less desirable qualities. It definitely holds up better over time, especially when I mix it with a higher coverage foundation like Sheer Glow. NARS Sheer Glow, YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat).

On the plus side, and perhaps because it's drier/more matte on me than moisturising/dewy, I do find it to be longer lasting on the skin and not as oily as other foundations I favour (e.g.
Of my two most recent foundation acquisitions, I infinitely prefer YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat to Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. Or it could just be that it's targeted more towards oily/combination skin rather than dry. It's not that forgiving in that a moisturised, smooth canvas is required for best results, otherwise it will pick up dry patches and highlight them. The texture and the way it applies reminds me a bit of CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. It's not YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat, a foundation that instantly provides a smoothing, soft focus, luminous effect, perking up tired, dull skin. Sure, there's luminosity in the sense that the complexion is evened out and subtly highlighted from within, but there's no translucent, light-reflecting plumpness. Call me crazy, but the finish is fairly flat and matte to my eyes. Apart from the scant coverage, another unexpected aspect of the foundation is it doesn't live up to its "Luminous Silk" name.
