Luminous Silk Acqua - Highlighter

MISS

wasnt my favorite product of Armani, which i usually LOVE them all. I received shade #2 Stellar & as beautiful as the color and pigment is, i dont like it... its wayyy to shiny & glittery for me. i feel like i used my little girls makeup when it was on. i dont recommend, or recommend taking some of the shiny out.

Not a must have

Weather or not you like this will depend on if you like a subtle highlight or one that is more chunky glitter. This is the latter, which is not my cup of tea. It’s pretty, but being 40 years old, I’m past the glittery highlight phase and want something more natural looking. It honestly doesn’t seem like a luxury brand at all, I think you can find plenty of options that are way cheaper that would give an identical result. Nothing super special about this in my opinion.

Not a "MUST HAVE"

I'm tickled by the five-star reviews left for this product. It is overpriced and low value. The formula is drying with low, practically non-existent shimmer. The formula is drying. The packaging is basic. I highly recommend trying on in store. Do not.make a blind purchase!

Very glittery, lots of transfer, not impressed.

I dislike giving bad reviews, but I am disappointed with the product. I was sent one to review, but if I had purchased it I would return it, even if it were half the price. It is a lovely color, and the large doe-foot applicator is decent (though the Armani symbol is only on the front but when screwing the cap on there's a 50% chance it will end up in back, (which on one hand isn't the end of the world, but on the other is a bit tedious for a higher end product)). But it's the formula I don't really like. It is very glittery rather than shimmery, (which some people enjoy but isn't my preference for a highlighter), but my main problem is that the glitter doesn't stay put. Do not even lightly brush your face or else it will come off on your hand/napkin/clothing and then get glitter on everything else in your vicinity. I've tried a lot of highlighters, and I wouldn't be able to tell that this formula isn't just a random one sold in drugstores. It might work for you if you have the right setting primers and sprays to help it along, are really good about not touching it at all, or just don't mind glitter getting everywhere.

Good

I received this to test and give my review. Honestly it is really pretty, doesn’t feel heavy, has a nice subtle shine to it. It serves multiple purposes which makes it worth it. I would recommend if you can afford it.

Gorgeous, subtle, and buildable

I absolutely love this liquid highlighter! Since it’s in a container about the size of a lip gloss, it’s so convenient and easy to throw in your bag or your pocket. It’s a sheer formula that applies so smoothly but it’s buildable and versatile. I use it on my cheekbones and even as a shimmery eyeshadow

Beautiful

The Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter delivers a radiant, dewy glow with its lightweight, liquid formula. Easy to blend, it adds a natural luminosity without feeling heavy or sticky. Perfect for enhancing your complexion, it layers beautifully over makeup.

Not for me

I was really disappointed with this highlighter. It was completely blah—no shine, no shimmer, nothing. It didn’t enhance or do anything at all, really.

Buildable formula

The Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter goes on easily and provides a delicate shimmer shine highlight. I prefer more neutral shades, so the gold color of Stellar was perfect for my makeup routine to provide a more subtle highlight. I usually use powder highlights but I did prefer this liquid formula and the ease of use with the applicator. It is not overly pigmented, but a buildable formula if you want a more dramatic shine highlight. I do like it, but faced some issues with needing to add more than I normally do to have a more pronounced highlight. Overall, great formula, buildable, and pretty color.

nice highlight

easy to blend but im not a big fan of the applicator

Absolutely love!!

Absolutely beautiful. Can be used on its own on a no makeup day for an added sparkle or to finish off a full-glam makeup look. Love the creamy texture and color! Looks so natural and glamorous. Absolutely love!!

Must have in beauty box!

After using this product the last few weeks, I’m loving the results! Gorgeous payoff with little amount of product. Only con is a little bit sticky. Otherwise, super cute, especially on eye lids for a little pizzaz.
