Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (£44.50) is one of the most popular makeup-artist-recommended foundations. "It does what it says on the bottle," Gallagher says. "It's very lightweight [and] gives your skin a lovely luminosity without being overly shiny. It has an eggshell-type finish, which means it photographs beautifully."
Ruby Hammer, MBE, holds this as her all-time-favourite bridal foundation, noting that "it looks really, really good in any light and also when being photographed." Both makeup artists say that it's one of the few foundations that are incredibly buildable without ever feeling cakey. "It also feels nice and light for the bride, so she won't feel overwhelmed or heavy," Hammer says. Parmar echoes this: "It's lightweight but has coverage and is buildable."
