Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation

The luxury original: Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation, $69

What matches: Built the same way: a water-in-silicone emulsion of water, dimethicone, isododecane and glycerin, held by the same emulsifier (cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone), clay thickener and magnesium sulfate, for a satin glow at medium, buildable coverage.

What it does worse: Armani adds alcohol, sorbitol, niacinamide and fragrance and makes 44 shades, while e.l.f. adds emollient esters, boron nitride for slip and a 1% hibiscus complex, leaves out fragrance and makes 36.
