Lauren Sanchez's must-have wedding foundation is now 20% off
Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos wedding weekend is underway and Lauren's MUA revealed that the only foundation she uses is the celeb-loved Armani Silk – and it's now 20% off
There's only one thing that anyone can talk about this weekend; the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. No matter how you feel about the couple, it's hard to deny that Lauren's bridal glamour has been flawless for every event so far in their three day long Venetian wedding party.
Whilst the bride has shared details of her dress designer (Dolce & Gabbana) and tagged her glam squad – hairstylist Rick Henry and makeup artist Laura Merle – the products used to create her flawless wedding look have so far remained under wraps. However, a little bit of sleuthing revealed that there's only one foundation Lauren wears, and it's a safe bet it's what was used for her radiant bridal makeup.
In a recent article by The Telegraph, Lauren's must-have foundation for every occasion was revealed to be the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, which is currently on sale down from £47 to £37.60. Lauren's other trusted makeup artist, Buster Knight, has almost exclusively used the Armani foundation every time he's done her glam for everything from Cannes to Paris.
In her interview with Vogue, Lauren also gave a preview into the inspiration behind her wedding day beauty look, saying: 'Hardly any glam, the least amount of make-up. This is part of the evolution. I want it as natural as you can get it.'
Lauren's beloved Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is perfect for embodying that look, giving a hydrated, glowy and lightweight finish that looks naturally radiant. It comes in 40 different shades, and has medium buildable coverage whilst still looking and feeling lightweight.
It uses clever technologies like Micro-fil to sculpt and brighten up your complexion as you wear it, as well as improving the look of texture and imperfections. It's also oil-free and ultra-hydrating, which is essential in the Venice heat.
The Armani Silk foundation might be Lauren's go-to, but it's not the only one around to achieve that same radiant glow. The NARS Light Reflecting Foundation is a great substitute, combining skincare and makeup for a breathable, lightweight feel that actively improves your skin as you wear it. It's also currently on sale down from £41 to £32.80.
For a budget-friendly option, the L'Oréal Paris Foundation is said to be a great alternative, with 46 shades to choose from and giving you a natural glow whilst allowing your skin to breathe with a non-comedogenic formula. It's now £9.99, down from £11.98 on Amazon.
However the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation has an impressive roster of A-lister fans behind it, as it's not just Lauren who's a die-hard fan of the foundation. Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Meghan Markle, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter are all said to be huge fans of it, and considering how flawless all of their skin looks, it's probably a safe assumption they're onto something.

'Kisses yes, Bezos No,' protesters say, as Bezos wedding bonanza divides Venice
VENICE, Italy — Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets on Saturday to say 'No' to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-anticipated wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. On Friday, the world's fourth-richest man and his bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos tied the knot during a private ceremony with around 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio. The wedding, however, divided Venice, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party on Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colorful banners reading 'Kisses Yes, Bezos No' and 'No Bezos, no War.' The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. 'We are here to continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people … while the conditions of this city remain precarious,' said Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators. The protest organizers had welcomed news that Saturday's wedding party, to be initially held on in central Venice, was later moved to a former medieval shipyard, the Arsenale, amid high security. Bezos donated 1 million euros ($1.17 million) each to three environmental research organizations working to preserve Venice, according to Corila, the Venetian environmental research association. But many protesters saw the move as a clear example of 'greenwashing.' 'We want a free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens. … Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos' conscience,' said Flavio Cogo, a Venetian activist who joined Saturday's protest. Details of the exclusive wedding ceremony Friday night were a closely guarded secret, until Sánchez Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey and NFL great Tom Brady, along with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Orlando Bloom, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates and top socialites, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children also joined the celebrations. The bride and groom stayed at the Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where Bezos posed for photos and Sanchez Bezos blew kisses to the press. 'The planet is burning but don't worry, here's the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sánchez,' read one protest slogan, a reference to the bride's reported wedding weekend wardrobe. It featured a mermaid-lined wedding gown by Dolce & Gabbana and other Dolce Vita-inspired looks by Italian designers, including Schiaparelli and Bottega Veneta. The city administration has strongly defended the nuptials as in keeping with Venice's tradition as an open city that has welcomed popes, emperors and ordinary visitors alike for centuries.

Bezos wedding celebrations met with protests in Venice
Hundreds of protesters marched through the narrow streets of Venice on Saturday to protest against the three-day wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Letting off smoke flares, blaring loud music and chanting 'Bezos out of the lagoon', they marched from Venice's railway station to the Rialto Bridge, which spans the Grand Canal. They carried placards which read 'Money Can't Buy Style', 'F--- Capitalism' and 'No Space for Bezos' – a play on the Amazon founder's Blue Origin space venture and his new wife's recent space flight. The estimated 500 marchers were shadowed by a small phalanx of riot police equipped with batons, helmets and shields. The noisy demonstration came as Mr Bezos, his new wife and their celebrity guests prepared to take water taxis from their luxury hotels to the Venetian Arsenal, the city's historic shipbuilding complex, for a final wedding celebration – a culmination of the three-day nuptials that have divided the city. 'Bezos is acting like he's king of the world' Some have hailed the economic impact of the event and the attention it has brought. But activists accused Mr Bezos, the third wealthiest person in the world, of treating Venice as a rich man's playground, a picturesque backdrop to a wedding believed to have cost between 40 and 50 million euros. The demonstrators are furious about the security arrangements and the fact that some parts of the city have been closed off to the public to allow access for Mr Bezos and his 250 guests, who include Ivanka Trump, Queen Rania of Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio and the Kardashians. 'Our message is that everyone is welcome in Venice but not people who create disruption like he has done,' said Oliveiro Cassala, a 43-year-old protester who works in a hotel in Venice. 'He came to Venice acting as if he was king of the world. He thinks he can pay money and do whatever he likes. But we are proud people in Venice, and we don't like it.' He carried a placard which said that Mr Bezos' donation of three million euros to Venetian causes, from education to the environment, was paltry. 'With an estimated net worth of $230 billion, this donation represents 0.0013 per cent of his wealth,' he said. 'It's as if he had left a tip of three euros. Money does not buy respect, and Venice deserves much more.' Other placards with messages that read 'Free Palestine' and 'Stop Bombing Iran' were paraded down the streets past groups of tourists enjoying the evening sunshine and sipping Aperol Spritz cocktails. Elena Dal Toso, 80, said police had blocked her from walking from her home to a hospital clinic on Thursday evening, when Mr Bezos hosted a gala dinner in the cloister of a historic church called La Madonna dell'Orto 'They told me I couldn't pass – in my own city. It's fine to come here and get married, plenty of people do it, but not to cause this kind of inconvenience,' she said. 'We already have enough problems, like lack of housing and too much dependence on tourism. I feel like the city has been taken over these past few days.' Alice Bazzoli, another activist, said Venice had been 'exploited' by Mr Bezos and his wealthy friends, with mega-yachts moored in the lagoon, private jets landing at Marco Polo airport, and some parts of the city cordoned off. 'Protestors don't represent the majority' Police officers and Italian soldiers guarded narrow alleyways to Venice's centuries-old Jewish Ghetto to block any pro-Palestinian protesters from veering off the main route of the march. There were more police on standby in blue and white motor launches and on jet skis, deployed to surrounding canals. But many Venetians have welcomed the Bezos wedding, saying it would bring huge economic benefits to Venice. 'These protesters don't represent the majority,' said Matteo, who runs a trattoria near the Venetian Arsenal, the venue for Saturday night's celebrations. 'I think it's good that he came here. He's so rich, he could have chosen anywhere in the world. He could have gone to New York or St Tropez or Fiji. But he chose Venice. That says something about what a special place it is.' As wedding guests, including Bill Gates, Orlando Bloom and Oprah Winfrey, headed to the Venetian Arsenal, amid unconfirmed rumours that they would be serenaded by Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga, it remained a mystery as to who would actually provide the evening's entertainment. The menu was to consist of specialities from the Veneto region, including baccalà, or salt cod, and tiramisù. Paparazzi faced a stiff challenge in trying to access the venue – the Venetian Arsenal is surrounded by high crenellated walls and there are just a few entrances, all of them by boat. It evolved over the centuries as a place to construct merchant vessels and warships, built to fend off pirates, commercial rivals and marauding Turkish fleets. 'This won't change anything' Among those who welcomed the presence of Mr Bezos and his high-profile guests was the owner of the legendary Harry's Bar, famous for hosting generations of celebrities, on the banks of the Grand Canal. Mr Bezos and his new bride dropped into the bar on Saturday afternoon, the day after they had exchanged vows on the tiny island of San Giorgio. The Amazon founder is 'a private individual who has come here to get married. I can't see any problem with that. Venice is Venice and this event won't change anything,' Arrigo Cipriani, the owner of Harry's told the newspaper Corriere della Sera. He said only a tiny minority of the city's 48,000 inhabitants were upset, adding: 'And I'd like to know if there is a single person among them who has not bought something on Amazon.' Luigi Brugnaro, the pro-business, centre-Right mayor of Venice, lobbied for the wedding celebrations to be held in the city. 'I understand the protests that have been organised by students – we were all young once. They are idealists and they want to organise these striking actions, especially when there is a chance of attracting lots of media attention. I don't agree with them but I understand their motivations. I was also a rabble rouser when I was young.' But he said it was unfair to criticise the security measures that were put in place, given the international situation and the profile of the wedding guests. He accused Left-wing opposition councillors of trying to exploit the wedding for political ends. 'It is not normal that they criticise the number of police on the ground when, until a few days ago, we risked a world war breaking out and we have here in the city the daughter of the president of the United States.' He rejected criticism that the soul of Venice was being eroded by mass tourism, the proliferation of Airbnb properties and population decline, saying: 'The problem is that around 300 to 400 Venetians die each year and not enough babies are being born. This is affecting the whole of Italy, not just Venice.'
