The Giorgio Armani Spring Summer 2016 Runway makeup look

Milan Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2016

THE BEAUTY LOOK BY LINDA CANTELLO, INTERNATIONAL MAKE-UP ARTIST GIORGIO ARMANI

FIL ROUGE
Red: the subtle thread leading a silent revolution that brings a breath of the unexpected to the world of Giorgio Armani. It makes a statement about a new femininity: it is strong and powerful, without relinquishing the possibility of soft understatement. Sensuality is here, but never in a way that is unsophisticated.
Linda Cantello, International Make-up Artist Giorgio Armani, develops a new make-up look: "Inspired by the Fil Rouge collection, I love the idea of a softly ethereal pearly grey eye with a myriad of reflexions, anchored by the newness of geranium red lashes. Worn together with a rosy, healthy summer complexion, accentuated by a pinkish blush, and finished by a softly flushed mouth."

THE ARMANI RUNWAY MAKE-UP COLLECTION
For many seasons, Giorgio Armani Beauty has created the Lab Armani Runway, a unique tool designed for use backstage at Giorgio Armani fashion shows. Composed of a range of pigments and bases, the Armani Runway Lab enables Linda Cantello to create colours live backstage.

Since the Spring Summer 2015 season Giorgio Armani Beauty is making the products formulated by the Armani Runway Lab available to its customers.

The ARMANI RUNWAY Spring Summer 2016 Make-up Collection is a range of four products in exclusive shades: a couture face-and-eye PALETTE (three eye-shadows and a blush), an EYE TINT, an ECSTASY LACQUER, and a NAIL LACQUER, all created backstage. The make-up seen on the runway will be available in a limited edition in selected stores from February 2016 at the same time as the matching fashion collection.

Giorgio Armani Beauty will launch in March 2016 a new innovative skincare range with ARMANI PRIMA, an advanced skincare line for all-day makeup glow. With ARMANI PRIMA, skin is flawless, radiant, hydrated and touch-up free all day long.

Blend softly over cheekbones the ARMANI RUNWAY SS16 BLUSH to create a healthy glow
Finish by powedering lightly on T-zone when needed with LUMINOUS SILK COMPACT in shade 2.

BROWS
Eyebrows are natural, filled softly with EYE&BROW MAESTRO in shades matching the hair color.

EYES
Create a wash of grey by mixing the custom-made shades of ARMANI RUNWAY SS16 PALETTE - a trio of iridescent eyeshadows: pearl, pearl grey, pearl copper. Blend it over eye lids, onto the outer corner and under the eyes.
