MFW Makeup Edition | Giorgio Armani SS/15

GASS15-Press-022

 

At the Giorgio Armani Womenswear SS/15 show for MFW (Milan Fashion Week) held this past September 20, Mr. Armani – the master of exquisite tailoring – presented a collection of dreamy, flowing creations with exceptional detailing in his signature neutral and earth-toned shades, down the runway. Accompanying the fashion, International Makeup Artist for Giorgio Armani, Linda Cantello, created a look on the models that was at once grounded and ethereal, to go with the collection which was inspired by the ‘indecipherable mystery of nature’.

“Dusty sand shades create mysterious shadows around the eyes, highlighted by broken flashes of silver, finished by a unique skin colour with light reflection”

For many seasons now, Giorgio Armani Beauty has created the Armani Runway Lab – 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 (as in, on the spot and completely custom-made).

As of this season (Spring/Summer 2015), Giorgio Armani Beauty will be making the products formulated backstage at the Armani Runway Lab, available for the first time to its customers.

The Armani Runway Makeup Collection is a range of 3 products in exclusive shades: a couture face-and-eye palette, a lipstick, and a nail lacquer. All are born live backstage and will become available to the public only 6 months later. For the very first time, the makeup seen on the Armani runway will be available at selected stores at the same time as the matching collections, twice a year (as in Spring/Summer and again for Fall/Winter). Therefore, the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2015 Runway Makeup Collection will be available for purchase as of February 2015.

Get the look: a step-by-step guide to the SS/15 makeup

SKIN: Prepare the skin with Crema Nera Extrema Supreme Reviving Light Cream. Apply the new Crema Nera Extrema Oil Elixir (coming February 2015) where extra care is needed.

FACE & EYES: Skin is pale, with a translucent matte sand glow. Eyes are the focal point with 3 custom-made eye shadows. Use the deep taupe shade to softly contour eye sockets and underneath. Smudge and blend. Reinforce shadow deepening on the shape of the eye, aiming for a sultry lid. Use the beige shade with a pink gold reflective quality on the eyelid. Finish by applying the silver shade in very thin strokes to create a straight broken line along the lash line. If needed, use the taupe shade to lengthen, strengthen and lengthen the brow.

LIPS: A unique skin colour, which reflects light, applied as a thin layer.

NAILS: Custom-made brown copper shade with a velvet finish for nails (looks very similar to Giorgio Armani Beauty #214 Woodstone (LE), previously reviewed here)
