Easy Chic by Giorgio Armani for fall-winter 2012-2013

For winter 2013, Giorgio Armani draws a “no complex” style, for confident women who play with men dress codes humorously. The collection shows contrasts with these eccentric but still classic women suits, mixing bright, vibrant colors: poppy, orange and fuchsia with grey shades, on Prince of Wales, velvet, silk or organza. The silhouettes go from iron-creased bermuda shorts to skirts and dresses with a precise but edgy design, set off with felt hats and toned down by flat shoes.

In opposition to the these silhouettes, Linda Cantello, International Make Up Artist, imagines for Giorgio Armani, a pale matte skin, subtly rock and glamorous. « Clothes were very colorful so we imagined with Mr Armani a monochrome face, with no blush or contour »

Inspired by the 80’s, the make up is matte black and white. A new conception of the smokey eye, with a matte black “neo classic” look.

First Luminessence, the new brightening and anti-dark spots skincare range, is applied to regenerate skin’s light and obtain a defaultless matte result. Maestro concealer is smoothed on under the eyes and gives the last touch to a unified skin.

The « smokey eye » is reinvented with a black shadow swept around the eye in a "teardrop" shape, stretched to the inside of the eyelid and under the eye.

The color is defined and softened with a white liner applied on top of the upper eyelid emphasizing the C shape. The anthracite grey pencil #4 is faded with a brush on the arch of the eyebrow, the latter being emphasized with a black pencil.

To contrast and soften the look, a matte soft dusty rose, Rouge d’Armani #526, is applied on the lips with the fingertips.
