Giorgio Armani ''Effetto Nudo ''

 The Giorgio Armani Privé Fall Winter 2013/2014 Paris show marked the return of a central theme in the Maestro’s work: Nude. More than just a shade, the make-up look interpreted by Linda Cantello for “Effetto Nudo” is a color philosophy that goes back to 1930s elegance with a touch of Hollywood glamour. After introducing the nude in fashion and cosmetics, Giorgio Armani now innovates with a translucent and luminous look, which is both feminine and captivating, reinvented in modern romanticism. 

EFFETTO NUDO unveils this neo-nude by Armani… shimmering with elusive shades. The Maestro alone holds their secret. A subtle balance of undefinable tones between shade and light, cold and warm.

After CC creams , now lipsticks CC !!

The BB creams came  a couple years ago and now there is no closet or bathroom toiletry bag that does not have one of this product . 

Specifically, the first CC lipstick now launched by Giorgio Armani. This is the Rouge Ecstasy (thus ask to stand and not lipstick CC!) While the initials of the words derived from Care + Color. What differentiates it from the rest is that it combines the moisturizing agents with the cosmetic properties of a balm - cluster "Melting Cream Complex" - combined with bold colors.

In simpler words, it is a super sophisticated lip balm with very, very intense and deep color and aging effects (when we get older our lips weaken and become thin lines).

The Rouge Ecstasy will find them in 36 colors, priced at € 32.50 ( is not a simple lipstick!) And if you are looking to test out the perfect berry no 400!

The Maestro did the miracle!

With 30% less than conventional powder compact, focuses on the basics: powder that reflects light. Free from all unnecessary ingredients, this creamy compact is not even remotely greasy and becomes one with the skin, leaving a fresh, light feel in the face, invisible coverage and luminosity. The rich but very fine texture resembling a delicate and transparent organza: embracing the face with a delicate, luminous veil.

See what dictated the make up artists for your winter makeup

October has came and with it came the first autumn gentle rain. Time then to leave in your drawers pink and coral lip gloss and you informed on trends in makeup this winter.

                                                                        
1. Lips wine-colored

If possible, your point is your lips, then invest in a dark burgundy tint lipstick and you will already be in fashion. For a seductive and quite dynamic style, lips the color of red wine has been a hallmark in several catwalks, such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi's and Vera Wang.

2 . Cat eye in different version

 This year do not need to hide your love for black eyeliner, since it is the product that you absolutely must have in your toiletry bag this year. Winter ... cat eyes in makeup is more intense and the line of eyeliner wider for a more dramatic look.

3 . Grunge is back

For you fans of Grunge, you are left stuck in the 90s and ... Nirvana, it's time that you'll still be in fashion. The sloppy version of smokey eyes makeup is a must along with dark lips and white skin.

4. Shadows in bright colors

If dark shades beckon you ... depression, then the solution is intense and bright shades that are not in classic winter shades. Try bright purple or bright burgundy and will not miss.

    

                                   

The 10 Most Unbelievably Long-Wearing Lip Colors

There was a time long-wearing lipstick had the consistency of Crayola markers—without the color selection. Happily, times have changed. 

  

LIPSTICK

M.A.C. PRO LONGWEAR LIPCREME

The creamy formula  feels moisturizing and has a soft sheen. To boost endurance, try this trick: Coat lips with color, then kiss both sides of an oil-blotting sheet. "This lifts excess moisture but leaves behind rich pigment, Then, add another coat.

LIPSTICK

STILA STAY ALL DAY LIQUID LIPSTICK

The Energizer Bunny of lip colors, this heavily-pigmented liquid formula! To take off long-wear shades, slicking on Vaseline or baby oil and letting it sit for a few minutes. "It will break down the formula and make it much easier to remove".

LIPSTICK

WET N' WILD MEGA LAST LIP COLOR

It costs less than two euros , but this drugstore lip color—in Don't Blink Pink—packs a serious punch: It saturated our lips with so much color that we didn't need to touch up until lunchtime. Paint it on with a lip brush instead of applying right from the tube. "Painting it on with a brush allows the color to sink into the texture of your lips" .

LIP STAIN

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE PUR COUTURE À LÈVRES GLOSSY STAIN

With the opacity of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss, and the staying power of a stain, this Best of Beauty–winning hybrid is completely and utterly awesome, especially in shades 12 (pink-coral) and17 (fuchsia). Once the formula, a blend of water, pigments, and polymer ethylcellulose (which is where the shine comes from), is applied to lips, the water evaporates, allowing polymer film and pigments to sink in. Silicone then rises to the surface to give a reflective finish, and oils form a barrier that prevents fading for up to six hours. That's the back story—but also, who cares, because it's absolutely stunning.

LIP STAIN

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS LIP TAR

Why anyone thought "tar" was a good word to slap on a lipstick. But this stain totally delivers: It sinks into lips without any tackiness and has barely any transfer throughout the day. "These intense formulas set very quickly though, so apply to the center of the mouth first,". "Then, rub and roll lips together to spread the color to the outer edges. You can go back and perfect the edges with a lip brush."

LIP STAIN

REVLON JUST BITTEN LIPSTAIN + BALM

This dual-ended pen is so easy to apply—it's almost a shame you'll only have to do it once. Swipe the marker, shown here in Gothic, over lips for light coverage that's lightweight, then top with the moisturizing balm.

LIP GLOSS

CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE EXTRAIT DE GLOSS PURE SHINE INTENSE COLOUR LONG WEAR LIP GLOSS

Glosses are usually known for their shine, not their staying power. Though the glassy finish on this one started to fade after our first cocktail, the color Imaginaire (shown) and Insouciance—lasted through two (OK, fine, maybe more than two). But like any lip product, it won't stick to dry, flaky skin. Slough off any flakes with a scrub like Fresh Sugar Lip Polish, then go over them with a moisturizing balm. Let it sink into lips for a few minutes and blot with a tissue before painting on any color.

LIP GLOSS

L'ORÉAL PARIS INFALLIBLE NEVER FAIL LIPGLOSS

"Usually, the more matte a lip color is, the longer it will last,". But this former Best of Beauty Breakthrough winner (shown here in Barely Nude) is different: L'Oréal scientists added shine to the traditional long-wear polymer. "This gloss can deliver high shine while still clinging to the mouth for as long as the old, dry long-lasting ones," says cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson. "Plus, the film that forms over the lips is fine and flexible, so the formula doesn't feel thick or tight."

LIPS GLOSS

LANCÔME LA LAQUE FEVER LIP GLOSS ULTIMATE LASTING FULL COLOR LIPSHINE

"The glosses that last the longest are made with silicone,". This one's silicone base forms a barrier on lips that traps in pigment. It's concentrated with so much color (shown here in shimmery Plum Savvy) that one application stood strong through the evening.

LIP PENCIL

NARS VELVET MATTE LIP PENCIL

"Pigment-rich shades like bright and dark red are also the most long-wearing,". And this smooth crayon (shown here in Damned) provides enough budge-proof color to wear on its own. "It's such a modern way to wear lip color,". But be careful about layering on too much balm or gloss: "The more moisture you put on top, the more it breaks down the pigment, and the more its likely to fade or smear."
