This week, Giorgio Armani Beauty unveils the secret to achieving the perfect complexion with the debut of the “Armani A-List Essentials”.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Celebrity Makeup Artist Tim Quinn has hand selected his favorite pieces from the collection that are essential to his highly coveted makeup kit. “There are a few products that I use on all of my celebrity clients – from Sophia Bush to January Jones – in order to achieve that flawless complexion. I always start with the Fluid Master Primer to create a smooth surface and follow with a foundation that is appropriate for both my client’s skin tone and complexion. I finish by applying Fluid Sheer liquid highlighter along the outer edge of the eye and along the tops of the cheek bones to create that perfect luminous glow. The one tool that I use with all three products and absolutely cannot live without is our Blender Brush – it’s my secret weapon!”

The Armani A-List Essentials will be making its debut in NYC at the Giorgio Armani Beauty Counter at Bloomingdales 59th Street on Wednesday, October 7th, through Thursday, October 8th. During this exclusive period, clients will receive a special offer: with the purchase of a foundation, Fluid Master Primer and Fluid Sheer customers will receive a free Blender Brush (Tim’s beauty must-have!) while supplies last. Now customers can get red-carpet ready with their own makeup bag – and a few secret weapons!
