Rouge d’Armani 401: The Perfect Holiday Lipstick

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!”

Rouge d’Armani: Color ecstasy. Pure, luxurious ecstasy in lip color. More than color, more than comfort, more than contour, more than hold. More than a lipstick.

Rouge d’Armani hasn’t even hit counters and has already become a cult favorite among beauty insiders – editors, makeup artists and celebrities alike. For Fashion’s Night Out, the Giorgio Armani Beauty counter was a hot spot on Vogue’s “Beauty Itinerary” with Rouge d’Armani 600 selected as a favorite by Vogue editors, while later that month Harper’s Bazaar declared Rouge d’Armani 500 a “must-have” lipstick. Rouge d’Armani has also become a staple in makeup artists’ kits whose brushes grace some of Hollywood’s hottest stars, including Jennifer Nettles, Jordana Brewster, Taylor Swift and Camilla Belle. Several celebrities have been spotted wearing Rouge d’Armani around town, including Rihanna featuring Rouge d’Armani 401 and Kerry Washington wearing Rouge d’Armani 100 during NYC’s Fashion’s Night Out – it was the perfect long-wear lipstick for the night’s festivities.

Lancôme celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali worked her magic on Fame star Kherington Payne at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere last night. Talking Makeup got on the inside scoop behind the rising star’s graphic, smokey eye, pretty golden skin and shimmery nude mouth.

To start, Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate, which kept Kherington’s skin fresh in the 100 degree heat. Lancôme’s Effacernes in Light Bisque –Vanessa’s favorite formula—was dabbed underneath the eyes. Bobbi Brown’s Foundation Stick was applied on select areas with a small brush and blended with the fingers.

Lancôme’s Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose delivered a glowy look and was accented with Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 on the cheek and brow bones. A dusting of Lancôme’s Photôgenic Sheer Loose Powder, just on the T-zone.

For Kherington’s dramatic eyes, Vanessa layered Shu Uemura’s Pressed Eye Shadow in ME Black #990 and ME Olive #471.

I  was walking along 5th Avenue in New York City this evening. I had to stop my walk with great excitment after seeing a  stunning window display at the Giorgio Armani store. It reminded me how much I adore Giorgio Armani’s latest perfume addition: I’dole d’Armani.

Idole d’Armani smells very elegant (Yes. Elegance has a scent!:) If you’re not into sweet, fruity, or floral perfumes then this exquisite woody fragrance might be the one for you. Idole d’Amani is perfect for a wedding day, special date, or just anytime you want to feel and look glamorous. It has a very distinct scent and stands apart from any other perfumes I know. Every woman should own one classic perfume, Idole d’Armani is a great place to start.

I always remember this quote by Giorgio Armani: “I have always carried with me an ideal of femininity – an irresistible combination of grace, beauty and independent spirit. IDOLE d’ARMANI is my tribute to this ideal, and to women everywhere.”
