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.

Makeup Tips: All About Foundation With François Nars

Foundation is one of my favorite thing about makeup! I’m all about getting that flawless skin whether naturally with great skin care, or faking it with the perfect foundation. The right foundation has the power to give you an instant makeover and that wow factor. Needless to say, applying foundation is a very important step in my makeup routine.

Here are some foundation tips from top makeup artist and NARS Cosmetics founder, François Nars:

What is the best way to identify the right foundation for your skin tone?
Natural light! Make sure you are in natural light when choosing a foundation shade. And, it should match perfectly with the base of your neck.

What is the biggest mistake women make when wearing foundation?
Wearing too much foundation or the wrong shade – either too dark or too light. Finding the right shade and right foundation texture is crucial. The skin’s natural highlights should be shining through.

How often/what time of year should a woman have her foundation shade matched?
As often as needed; every time the skin tone changes. You should have several shades of foundation in your makeup wardrobe.

Beat the Heat with Dior sweat-proof makeup tips!

Looking for ways to beat the heat this Summer? Diorshow Celebrity Makeup Artist, Ricky Wilson, offers some beauty tips to keep you looking both pretty and cool when the temperature rises: “Makeup that holds up in high heat situations is never thick or textured. Less is definition more is when you know you are going to sweat. Remember to always blot before powder to eliminate makeup build and creating texture”.

The following are the Dior products Ricky Wilson recommends:

DiorSkin Airflash Spray Foundation: “Sweat proof and transfer resistant. Since it is so light weight and breathable it gives you coverage without breaking down in high heat and humidity.”

Dior Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner in Trinidad Black: “Perfect for lining through eyes. It’s silky smooth and goes on with ease but won’t budge once it sets.”
