The Makeup Looks of Venice by Giorgio Armani
With the occasion of the renewed partnership between Armani Beauty and the 76th Venice International Film Festival, Linda Cantello has created two exclusive beauty looks for Barbara Palvin: first Luminous Glamor, for a day out in Venice, and Star Power, for a night on the red carpet.
“Cinema and the enigmatic beauty of its stars have always been a big part of Armani’s beauty DNA, influenced by Giorgio Armani’s strong bond with icons of the past and the present,” said Linda Cantello, International Make Up Artist for Giorgio Armani, stressing once again how the silver screen and the famous Maison have always been linked by a red thread – destiny, lipstick and red carpet intertwine once again in the magical background of Venice.
The first look, “Luminous Glamor,” is ideal to be flaunted in the Film Festival atmosphere but also versatile.
Skincare remains one of the key steps in makeup, so the skin is nourished with the Prima Glow-on moisturizer, allowing five minutes before proceeding with the actual makeup. Skin imperfections are first corrected with the High Precision Retouch concealer and the skin is then smoothed with the Luminous Silk foundation. For a touch of freshness on cheeks, temples and chin, apply Neo Nude A-Blush in #53 and then fix the look by applying the Neo Nude Fusion Powder in shade #4.
Outline the eye with the new Eye Tint in the shade #52: this way the eyes should appear elongated, thanks also to the application of the same dove grey eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eyes. For the lips, the Lip Maestro was applied in the exclusive shade Mostra #400G.
The second look, “Star power,” winks to the Venetian night that every September paints the city red carpet and lights it up with stars and talent. The steps, summarized briefly, proceed as follows:
Kick off by moisturizing the skin with the Prima Glow-On moisturizer and allowing it five minutes for the skin to absorb. Subsequently, skin imperfections are minimized with the Power Fabric concealer, then the Power Fabric foundation is applied, choosing an appropriate shade among the 23 available ones. For dry skin, there’s the option of the Designer Lift foundation (available in 7 shades). Finish off where necessary using Neo-Nude Contour in shade #20. For the eyes, the eye pencil in dark blue Smooth Silk Eye Pencil (in the shade n. 3) draws an imperfect and blurred line under the eye: make sure there is a clean space between the line and the eyelashes. Apply the black shade from Eyes to Kill Quattro palette, the nr. 1 “Notorious” one, and follow the line under the eye, then blur. The Eyes to Kill mascara is layered on the lashes. Add shine to the eyebrows using Eyes to Kill Stellar in the #1 “Midnight” shade
To add a little more color to lips and cheeks, it was applied the Lip Maestro #524 from the Matte Nature collection: it works both as a lipstick and a blush.

Margot Robbie as the new face of Gabrielle Essence
Starting September 1st, the new fragrance Gabrielle Chanel Essence will be available, another tassel that represents Gabrielle Chanel’s complex and fascinating personality. The Maison announced that the face of the fragrance will be actress Margot Robbie. Created by Olivier Polge in collaboration with the Laboratoire Parfums Chanel, this new olfactory interpretation of Gabrielle Chanel reveals a more voluptuous and opulent facet, a scent that is sunny and enveloping. Composed around the four white flowers dear to the founder of the Maison (jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and tuberose), the Essence version of the fragrance gives a fundamental role to the Tuberose harvested in the region of Grasse.
Margot could only be the right choice, combining radiant and luminous beauty with talent. In addition to the artistic skills that made her famous and the actress’ immediately distinguishable beauty, the Maison was attracted by the personality of the Australian actress and producer who, after successes like “I, Tonya,” will soon see on the big screens in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once upon a time In Hollywood.”

Pro Filt’r Primer and Hydrating Longwear Foundation by Fenty Beauty
This brand new highly moisturizing foundation, suitable for normal to dry skin, has a medium to full coverage for excellent payoff and a natural finish. It is available in the same 50 shades of the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation.
Recognizing the need for a Pro Filt’r moisturizing formula that adapts not only to the season, which calls for lighter textures, but also to the needs of normal to dry skin, Fenty Beauty has created a moisturizing foundation that offers a long resistance and a natural finish: recognizable by the new packaging with applicator, which makes it perfect even on vacation, this foundation shows the brand’s desire to continue to dare and experiment. The formula contains Grape Seed Oil and Sodium Hyaluronate to quench the skin and make it soft all day long. Just like the original Pro Filt’r, the new Pro Filt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation has a water-resistant formula that instantly uniforms the skin without clogging the pores, while the very light texture adapts to the season and the need for an impalpable finish.
Furthermore, Fenty has recently presented another exciting novelty: the innovative Pro Filt’r anti-shine primer, perfect to combat shiny skin all summer long and to mask imperfections.
This matte primer mainly fills the pores, minimizing them, and smoothes the skin to facilitate the application of the makeup and promote a longer hold for the foundation, with an immediate blurred and a wonderful Photoshop effect that elevates this product as a must-try novelty.

Giorgio Armani: New Color Sketch
Color Sketcher is the new satin-finish color from Giorgio Armani, available in 10 shades with a multitasking spirit and a flawless adaptability to lips and cheeks. Simple and elegant both in colors and application, the Color Sketcher is a tool that will revolutionize your make-up on-the-go thanks to the practical and convenient twist-up pencil (which doesn’t need a penknife, making it versatile and always ready) and the formula is easy to blend but error-proof.
The idea behind this makeup product – which comes very handy during the summer period – is the artistic inspiration: the Color Sketcher steps in the shoes of the artist’s pencil while the face is a canvas, interpreting beauty as a preparatory sketch in a wonderful painting.
This product and its creamy texture allows everyone to design a monochromatic look on lips and cheeks, in wearable tones that enhance natural beauty.

The New Ren Clear Calm Treatment
The London-based brand presents a new and delicate treatment that helps the skin to be perfect and regulates sebum production, minimizing the risk of arid or peeling skin. The brand has always kept a close eye on the ecological discourse and, also in this case, we find a packaging that respects the environment thanks to the 100% recycled plastic cap and the bottle which, instead is 50% made out of recycled plastic to maintain all the properties of the product inside. The ingredients are the result of the incessant research of Ren laboratories and among them we can find: Salicylic acid of natural origin, which promotes cell renewal, reducing imperfections and leaving the skin free from impurities. Also, the Complex based on Maritime Pine and thyme promotes a sensation of relief for the skin, speeding up the healing time and avoiding scars.
In addition, we find corn and wheat-extracted Xylitol, for hydration, and the prebiotic extract of Chlorella which, instead, rebalances the functions of the microbiome, avoiding irritation and boosting healthy and vital skin.

Caudalíe presents the new addition to the Vinopure range
Vinopure is the famous Caudalíe range designed for combination and oily skins. Recently, the brand added a new refreshing gel, the Gelée Nettoyante Purifiante, without sulfates or soap that deeply cleanses pores without drying the skin. The formula contains the new patent developed by the Caudalíe Laboratories, the Caudalíe Complex which for the very first time combines the antioxidant grape-seed polyphenols to 6 essential purifying oils: lavender and melissa, lemongrass, geranium, peppermint and rosemary.
The union of these principles creates an effective formula both against the proliferation of bacterias that favor acne and the oxidation of sebum, which is the main cause of pore inflammation and dull skin color. Following suit, we find the Organic grape water, moisturizing, soothing and antioxidant as well as one of the signature ingredients of the Vinopure line, and the Rosa Bio hydrolat which aids skin brightness.
In this delicate gel we can also find exfoliating and 100% natural Salicylic Acid which is obtained from gaultheria, a plant originating from Asia and extracted in its pure state: this way, the pores are unclogged and less visible.
