I have very little experience with the Giorgio Armani makeup collection since it is very hard for me to find in the area that I live in. But that doesn't mean that I am not going to go on their website and drool over the latest collections and products. And since I have so few times that I can buy these products in person, I have to research everything on the website before I can head up to New York City to go shopping at the Saks makeup counters. At the moment, I am planning a trip up there in April/May time frame so I guess now would be a good time to do some browsing...Armani's Spring 2011 collection is named La Femme Bleue Armani. "Featuring colors from the iconic Armani Touareg Blue runway show - never before has makeup been so linked to fashion".
We have four new items in this collection; two for eyes, one for lips, and the last one for the face...
La Femme Bleue Eye Palette - La Femme Bleue, 4 color eye palette, as seen on the Giorgio Armani S/S 2011 runway. Four distinct jewel tones that apply on sheer for a soft daytime look but are buildable for an extravagant runway smoky eye. Pressed in a metallic signature palette. Giorgio Armani's Micro-Fil formula combines colour impact and exceptional layering properties thanks to micronized pigments that can be layered and blended infinitely. They form a fine film of rich colour intensity and create a translucent luminous effect.
- Deep blue lavender/bright teal/light silver shimmer/deep charcoal
La Femme Bleue Long Wear Waterproof Eye Pencil - A soft, long wear waterproof pencil that glides on perfectly and doesn't smudge throughout the day. High-tech compact colour morphs into a fluid substance upon application, creating an eye pencil that is a cross between a liner and a crayon. Available in three colours to perfect your La Femme Bleue look.
- Black - black
- Bark Brown - medium brown
- Green Leaf - medium forest green
Rouge d'Armani Spring 2011 - Now in a new shade, this limited edition Rouge d'Armani lipstick ignites the face with intense and vibrant lip color. This subtle colorful metallic finish off-sets the darker smoky eye.
- Dawn Pink - medium shimmering rose
Fluid Sheer Spring 2011 - Fluid Sheer dresses skin in an illuminating veil of radiance. This unique, translucent formula is avaiable in a range of versatile hues including makeup base shades, correcting shades, and radiance boosting shades. Blend your favorite Fluid Sheer with foundation to add radiance, polish, and sculpting definition to your complexion. Or use it alone as a makeup base. All skin types. Perfects, sculpts, and illuminates skin. Complete and versatile shade range. Doubles as eye shadow base, blush, or bronzer. Sheer lightweight texture and coverage.
- Pale Shimmering Rose - pale glowing pink
Armani states that these products can be used to create a soft daytime look, especially the eye shadow palette. I am not really seeing it since those shades are very pigmented and I feel that this collection is more appropriate to smoky night look. That being said, this eye shadow palette is still not a winner for me, I don't do blue eye makeup and so this one just won't work out. The only two products that I am interested in are the Rouge d'Armani lipstick shade and the new Fluid Sheer shade. Both are pink and sheer so they will be great products for my skintone.
