Giorgio Armani‘s summer 2012 collection, Bronze Color, takes the beauty of the Caribbean waters and puts it right into this makeup. These products go beyond making you look pretty; they also double as little works of art for your vanity or bathroom countertop. Here’s the lowdown on what’s in this lineup.
Eye Palette in Ecailles Black Pearl ($95, LE, pictured above): Armani’s website describes this eyeshadow quad as “deep sea blue, algae, lagoon turquoise, and shimmering, crest-of-a-wave white.” Inspired by the cool seafoam green and turquoise hues of the world’s prettiest, clearest oceans, this palette will light up your eyes in summertime shades of blue.
Eye Designing Palette in Ecailles Mediterranea ($59) features inky navy, bone beige, and 2 shades of pearlized blue-grey. This shadow brings more focus to the lashline, as the darker colors are intended to line eyes
Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow ($32): These are like little pots of heaven for your eyes–the color and texture are just amazing. The marbling gives each pot a whole new life when you swirl a brush or your fingertip over the surface. The intensity is just right; you can layer it on thick for more drama, but it also blends beautifully so you can fade it out if you like a more transparent finish. I like dabbing these on my lids with my fingers, then easing the color out (almost in a wing shape) with a blending brush. It creates a smoky, sultry effect. Clockwise from top left: Obsidian Black, Madre Perla, Obsidian Grey, Ecailles.
