Leave it to the Giorgio Armani Beauty creators to consistently come up with new technology in their beauty formulations. Remember how much I loved the waterless foundation known as Maestro Fusion Makeup? It took eight years in the making and was soon in every magazine, on every “Must-Have” list, and also won the Allure 2012 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award.
Now, Giorgio Armani Beauty does it again with Flash Lacquer ($29.00) lipgloss! Available in 36 shades (yes, I said 36 shades), and coming to lips at fine department store counters near you and …

Armani’s Face Fabric Foundation SPF 12 ($49.00) has changed my life! For the past year, I have been on a steady diet of BB cream and loose powder, swearing off traditional makeup. Until now!
Face Fabric Foundation feels like velvet going on, but is weightless and provides great coverage. No powder needed and no shine throughout the day. The shades compliment a wide variety of skin tones. Armani claims its “unique Micro-fil™ formulations bring lightness and fluidity to makeup, allowing infinite blending and layering to enhance the natural glow of the …

I am always looking for a long-wearing eyeliner that glides on silky and is skip-proof. Like others I have fallen for — Giorgio Armani being one of my faves — this new line, COVET, from Anastasia Beverly Hills, is clearly a great one!

The COVET Waterproof Eyeliner ($19.00) is practical. It has a built-in sharpener and once on lasts for hours. Anastasia says it’ll stay on for fourteen hours, yet I wore mine in Vert for ten, until I washed it off. It didn’t budge and can also be used as …

Wow! Do my lashes look long! As you can see from my before and after photos, L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara ($9.95) does what is says — bringing lashes to extreme lengths and intensity. It’s also clump-free, flake-free and smudge-free!

The formula and lash-hugging 200 bristle brush work together to extend lashes from root to tip. They are calling this new formula “liquid extensions.”

Having worked at the cosmetic counters for twenty years, the most troublesome product women have finding is foundation. There are so many kinds, so many colors and so many different ways to apply that learning trigonometry can seem easier. In this article, I hope to demystify this cosmetic staple for you, which can be as simple as 1, 2, 3.
The basic types of foundation are liquid, which come in different versions, either moisturizing and oil-free; powder, which is great to use either alone or on top of …

Along came Lip Maestro! As you all know, I already LOVE the foundation that took eight years in the making, so anything with the word MAESTRO in it now catches my attention. A truly luminous matte lip color, the hues appear to be more radiant and have more depth than what some of us associate with a “matte” lipstick.
Giorgio Armani‘s Lip Maestro ($32.00) is considered an intense, velvet color powered by light and a matte lacquer. It’s combining color via a formula that was exclusively created by Giorgio Armani Beauty; …

BeautyStat told you first! One of the looks BeautyStat editors couldn’t get enough of was the blue eyeshadow look NARS created for the Joy Cioci runway show at NYFW. Blue eyeshadow is going to be big for Spring ’13, but, how to pull it off for an everyday look without looking too 80′s-pop-princess is the tricky part. Luckily, the Giorgio Armani Kaleidoscope Spring/Summer 2013 Collection is full of black, turquoise and grey — the main colors, accompanied by jade and light blue softened with white to keep the blue eye look …

How to treat the dark circles underneath the eyes is the most frequent question I am asked. I myself have rather large eye sockets, thanks to genetics, and understand that when the bottom eye area is fully hydrated and more moisturized, light is more easily reflected, giving you the appearance of a more awake and radiant look.
Maestro Eraser ($40.00) from Giorgio Armani Beauty is the second product from this incredible, newly formulated collection that makes me swoon. Concealer has always been an issue for me. Lack of sleep makes me look like I have raccoon …
