Hollywood glam, with a twist at Armani Spring 2016 Couture

When Mr. Armani asks, the Labs respond, this is the beauty backstage at his shows. Thanks to the unique mobile laboratory that packs different pigments and textures, Linda Cantello -International Make-up Artist for Giorgio Armani - is able to satisfy every demand of the designer. For this Spring 2016 Couture show the request was a shiny eyeliner and the result couldn’t be more beautiful and elegant.

Quando Armani desidera qualcosa, niente può fermarlo. Questa è la bellezza dei suoi backstage che, grazie al Lab Armani Runway vengono trasformati in dei veri e propri laboratori on-the-go in cui le idee di Giorgio Armani vengono pedissequamente tradotte in makeup da Linda Cantello, International Make-up Artist del brand. E cosi, per l’Haute Couture Primavera Estate 2016, è nato l’eyeliner shiny, un prodotto iperpigmentato e lucido.

The sultry look @ Diane Von Fustenberg Fall 2015

The hair and makeup at DVF’s Fall 2015 show was sexy and modern. Models were transformed in very confident women, in seductress, that perfectly pulled off smoky eyes and messy knots.

Un beauty look all’insegna della seduzione quello visto sulle passerelle dall’Inverno 2015 di Diane Von Fustenberg, fatto di smoky eyes intensi e chignon approssimativi, per una donna moderna e sicura di sé.

World travellers @ BCBG Max Azria

For next fall, BCBG Max Azria played with a nomadic look, with a traveller woman that gets effortlessly ready in a tent, not thinking about makeup or hairstyle, and that face the world with bare skin, bitten lips and hair tucked-in in turtlenecks or other layers.

Per il prossimo Inverno, BCBG Max Azria punta tutto su un look nomade, su una donna viaggiatrice che pensa poco al makeup o all’hairstyle e che, nell’uscire di corsa dalla tenda che rappresenta la sua casa si veste di toni nudi, con labbra appena sottolineate da un rossetto prugna per un effetto “mordicchiato” e capelli nature che rimangono intrappolati in sciarpe o colli alti.

Sumo Knots and 5 different lipsticks for Carolina Herrera SS2015

Here it comes the second Japanise-inspired hairstyle of the season. Would it be a trend for next spring? Whether it will or not it’s totally worth-it. Backstage at Carolina Herrera, Orlando Pita wanted to back up the mosaic-flower prints seen in the collection creating a sumo knot, some kind of looped ponytail at the crown of the head with some pinned, blount-cut extensions beneath it.

Japanese warriors backstage at Hervé Léger SS2015

An Onna-Bugeisha was the inspiration behind the beauty look at Hervé Léger SS2015 show, who, in common words, is a female upper-class samurai known for her strength. Indeed, the women seen on the catwalk were very powerful and, to endorse the collection, the beauty look was exactly right.

Donne forti, donne guerriere. L’ispirazione per la PE 2015 di Hervé Léger è stata niente di meno che un’Onna-Bugeisha, una samurai giapponese che ha dato il là alla creazione di un look potente tanto quanto lei.

BCBG MAX AZRIA SS2015: The perfect fresh-from-vacation beauty look

Giambattista Valli goes bare for AW14

All was quiet backstage at Giambattista Valli as hair and make-up were all about a raw reality. Buzzword of this and the previous season, ‘raw’ means natural, a bare ‘back to reality’ look that has no frippery nor embellishment.

Nel backstage dell’AI14 di Giambattista Valli si è visto il trionfo della bellezza nuda e cruda. Così come sulle passerelle della PE, anche il prossimo inverno si voterà a un look semplice fatto al massimo di concealer e fondotinta leggeri.

Cool girls @ Tom Ford AW14

Tom Ford's direction to makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury was a rock ‘n’ roll girl who looked as if she had slept in her makeup. No sooner said than done, Tilbury created a smoky eye that paid homage to Carine Roitfeld.

In stile ‘ho dormito nel mio make-up e sono molto rock’n roll’, il beauty look voluto da Tom Ford per L’AI14 è stato tradotto da Charlotte Tilbury in un smoky eye ispirato a Carine Roitfeld.

Dramatic buns and ladylike make-up @ Carolina Herrera AW14

Teatrale l’updo, ladylike il make-up. Per l’AI2014 da Carolina Herrera si è visto un look d’impatto e very stylish.
