Giorgio Armani Beauty laboratories introduced a new way to experience color that will make you want to blink. The extremely fine texture of the new Eye Tint, a permanent liquid eyeshadow formula, is an even, transformation film. The vibrant colors of the innovative fluid texture can be layered endlessly. A make-up look can be customized with a touch of sophisticated glamour or with a translucent, natural effect.
Eye Tint combines the purity of a powder, the hold of an ink and the feel of a cream. This eye shadow has both the power of colour, and the comfort of bare eye lids,” explained Véronique Roulier, Director of L’Oréal Luxe Make-Up laboratories.

“I love eye tint. Shades can also be layered to create custom tones or natural translucency and to add shine, a metallic accent or depth. You cannot have the right colour without the right texture. As eye tint is inspired by the iconic MAESTRO FUSION MAKE UP technology, it blends on smoothly on eyelids, for a “no make-up” feel,” explained Linda Cantello, International Make-Up Artist Giorgio Armani.

Armani’s Eye Tint is available in 12 shades. It leaves pigments suspended in water. When applied the formula responds to the skins temperature and the water evaporates leaving a smooth, silky and even film without stickiness. Use Eye Tint also as an eyeliner. For a dazzling look, try a metallic shade.
