I’ve got the details on how you can re-create Emily Blunt’s look from the 2013 Critics Choice Awards which held place on January 1 10th in Santa Monica.

The look was created by Jenn Streicher who was inspired by Emily’s Miu Miu dress and wanted to create a modern Veronica Lake look with bronzed dewy skin, simple eyes and gorgeous red lip.

Giorgio Armani’s collection for Spring 2013 is called Pop and includes new palettes with pastel shades, two nude lipsticks and two fun blush fabrics.

Here is what Linda Cantello  (International Make Up Artist for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics) says:

“This Spring I love the mix of vivid shades with nudes, women are traditionally drawn to colour but afraid of it – this way they can play and customize to their own desires.

At the Giorgio Armani S/S 13 show – I used the soft grey tone to create a muted graphic shape – then a thick liner was drawn with the Swimming Pool Turquoise blue, then blended with the taupe – this gives a soft pop of glamorous, sensual colour. Any woman can wear it.”

Armani just launched new matte Eyes To Kill Eyeshadow Quads (£49.50$59) which are available in eight variations.

Linda Cantello comments: “Eyes to Kill palette colors were crafted like Mr Armani designs fashion: to enhance women’s elegance and power of seduction.”

The shades are: Maestro, Terra Siena, Pantelleria, Effeto Nudo, Meditteranea, Bourdoir, Blush  and Parma.

I personally like the shades Terra Siena and Bourdoir the best. And  Pantelleria looks like the most original quad to me.

Besides the

For the Christmas 2012 makeup collection Armani takes inspiration in  the various nuances of cold winter days, especially in the moonlight which brings out translucent reflections.

There are four products in the collection and am I personally very interested in one of them which is LIP MAESTRO Colour Zero, Instant lip enhancer (£25)

This is basically a top coat which mattifies other lip products or can be used directly on the lips. It is promised that the colour will still look luminous and the lips will stay hydrated.

 All-in-one White Night Palette (£60)

Two (LE) palettes that come in a black lacquer case which include: Frosty Highlighter, two eye shadows and a matte lipstick.

Moonlight Beige Palette: Beige shimmer powder,  two taupe eye shadows and Beige lip wax.
