Armani's Legacy: Giorgio Armani’s Lasting Impact on Beauty

Legendary Italian designer Giorgio Armani passed away at the age of 91, leaving a huge mark on the fashion and beauty industries. Known for revolutionizing the fashion industry, Armani has also left behind a celebrated beauty brand, Giorgio Armani Beauty, renowned for its elegance, luxury, and sophistication.

Founded in 2000, the beauty brand offers an exclusive range of beauty and fragrance products acclaimed for their luxurious quality and cutting-edge technology. With a formula-first mindset, Armani's beauty products are made from plant-derived ingredients. His beauty products include skin-friendly ingredients such as argan oil and shea butter, while his skincare products contain Reviscentalis "life extract, an anti-aging concentrate sourced from Zimbabwe. His fragrance line features sustainably sourced vanilla from Madagascar and patchouli from Guatemala—all of the lines support local programs that benefit underprivileged communities.

Arguably one of the most iconic formulas in history is the Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation Armani launched in 2000. Twenty-five years after its launch, it remains one of the best foundations on the market, beloved by many. This medium-coverage foundation provides a skin-like finish to the skin using their micro-fill technology, which provides a flawless, hydrating effect. The foundation is composed of 89% skincare base and is available in 40 shades, retailing for $69.

Launched in 2013, the Sí Eau De Parfum is a renowned floral fragrance on the market. Opening notes include blackcurrant nectar and mandarin, creating a fruity yet warm, long-lasting scent. It draws inspiration from Mediterranean gardens by blending warm vanilla with fruity notes to create a classic yet fresh scent. The fragrance is available in three sizes: 1.0 oz for $100, 1.6 oz for $140, and 3.4 oz for $174.

The Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Blush is a part of the Luminous Silk line, a liquid blush that lasts up to 12 hours on the skin. This formula also utilizes their patented Micro–fil™ technology, which melts into the skin, creating a flawless, blurred application that looks natural without appearing patchy. The blush is available in 10 shades for $40.

Another best-seller from the brand is the Armani Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow. This long-wear, crease and smudge proof eyeshadow is a quick and easy way to do your every day eye makeup. It is available in three different formulas: mattes, metallics, and sheer shimmers. It comes in a wide range of shades, creating a perfect color meant for anyone and everyone.
