"For the 1st time, full lasting color, high precision contours and exceptional comfort in one.
An ideal performance never reached before.

Color-Fil™ technology
Giorgio Armani pioneers a breakthrough cosmetic color technology which owes its highly innovative formula architecture to a unique agent - Color bond. Color bond, the result of 7 years of research and 20 patents, offers exceptional qualities of comfort, luminosity and color intensity.

Color bond: a revolutionary polymer architecture
The Color bond is an unprecedented high tech polymer with the exceptional property of weaving highly selected ingredients in a supple 3D matrix that adheres durably to lips.
1. Its made to measure architecture, made of 2 “parts”, is able to reunite two - up until now - contrasting properties: hold and comfort.
• Part 1: assures high resistance and cohesion of the formula ingredients in a unique color weave.
• Part 2: brings adherence and flexibility of the formula on the lips.
2. Its smooth surface optimises light reflexion, revealing a new color vibrancy.

Essential ingredients to achieve a perfect formula
• Exclusive emollients and micronized waxes that slip onto lips for a smooth, melting, comfortable application.
• Spherical micro-pigments that fuse with the Color bond agent for rich, vibrant color.
• Two lightweight oils, one in perfect affinity with the lips for comfort, the other for a smooth and satin finish.

Giorgio Armani creates the dream lipstick
• 6 hours of comfort with continuous hydration*
• U p to 8 hours of uniform color leaving impeccable outlines without fading and feathering*

Red Hair & Pale Skin
Flawless Skin- Blue is naturally occurring in any skin tone, specially under the eyes, but is particularly prominent if you have red hair. Bluish undertones can stand out even more on redheads.  Avoid heavy foundation and opt for a sheer tinted moisturizer instead go for a light concealer.  This can help cover any hints of blue around the eye area.  A tinted moisturizer with a yellow undertone will cut any redness while also balancing out the appearance of your skin.  It’s difficult to use bronzer on pale skin.  To avoid the streaky and heavy look, you have to be delicate with your application.  If used appropriately, a slight touch of sheer-colored bronzer can tone down redness, as well.

Eyes- Black eyeliner and its ability to stand on its own and still will give a polished which  makes it an excellent look for redheads.  The sharp, crisp, and clean black line next to lashes can be a nice bold, flirty, and fun look with little makeup.  Try the look and enjoy the attention you will get from your cat-eyes.  Dark lashes! Therefore, black mascara is a must to achieve the look.  Have fun with plum eye shadow.  Go for the dramatic smokey look as long as the rest of your face has the warmer tones.  If not, go for the chocolate-brown shadow.

Lips- Try plum or pink!  It can be surprisingly beautiful.  Stain your lips with your favorite shade of plum or pink using Q-tips, and then apply a little lip balm to make it last for hours.
