So Volume Mascara by Sisley Paris provides volume, curls and defines the lashes, from the root to the tip. Its innovative lash care formula acts on: - helps lashes appear longer and thicker (Vitamin Peptide, Cotton proteins and Ceramide-like key ingredient) for stronger, longer, voluminous and more resistant lashes with repeated applications - the vitality of the lashes thanks to the added nutrition, essential to the development - their growth (Arginine) and their beauty (Pro-vitamin B5, Japanese Cherry Blossom extract and Castor oil). Its XXL brush which is perfectly suited to the formula promises instant shaping and a high-definition result without clumping. Its dual-coating ultra-pure pigments offer intense color and long-lasting make-up. Tolerance tested under ophthalmological control. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

RESULTS

Triple action as soon as applied: - Ultra-volume: coated, densified and extra-full lashes - Curl: intensely sheathed and curled lashes - Definition: perfectly defined lashes, lash to lash volume

USAGE TIPS

Start by applying at the center of the eyes for a wide-eyed effect. Place the brush on the upper lash line, then draw the product upwards by rolling the brush all the way to the tips of the lashes for intense volume. For fully fanned-out lashes, continue to the outer corners of the eyes before going back to the lashes on the inner corners. Use the tip of the brush to reach the shortest lashes with precision. Repeat several times depending on desired intensity and volumizing effect.

The long-awaited brand Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is coming to Italy on  6 April 2018 and will be distributed exclusively from Sephora. I was in New York for Fashion Week on September 8, 2017, when the brand launched and the very next day I found myself at Sephora in Chelsea Market shopping for yet another celebrity beauty project. Like everyone else, I was surprised by the wide range of foundation colors. If there were an award to be given to the most inclusive makeup brand to ever launch we all agree that it should go to Fenty Beauty. 

Fenty Beauty, a brand that is both feminine and avant-garde, redefines the rules of make-up with light as air formulas that can be superimposed, with a complete line of shades designed for everyone. The assortment of the products based on the complexion has been studied to work in synergy and offer to anyone the 3-step method used by Rihanna to obtain an irresistible radiance, the Fenty Face.

The Fenty Face was created for women of all skin types, suitable for all personalities. These steps are the basis of the makeup, regardless of the look you want to achieve. That's where the fun begins. - Rihanna

A soft matte, long-wear foundation with buildable, medium-to-full coverage, in a boundary-breaking range of shades.

FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Invisimatte Blotting Paper

The countdown is over, we are all ready to start the celebrations. Here I was practicing on of the makeup looks from the latest Dolce Gabbana Beauty collection. The name Baroque Night Out calls for a party look, but I tried to do a less shiny look trying to go for something more subtle that would be great for the 25th December family lunch. The Dolce & Gabbana Contour Duo has become my favorite beauty product to contour the face and highlight my best features and the Baroque Red Shine lipstick is a great color for the holidays.

During this Milan Fashion Week I collaborated with MAC Cosmetics who followed my around the  runway shows to get a perspective on the Autumn Winter 2015 collections. A journey discovering what is beauty in these times. Times when we are overwhelmed by so many images sending us different messages on what we should look like, what we should wear and how we need to fit in the ever changing standards.

I strongly believe in positive body image and promoting self-confidence that's why working with MAC Cosmetics a brand that supports diversity and has us accept beauty as not a standard but as diversity, was such an amazing experience. With make up collections that aren't there to make us fit into an idealized image but help us express ourselves creatively MAC provides a myriad of easy and beautiful options for women.
