Armani Beauty's New Cheek Tint And Skin Tent Reflect The Brand's Belief 'That Makeup Shouldn't Be Intimidating'
One of the hottest products of the summer? Blush—and Armani Beauty has joined the conversation with its new Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine, a companion piece to the brand's Skin Tint. The liquid blush comes in four shades: Sunlit Sienna (described by the company as a 'burnished pink'); Starlit Peach; Cosmic Pink (a 'cool-toned' pink); and Magnetic Mauve (a 'deep purple pink'). The brand described the product in a release as being formulated to create 'a pearlescent finish that appears to move with light, enhancing the skin's luminosity,' made with technology that allows 'the formula to seamlessly blend into the skin without looking patchy.' I had the opportunity to chat about both the Cheek Tint and the Skin Tint with a person who has possibly the best job title ever—Samuel Rivera, Armani Beauty's National Face Designer. I'm especially intrigued by the company's skincare meets makeup approach, an ever-growing trend in beauty; he tells me that 'We designed our products to enhance the skin and keep it hydrated and healthy. We believe that the skin is a precious canvas that deserves the best quality and innovation.' Whereas the blush has four shades, the Skin Tint has 20. The Skin Tint was inspired by organza, 'a delicate and sheer fabric known for its lightweight structure and subtle sheen,' Rivera tells me, and its ingredients—think niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid—'will give the skin the most beautiful and glowy finish,' Rivera adds. 'I am in love with this new product,' he says. Armani Beauty's ability to fuse skincare and makeup 'really sets us apart from other brands in the industry,' Rivera says. 'We put together skincare ingredients that are key and beneficial to the skin, combined with our exclusive pearls that allowed us to develop a product for all skin types and a wide variety of tonalities.' Pearls, you say? Perhaps like you, I'm especially intrigued by the fact that the product is made with pearls, which Rivera explains to me diffuse light reflection and add luminosity to the skin, creating 'a beautiful glow,' as he puts it. The skincare-makeup hybrid model—as seen in the Skin Tint—continues to grow in popularity, where the combination of the two 'essentially fuse two products in one,' according to Vogue. 'Ultimately, skincare is meant to provide a positive, measurable change in your skin over time—so a skincare-makeup hybrid should do both of those simultaneously.' Brands like Westman Atelier, Kosas, Rhode, Glow Recipe and Danessa Myricks Beauty have also jumped on the trend along with Armani Beauty. 'Today's beauty consumers are incredibly intentional—they're looking for formulas that enhance their natural features while actively improving their skin,' Cocokind founder Priscilla Tsai told Who What Wear. 'The days of choosing between a beautiful finish and real skincare benefits are over—people want both. That's why hybrid formulas are thriving.' When it comes to application, the Armani Beauty Skin Tint is lightweight, so it's 'easy to play with,' Rivera tells me. He recommends applying the product with your fingers—one to two pumps of Skin Tint starting from the center of the face outward. To build coverage, he says to apply in even layers with a flat foundation brush in the areas that you want more complete coverage. After applying the Skin Tint all over your face with your fingers, he suggests applying the Cheek Tint 'on the apple of the cheeks for a pop of color and dewiness.' (It can be applied with a brush or with fingertips, he says.) Rivera also uses the Cheek Tint 'on the lips,' he tells me, putting 'a lip gloss on top.' These two products 'are the perfect combination to create an easy, quick and glowy makeup look,' Rivera says. 'We believe that makeup shouldn't be intimidating—makeup should be easy to apply with just a few steps,' he tells me. The Cheek Tint is currently available at and the Skin Tint is also available on Sephora and Armani Beauty's websites, and will be available at all retailers on August 18—in just 10 days' time.

Naomi Watts and daughter Kai Schreiber pose up a storm at Armani Beauty event after model teen came out as transgender
Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber posed up a storm as they attended a Armani Beauty celebrating Luminous Silk Foundation and Concealer. The King Kong actress, 56, and her model daughter, 16, who she shares with actor Liev Schreiber, were among the stars at Wednesday's event, held at Twenty Three Grand in New York City. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos. She was joined by her daughter Kai, who had her modelling debut at Paris Fashion Week for Valentino earlier this year. For the occasion, Kai wore a black high-neck sweater covered in multicoloured polka dots with a matching skirt. Naomi was seen helping her daughter with her make-up in sweet snaps from the event. Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn ' Monroe. She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past. The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community. 'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine. 'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.' The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino. 'That job made me realise, 'OK, this is what I want to do,' Kai said. ' I want to be a supermodel. Period.' Kai opened up to the publication about what she's been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos 'I've been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,' Kai said. Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication - joking she's 'basic, but in a chic way.' Kai said of her couture choices: ' I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That's my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style. 'If you're presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn't be a thing.' Kai said that 'the world [is] more fun' with fashion in the mix. She took to Instagram to thank those involved with the feature as she said: 'I can't put into words how excited & grateful I am for this project. Thank you to the Interview team for the opportunity, and thank you Dara & everyone for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for me on set.' Naomi said on her Instagram that Kai was 'continuing to kill it' and that she was 'proud' of her. Kai has received public support from both of her famed folks, as Liev told Variety last month about what he felt was the most impactful moment as the parent of a trans child. 'Kai was always who Kai is,' The Manchurian Candidate actor said. 'But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. 'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.' The Perfect Couple star continued: 'Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me."'

This Might Be The World's Best Foundation
When tasked with finding the best of the best in beauty, we often rely on the opinions of experts. Dermatologists, makeup artists and estheticians help us wade through the unending selection of goods, and when a particular item is suggested by professionals more than once, we know that we've just stumbled on product gold. Luminous Silk foundation by Armani Beauty is one product in particular that has been suggested to us by several experts, one of whom called it a 'never cakey, lightweight and dewy' foundation that leaves a skin-perfecting, natural-looking finish. Due to its oil-free and non-comedogenic formulation, several dermatologists along with Vanessa Coppola, a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of a New Jersey-based medical spa, have previously recommended Luminous Silk to HuffPost as a great foundation option for those who are acne-prone but who don't want the thick and overly mattifying coverage that many blemish-marketed foundations can have. It has also made the favorites list of multiple makeup artists, including Bobbi Brown Cosmetics artist-in-residence Carola Gonzalez, who previously explained to us that as skin ages, it naturally loses luminosity, becomes more dehydrated and dull and wrinkles become more pronounced. Because of this, Gonzales said that she loves using Luminous Silk on clients with mature skin, as its hydrating and glowy-finish formula has the ability to blur imperfections without settling into fine lines or wrinkles. Available in 40 shades, this medium-coverage and buildable foundation uses what the brand refers to as 'micro-fil technology' to allow color pigments to lay flat for seamless blending and layering. The long-lasting formula also claims to improve the look of irregular skin texture while maintaining that lit-from-within glow. But it's not just professional beauty and skin care professionals that Luminous Silk has won over — reviewers love it, too. It's one of the highest rated products on Sephora with an average 4.2-out-of-five-star rating from some 4,248 reviewers. Many self-proclaimed fans of the stuff claim that, despite the high-end price tag, they will 'definitely be repurchasing.' Others said that this foundation gives them the look of coveted 'glass skin' and that it 'feels like butter melting into the skin.' Keep reading below to see more people sing the praises of Luminous Silk, or purchase a bottle for yourself. Get it from Sephora for $69 (available in 38 shades and also in a mini size).
