Hello dearies!

Look at these!!!!

Don’t they look so cute? Such demure and sweet looking packaging! These belongs to Armani Beauty’s Neo Nude Collection. In this collection, they launched a blush (4 shades), a contour (2 shades), a highlight (2 shades), a compact powder foundation (10 shades if I remember correctly) and a color changing lip balm (3 shades).

Armani Beauty came into Singapore (at Tangs) in August 2018. I flew to the counter on their opening day and only managed to get one Blush, one Highlight & the Powder. 🙄 I was so upset when the SA told me that they did not bring in the Contour and only had a few pieces of the Blush (less than 10 of it). When I came home, I went Nordstrom online & got myself the Contour and one other Blush color that I wanted. (I did not get any of the lip balms because I have too many of the same kind).

Some Swatches:

Top to bottom:

Highlight – Number 10 (SGD 65 at Tangs)

Contour – Number 20 (SGD 75 at Nordstrom due to shipping cost)

Blush – Number 30 which is a Coral (SGD 65 at Tangs), and number 50 which is a Pink (SGD 75 at Nordstrom due to shipping cost)

This is how it looks after blending:

These are very sheer and very easy to blend – just dab it on the face and pat with fingers. The end result is super natural as though it’s from within the skin itself. I recommend these to people who likes to achieve a very natural no makeup makeup look. 🤗

As for the Compact Powder Foundation – Number 1.5 (SGD 105 at Tangs), it comes with a super soft brush inside:

I usually use my own brushes with powders but this brush that comes with it is good and the hair (I believe it’s synthetic) is so soft and picks up the powder efficiently. You can use this powder as a foundation but I think the coverage is really really really light. If you have very good skin, you probably don’t need this; if you do need coverage then this is not enough. 🤔

I prefer to use this to set my makeup after foundation because the powder seems to melt into your skin and gives it a nice velvety blurring result. I’ve used this a few times so the wavy swirls on the top have been swept off. It’s very convenient to put into your purse for on the go touch ups. I’ll definitely replenish when I’m done. 😍

Oh and the cover of the compact matches the color of the powder inside. So if you do want to get a darker shade for contour use, you can differentiate between the shades just by looking at the cover. 😎 That’s what we call innovative!

Loving it!
