Published: 2011-09-29 by Marina Milojević in Makeup

Here is a sneak-peek into the brand new Giorgio Armani Madre Perla 2011 Holiday Collection. The collection hasn't been officially unveiled yet but, as always, we’re working hard to bring you all the hottest news and previews. Judging by the promotional image, which shows beautiful Megan Fox in a sophisticatedly elegant fashion, the new line is inspired by the classic elegance of the 1930’s, luxury and delicacy.

Giorgio Armani Madre Perla Holiday 2011 Collection | Exclusive Preview

Madre perla, nacre, or the mother of pearl, is a beautiful iridescent composite material produced in the inner shells of marine mollusks. It has been used over many centuries for all kinds of decorative purposes. Madre perla is used for buttons, jewelry, and it is also a material that makes up pearls. The color of natural pearl reflects the initial spark of inspiration throughout this collection – subtle reflections, iridescent effects, rich luxury and rare natural beauty.

Armani Cosmetics' Creative Director, Linda Cantello speaks about the collection: “Like a 1930s' boudoir, a touch of lacquer and patinated metals adds a sophisticated feel to satiny, pearlescent tones. Delicate shades reminiscent of the silk lingerie of the time."

And here is what’s included:

The Face & Eye Palette is inspired by Art Deco style. It comes in a luxurious black case adorned with natural Madre Perla and embossed with a silver logo. The Face Palette contains three luminous powders in sand, champagne, and aqua. The shades can be blended together to create a natural texture and radiant color, or used separately to sculpt or illuminate.

Gloss d’Armani comes in four bold and feminine shades. All of the shades are offered in a limited edition: iridescent rosewood, velvety red, sienna, and bold amethyst.
