Armani Bronze Color 2012 Makeup Collection

Always looking to nature for inspiration, the Giorgio Armani's Bronze Color 2012 makeup collection is awash in rich hues of blue, pearly gray, and turquoise.

I'm swooning over the luxury edition Ecailles Eye Palette - only 1,000 were produced for the entire worldwide market. Encased in a beautiful mother-of-pearl compact, it contains shades of deep sea blue, algae, lagoon turquoise and shimmering white. The colors look dark but are definitely buildable. You can layer it on gently or pack it in for a really dramatic look. To set off brown eyes, the turquoise and algae shades are my absolute favorites. The blue is a deep violet blue, perfect for sexy smoky eyes.

If you already have a lot of greens in your eye shadow collection, the Eye Palette 2 might tempt you. This cool palette comes with shades of deep navy, light grey, silver and sparkling white. It'll create a classic smoky blue lid if that's what you're looking to achieve.

Four gorgeous new shades are available in the Gloss d'Armani collection. I tried 512 Red Andradite, a stunning claret shade. The sheer and non-sticky texture makes it super comfortable to wear in hot weather.

This isn't a part of the Bronze Color collection, but I love the new Rouge d'Armani Sheer Lipsticks. A cross between a lipstick and a hydrating balm, the featherweight lipstick provides a shiny layer atop a wash of bright summery color. Vita 501, a berry pink, is especially pretty. The formula also locks in moisture for up to 8 hours.
