Actress Tess Thompson, the newest face of Armani Beauty

On April 28 Armani beauty celebrated its new brand face, actress Tessa Thompson at Vespertine in Los Angeles, California. Tessa was joined by her closest friends and friends of Armani beauty including Maude Apatow, Ava Phillippe, Rowan Blanchard, Jurnee Smollett, Angelica Ross, Ella Purnell, Maria Bakalova and Skai Jackson to toast to the new partnership.

Tessa Thompson joins Armani beauty as a global face alongside actresses Cate Blanchett, Adria Arjona and Greta Ferro, and models Barbara Palvin, Valentina Sampaio and Madisin Rian.

Thompson’s makeup look for the event was created by celebrity makeup artist Keita Moore. Here’s how to get the look:

FACE: Keita prepped Tessa’s skin using the Armani beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer to create a hydrated base for makeup application. Then he applied Armani beauty Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 7.5 all over and used Armani beauty Luminous Silk Foundation in 8 to contour and create definition along the outer corners of her face, cheekbones and neck. Under the eyes, Keita applied Armani beauty Luminous Silk Concealer in shade 7. For a touch of color, he used the Armani beauty Neo Nude A-Blush in 31 on her cheeks and topped it off with the Armani beauty Neo Nude Melting Balm in Brick Red. 

EYES: Keita used the Armani beauty Neo Nude Melting Balm in Cool Plum as a base for the eyelid and crease. Then he applied the Armani beauty Eyes To Kill Eye Tint in Senso on the lid to add some shimmer. To create a dramatic finish, Keita applied a few coats of the Armani beauty Eyes To Kill Black Ecstasy Mascara.

LIPS: To complete the look with a bold lip, Keita used Armani beauty Lip Power Lipstick in 404.
