Armani "Neo Nude Collection" Review & Swatches


The Giorgio Armani Beauty launched new collection this Spring, It called Neo Nude Collection. Early Spring, I posted this collection on my Korean blog and I got so many questions about it.This collection is really popular all over the world. It's taken me a while to get and review it. I got few more color added in from Nordstrom. This collection can get it from Giorgio Armani Beauty also exclusive at Nordstrom.


The Neo Nude Collection all about helping you to achieve a "no makeup, makeup look" like natural makeup looking. This collection comes in beautiful nude pink packages and includes the Neo Nude Compact Foundation, Neo Nude A-Line, and Ecstasy Balm Lipsticks.

I Pick up a few pieces from the collection to review
  • Neo Nude A-Line Blush in shade #51 ($38 for 0.13oz/3.9ml)
  • Neo Nude A-Line Highlighter in shade #11 ($38 for 0.13oz/3.9ml)
  • Ecstasy Balm Lipsticks in shade #3 ($34 for 0.10oz/3ml)
  • Neo Nude Compact Powder Foundation in #2 ($58 for 0.12oz/3.5g)

At first the Compact Powder Foundation is a pure pigment powder that provides a radiant finish.I got a shade #2. It is lightest shade they have that it's little be lighter than my skin tone.  (that's what I am used for my foundation, and other powder. I prefer to use lighter color). Once applied this powder, your skin is natural ton with radiant finish. I feel like that there have some moisture in it, because I do not feel any dry after I applied. It comes with brush. You can bring everywhere with you. I highly recommend to use this powder as finishing powder. They have lighter color in it. It is perfect to use. My comparison with other brand like Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural.


Next, the Ecstasy Balm Lipstick which are supposed to enhances your natural lip color. They have three different shades. I only got a one for myself which is #3 a soft plum. This balm formula feels very nice and hydrating without feel sticky. However the color wise they are "very very very" sheer. My comparison with other brand like the Dior Lip Glow from Backstage Collection 2018 and Chanel Les Beiges Balms from Les Beiges Collection 2018. If you want more tinted lip balm I recommend these two brands. 



Most famous pieces from this Collection is Neo Nude A-Line complexion enhancing water color makeup. I picked up two colors, there are the A-Blush and A-Highlighter. Both are water based liquid colors that blend seamlessly into the skin for healthy glowing complexion.

The A-highlighter, I chose #11 shade, because the other one was too yellow for my skin ton. This shade is a soft champagne gold color for the glow with pearly sheer. The texture is very light like a cream blush and lasted on my skin a lots longer. I tried contours at Nordstrom, but it's not really stand color. I skipped. 



The A-Line blush is most popular thing from this collection. I had to wait long time for get. This lie very lightweight to give a natural tint of color. I picked up the #51 color which I would describe the color as mid ton pink. This is really good for lip and chick for natural makeup.


Two looks with different lip color, wearing.:
  • Foundation is Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation with #0.5 
  • Powder to finishing is Giorgio Armani Neo Nude Compact Powder Foundation with #2
  • Blush is Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Blush #51
  • Lip are Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Balm with #3 (Left) Neo Nude A-Blush #51 (Right)
  • Mascara is Chantecaille Faux Clis Mascara Black


The Neo Nude Collection get so popular in Asian countries such as Korea, China and Japan. They are all love for natural looking makeup. I also love this collection as much as Chanel Les Beiges which has similar concept. This Spring/Summer season, many of brands come out with natural ton makeup. However, I love this collection more because of packages they create. I love nude pick ton package fall in love with. 

This collection very outstanding. A-line brush which is most I like and famous for everyone. If you love natural look makeup definitely fall in love with this collection. 

You can fine this collection at Giorgio Armani Beauty  and exclusive at Nordstrom.
I purchased all products by myself and comments from my experience.
