Giorgio Armani's winning combination for the holiday season involves glowing, flawless skin, mesmerizing eyes and intense lips. The brand's holiday look is sophisticated, channeling small touches that nod to the festive feel of the party season.

Giorgio Armani international make-up artist, Linda Cantello, who created this Holiday 2017 collection, was inspired by the cool and blue tones often associated with winter. The collection is designed for creating striking holiday looks and for mixing colours in all kinds of ways.

Flawless skin, striking eyes

The collection centerpiece is the Holiday 2017 Palette, a two-layer palette of essentials for face and eyes. The top level features ten eyeshadows -- five shimmering shades and five matte shadows with "dry matte" technology -- as well as two applicators. From bright white to deep purple, translucent black and slate gray, the colours can be used alone or layered with sophisticated effect.
