Giorgio Armani reveals the secret to the Mediterranean natural sun color without sun.

For the first time, an Armani unique combination of water-soluble tints and very fine Micro-fil mineral pigments in a fresh gel texture. The water-soluble tints blend naturally with skin’s surface for an immediate, soft coloration that lasts all-day. Micro-fil mineral pigments are associated with reflective particles for a radiant and natural result. Skin instantly glows with a tone on tone Mediterranean tan.

The lightweight and fresh formula leaves a natural bare bronze finish. The makeup result is natural and translucent with no texture effect nor coverage which allows endless blending without thickness. A complete range of natural tone on tone colors inspired by the warm light on the Italian coasts.

Available in 4 shades from a subtle summer glow to a deep Mediterranean tan.
