All About Armani: New Maestro Eye Shadows

Giorgio Armani has finally released some new maestro single shadows! The shades released are the missing numbers in between 19 and 37, however there are still a few numbers missing and I have not been able to find information online or in store yet. Some shades appear to be reformulations of their original shadows. Below are pictures and descriptions. I highly recommend you visit makeupalley and check out member REPLICA for her fabulous notepad listing descriptions of all the armani products.

As far as I know, there are quite a few stores that do not have these in yet. Some counter managers are unaware of these even coming out, but I assume they should be trickling in very soon. E-mail me if you need a contact to order these. Just a heads up - the 2 stores near me did receive limited stock in their first shipment.

Giorgio Armani describes his Maestro shadows as follows:

"The formula of maestro eye shadow contains pure silk-like powders to create a soft, lightweight texture that glides onto eyelids in a silken veil of colour. Three different finishes replicate the breathtaking effects Giorgio Armani achieves with silk: matte gives smooth, deep colour; satin creates a lustrous sheen; sparkling illuminates with iridescent shimmer."

Now, onto the new shades photographed with a few already-existing shades:



* Maestro #20 - shimmery warm golden brown, very similar to Maestro #4, but the Maestro #20 is more golden, slightly lighter, also the Maestro #20 could be a more golden/shimmery version of the original 20 (NOTE: Maestro #20 is pictured in one of the Japanese Magazines, posted HERE)

* Maestro #25 - satin yogurt-pink with pale mauve tones (looks like a dupe for the original #6)

* Maestro #26 - satin medium-dark brown, neutral-cool

* Maestro #27 - shimmery warm neutral taupe (looks like a dupe for original #11)

* Maestro #28 - shimmery light yellowy buttercream, paler than the more yellow than the original #9

* Maestro #29 - shimmery pale pink (looks like a dupe for original 12, but more pigmented and more shimmery)

* Maestro #30 - shimmery pale seashell pink, slightly deeper than Maestro #29 (this is a dupe for original 53)

* Maestro #32 - shimmery taupe-grey (cooler than Maestro 27 but not as cool-grey as the original 26)

* Maestro #34 - shimmery baby pink, (seems like a dupe for original 55 with a tad more pink)

* Maestro #36 - a matte buttercream (yellowish cream not pictured)
