It is the beauty look par excellence of recent years, yet it is always the most complex. How do you create natural make-up, the so-called nude look that can be worn every day?

Make-up designed as a contemporary passepartout: impeccable at any time of the day” he explains Giulio Pancieralead make-up artist of the show. Backstage, the brand NOUBA, which made its official debut in the Milanese fashion show calendar as Official Make-up Partner of Onitsuka Tiger.
Key product: Noubto Ideal Foundationmixed with a drop of Light Skin Lighteningfor integrated, three-dimensional brightness. The result is smooth, fresh, structured skin: a surface that reflects light in perfect balance. “The base was worked to obtain uniformity and comfort without losing transparency; the light was integrated into the material, not superimposed. The stability of the foundation, the precision of the concealer and the modulation of the contouring allowed us to define the volumes without rigidity. The face becomes space, not surface”.
