Stanremo 2023, final beauty, closes in style. And with a touch, perhaps, of nostalgia. It will be because in the bold succession of bowl cuts, crazy shaves, disco dance smokey eyes and genderless glitter, tonight we get serious, we write another piece of music history on the symbolic stage of the Italian national popular. Where, you know, the image can evoke stories and icons that move soulsas well as votes. It does, big time, Ferragni, queen of the last evening. Without too many words, just the haircut.

THEThe glance will be for that dazzling blondit’s deja vu. Clare Ferragni, co-presenter of the opening and closing of this edition of the Festival, ends in glory. The haircut is no longer a novelty, but remains a very successful operation. Well ironed, rounded, suddenly it does a little magic. Channel on the Ariston stage the most untouchable icon of the Italian song to which the influencer – on the contrary much discussed – could be inspired in its beauty narration. Raffaella Carrà.
Disappeared on July 5, 2021, it seems to see her again at every swinging step of the helmet blonde by Ferragni. One that has not left to chance even the slightest detail of its representation on the most acclaimed stage in Italy. And in fact, she let a symbol that everyone knows, and above all, can only unconsciously love, speakcutting an icon. Chapeau.
Levant as Mina
Another one lasts a fraction of a second too beauty deja vu that sounds like homage. Levant, tonight, complete its “transformation” 2.0, indeed Instagram-friendlyin an avatar of mine. The evanescent frame of oxygenated blond light, the inevitable effect of the extreme discoloration of the long hair and also of the eyebrows, blurs and distorts the features of the usually raven-haired singer.

And this is where it comes into play the maxi comma of black eyeliner, which redesigns everything. Also an icon. Just like she did, another sacred monster of Italian song, who with the languid black eye floating in the pallor of the skin he made himself a pop portrait as recognizable as that of Queen Elizabeth. Makeup (today’s) by Clarins, hairstyle by L’Oréal Professionnel.
Mara Sattei, like Iva and Ornella, many years ago
In technical jargon, the eye makeup of Mara Sattei, Armani Beauty ambassador, is called “cutcrease“, or rather the comma above the eyelid, the make-up of the glam occasions of the Sixties. It was divine as’s favourite Sophia Loren and Monica Vittibut also of queens who wrote the history of Italian song before her on this stage, see Igoes Zanicchi (that the festival won it three times, in 1967, in 1969 with Zingara and in 1974 with Ciao cara come stai?) and Ornella Vanoni, eight times in the competition at the Ariston.

An allure of yesteryear reinterpreted with a touch of soft and elegant color, in perfect Armani key: a pearl-silver-blue, i.e. a liquid eyeshadow base Eye Tint #1 pearly defined by two floating linerssinuous lines above the eyelid designed with the shade #50 blue-petrol.
Skin and cheekbones give off an aura of light thanks to the fluid textures of the highlighter Fluid sheer and some blush Neo-Nude A-Blush #53. Because Sanremo is history. Circular, infinite. Like its beauty, inspirational.
