There are several key characteristics that make a great beauty brand ambassador. First and foremost, the person must be able to radiate good energy and convey the wisdom of beauty to the masses. After all, they are ambassadors. And…they must love being glamorous. It’s just part of the gig.
Last month, Armani Beauty announced Nathalie Emmanuel as its newest global makeup ambassador. To kick off their partnership, the 35-year-old will appear in the brand’s January campaign for Luminous Silk Foundation, but she’s actually been in this mode for much longer. . In August, she attended the 81st Venice Film Festival with the brand, where she “felt every inch a movie star.” And her love for makeup has always been there.
“Before makeup became a thing, I would sit at home and put on a full face of makeup,” says the Megalopolis star. “And I think I still have some creative play with makeup, but now I think it’s about being subtle and adding to what’s already there.”
Looking ahead, Emmanuel shares his thoughts on the new partnership and his ideal lipstick.

“My foundation base, Luminous Silk Foundation, and Luminous Silk Concealer. When I’m wearing it, I don’t even feel like I’m wearing it. And the great thing is that it adapts to my skin tone. It feels so good. It feels moist and fresh, skin-like and doesn’t feel unnatural, but you can build it up if you want to create a stronger look.
“I like a pigmented liquid blush like Luminous Silk Cheek Tint, a good black mascara, and a tinted or solid lip gloss like Prisma Glass. It’s kind of like a color suggestion, but you want a slightly rosy look that isn’t too overpowering or too intense.
“It’s a must-have for me because it allows me to do very simple everyday makeup.”

“It’s a pretty classic style, but I’m a big fan of a red lip on a very natural face. Whether it’s a bright red lip in Lip Power 400 or a red wine in Lip Power 404, there’s something about it. It’s very classic, very feminine, but also very strong and rebellious.”
