A second before the end of 2018, and the beginning of his very busy schedule for the upcoming year, we had the chance to have our moment with Alexander Colaianni - the international Make-Up artist for the iconic french cosmetic brand sisley paris.
Traveling around the globe for almost 13 years now, he learned a lot from all his encounters with women from different cultures
Alex about women
I learn a lot from all the women I meet during my trips, it is very interesting for me to see the differences between women in different cultures. nowadays women decide who they want to be and they go for it. they emphasize their individuality and i think it is great. more and more women stop following trends and find their own unique language
How about differences in their make-up style?
Mostly I find that women today are looking for a light and fresh look, that they can adopt in minimum time. I see a lot of customers that skip the foundation apply, and want a quick and attractive look, the most important thing for them is to feel comfortable with themselves and in their skin.
What to expect from Sisley's next summer spring look?
Sisley is offering a lot of new products in the makeup category, There seems to be a continuity to the matte colors look that became so popular. nude colors Vs. bold colors, a wink to the 90's and the fashionable trends that dominated it.
Who his this Lady Liberty you created?
She is confident and powerful. I was inspired from the comics world when I created her, to me she is like a wonder women from the 70's comics, although Gal Gadot is definitely my favorite wonder women. she is amazing!!! I think all the Israeli women are like that... very open, self confident and beautiful. this year women around the world took a huge step forward and found the courage to stop the exploitation and humiliation they have suffered from men over the years. this is my Lady Liberty, follows the wind, always moving forward but has her strong roots. very feminine and sensual.
You spend most of your time in Asia, what can you tell about the beauty Asian market?
Well, it's a huge market that rapidly changes. every time I visit China for example I discover new things, it seems like there are a lot of novelties in all aspects of life and it's amazing. the Asian consumers now experiences the combination of beauty and technology inside the stores, they get their beauty advice from an online platforms located in the stores and saving them a lot of time. they like to try new makeup products but more conservative when it comes to skincare. they do not compromise on quality
You travel a lot, and your skin looks great...tell us all your secrets
Oh, its my Italian genes ...LOL
I take a good care of myself. I have too! When you travel that much you have no other option.For me the most important thing is a good and long night sleep.
when it comes to my skincare routine, sisleya is my favorite skincare product, and since i love the sun i also use the Sunleya. Im also taking the time to use the Botanical d-tox 3 times a year. it is a powerful month-long night treatment to combat signs of fatigue. and when I'm in Jetlag the black rose musk is a skin savior.
What do you do when you're off travelling?
It's pretty rare but when I'm finally back in Paris I like to have some time for myself, after being away from home for such a long time I really appreciate the time with myself. I have time to paint (Alex is a very talented artist M.V) and I spend time with my son and family
What is your next stop?
I'm finally going back to Paris for the holiday season. I need to get some sleep...LOL
