This past weekend, thunderstorms rained down over New York, but that didn’t stop Armani Beauty from throwing a star-studded party at Montauk’s premier boutique hotel, The Surf Lodge. The event, which celebrated the launch of the brand’s new Dolci Blush, brought together an exclusive group of celebrities, influencers, and tastemakers, including Ciara, Justine Skye, Katseye’s Daniela Avanzini, Megan Lawless, Elsie Hewitt, and more.
The evening began with a sunset-lit cocktail hour on The Surf Lodge’s famed outdoor patio as guests mingled and dined on seafood towers and cocktails inspired by the vibrant colors of the brand’s latest cream-to-powder blush. The cocktail hour featured a pop-up cart that housed a display of the new blush shades and life-size model blushes that made for the perfect photo op. Later in the evening, as a light drizzle turned into a full-on downpour, the festivities continued indoors with a VIP dining experience followed by a live DJ set and a night on the dance floor. There were even towers of Popeyes French fries and chicken tenders making their way around the room for people to enjoy as they partied in honor of the new blush formula.
The blush launch introduces a multiuse formula that melts into the skin, leaving behind a soft-matte finish. The blush is available in five shades: Rose, Caramel, Apricot, Cinnamon, and Mauve. “I love that you can apply this blush with your fingers and make it go where you want to add some dimension,” award-winning singer Ciara told ELLE in an exclusive interview. “It’s good for both day and night.”
