Milani Cosmetics Announces Latest Innovation In Eyes & Heightened Digital Platform

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Milani Cosmetics, the leader in multicultural color cosmetics, announces today the launch of its most technologically advanced and dynamic cosmetic collection yet, Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow, in addition to the brand's enhanced digital platform that provides loyal customers and new users an intuitive online space to explore the artistry of makeup and learn how to utilize cosmetics to express themselves. Via these activations, Milani aims to enrich the overall consumer experience from the moment one engages with the brand through trial to purchase, while educating the consumer and creating a platform for the brand to listen and grow with its customers.

Launched in 2002, with a re-energized executive team and business program in 2014, Milani Cosmetics is continuing to grow, as illustrated by its ranking in the top 20 performing brands in social media by Tribe Dynamics. Milani's success in the color market is seen through their continued development of innovative fashion-forward cosmetics for women of all ethnicities and ages. Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow is available in 30 illuminating shades. The groundbreaking formula, rich in pigment, starts as a gel and is then transformed by a special process into a stunning powder eyeshadow with pure color and power wear.  This unique method creates a weightless and blendable shadow that can be easily applied with the fingertips in just one stroke, imparting vivid color with a crease-free finish.   These can be worn as shadow or highlighter and used wet or dry to ensure the perfect eye-popping look.   

"We conducted extensive research to find the best ingredients in the world to formulate Bella Eyes Gel Powder, and needless to say, the quality of this collection is unprecedented while still accessible in price point," says Milani President, Laurie Minc.  "With vibrant and rich, highly pigmented colors and advanced technology, women can achieve a multi-dimensional look with unmatched wear.  It is so exciting to introduce this collection alongside the reveal of our new digital space, as this will truly bring to life the Milani experience."

Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow releases on Milanicosmetics.com in August.  The latest and greatest destination for makeup tips, trends and related topics, the website's user-friendly design makes it easy for customers to learn more about Milani Cosmetics and how to properly apply their makeup at-home or on-the-go. With engaging product pages that distinguish product variations, color options to complete the look along with key attributes including those that are vegan, Milani's revamped website is able to personalize the consumer experience as they search for the perfect fit.  Milani's innovative and limited edition products combined with the brand's elevated digital platform drive demand with a rush to market mindset, generating consumer engagement and sharing amongst fans. Features include:  

• Tutorial "how to" videos

• Forum to engage consumers in conversation and education
