LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION is known to be the first expression of Armani's

philosophy of perfecting the complexion with the lightest touch, and comes with

a range that spans 40 colors, to suit every skin tone. LIP POWER is a longwear

satin lipstick formulated with protective, comfortable oils and high-intensity

pigments to deliver vivid color with all-day wear, comfort and a lightweight

feel. Its innovative drop-shaped bullet allows for ease of application and

precise, defined lines.

"My idea of beauty applies to every woman as it enhances her personality and

uniqueness. Tessa Thompson struck me with the radiant energy she exudes, the

vibrant calmness of her way of being. I am delighted to be able to work with

her and express a new facet of the feminine kaleidoscope of Armani beauty",

said Giorgio Armani.

Tessa Thompson added: "Our ideas around what is beautiful, culturally, are

shifting, and becoming more inclusive. What I love about Armani is the way in

which it empowers any kind of woman to feel her best self."

Thompson, who was born in Los Angeles, started in theater then had small roles

in television before establishing her name in film. Her first notable, breakout

film role was "Dear White People" in 2014, then followed by Ava DuVernay's 2014

film "Selma". Thompson is also known for her role in the Emmy-nominated drama

series "Westworld". In 2015, Thompson starred in "Creed" and reprised her role

in "Creed II" in November 2018. Thompson is currently in production of Creed

III. Thompson played Valkyrie in the Marvel film "Thor: Ragnarok" in 2017,

followed by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019, and will reprise the role in the

forthcoming "Thor: Love and Thunder", set for release in 2022. In 2019,

Thompson appeared on the cover of TIME magazine as the Leader of the Next

Generation.  In 2020, Thompson co-starred in "Sylvie's Love", which she

executive produced as well. Thompson has most recently won acclaim for her role

as Irene Redfield in Rebecca Hall's 1920s-set film "Passing," released in

November 2021 on Netflix. The film is an adaptation of Nella Larsen's 1920s

Harlem Renaissance novel that explores the practice of racial passing.

Alongside her acting career, in 2021, Thompson launched her own production

company, Viva Maude, for which she signed a first look deal with HBO/HBO Max,

beginning with the book to screen adaptations of "The Secret Lives of Church

Ladies" and "Who Fears Death." In addition, Thompson created and will exec

produce the docu-series for Hulu entitled "Puzzle Talk," which is currently in

development.

Tessa Thompson joins Armani beauty alongside actresses Cate Blanchett, Zhong

Chuxi, Adria Arjona, Alice Pagani, and Greta Ferro; actors Ryan Reynolds,

Jackson Yee, and Nicholas Hoult; and models Barbara Palvin, Madisin Rian and

Valentina Sampaio. Each Armani beauty face, in their own unique way, incarnates
