What’s not to love about Italy? It’s a country that I (and my tastebuds) could never tire of. Having visited the Northern lakes and fallen in love with Rome, I’ve become obsessed with the Italian way of life. The cuisine, the elegant fashion and Italian lifestyle philosophies are admired around the world. Who doesn’t want to embrace a little Italian know-how in to their lifestyle?
It feels like references to Italy are everywhere this summer. Latte makeup, the Mediterranean tomato girl aesthetic, the upcoming launch of Prada beauty… It seems that Italy has got it going on right now. While French women get a lot of airtime for their beauty routines and pharmacies, I wanted to dive deeper into Italian beauty rituals and found out exactly what is behind that dolce vita glow that Italian women have (spoiler alert: among other things, they do in fact credit their espresso and pasta, FYI).
To find out the best kept Italian beauty trends and tips, I asked three Italian women to share the rituals of their beauty routines that are essential to them as their morning espresso. Ahead, artist, photographer and stylist, Rosanna Elettra, art director Federica Labanca and Chiara Cascella, founder of makeup brand Espressoh share their tips.
