Good news, beauty belles – Giorgio Armani has returned to Singapore at last! ♥ The brand was previously only available within the transit area of Changi Airport a few years back but pulled out after a short stint, much to the chagrin of makeup lovers who were already dismayed that it was so inaccessible.
Happily, it is now easily available at the revamped Beauty Hall of DFS Galleria on Scotts Road.
The full range of Giorgio Armani cosmetics, as well as skincare products, will be exclusively available at the store. This means that we will be able to see and play with the brand’s Eyes to Kill Eyeshadows (those sparkly gems!), Luminous Silk Foundation (so smooth on the skin), Rouge d’Armani (like silk on the lips).
We will also be able to try Giorgio Armani Crema Nera, the brand’s premium skincare range which includes the signature Obsidian Mineral Regenerating Cream.
Even better news is the fact that the prices are very reasonable. According to the press release, they will range from S$25 to S$1532. The last is a curious number; I’m guessing it’s the price of one of the luxe skincare items. (ETA: see below!)
Here are the prices of most of the Giorgio Armani Beauty products in Singapore:
- Blushing Fabric – S$63
- Designer Lift Foundation – S$84
- Eyes to Kill Intense Eye Shadow – S$41
- Eyes to Kill Waterproof Mascara – S$46
- Face Fabric Second Skin Nude Makeup SPF 12 – S$65
- Gloss d’Armani – S$43
- Lasting Silk UV Compact – S$51
- Lasting Silk UV Foundation SPF 20 – S$73
- Luminous Silk Compact – S$66
- Luminous Silk Foundation – S$73
- Maestro Eye Liner – S$40
- Maestro Eye Shadow – S$33
- Maestro Eye Shadow Quator – S$66
- Micro-Fil Loose Powder – S$70
- Rouge d’Armani – S$43
- Sheer Blush – S$50
- Smooth Silk Eye Pencil – S$35
As a point of comparison, the Eyes to Kill shadows are US$32 in the States but this is only slightly less than the S$41 it costs here, thanks to the current low exchange rates. HURRAY for makeup math that works in our favour!

How heartening it is to see Singapore experience a beauty boom this year. Now, we need only wait for Nars and Tom Ford to arrive, to satisfy our high-end makeup yearnings! ;)
Special thanks to my friend Elaine, who very kindly told me some of the prices and allowed me to use her photos.
Oh my, I’m terribly excited about this! Have heard so much about their liquid foundation, thanks for sharing this post! :)
Hi Germs,
You’re welcome! I’m really happy about this too. It’s been too long since I’ve seen GA products in person, beyond the few pieces that I already own. Happy shopping. :)
I am looking forward to get their ETK eyeshadow and the quator!
Thanks for the great info :)
Hi Meryl,
I love that the EtKs are here at last. :) Happy shopping!
Yay, DFS is finished! Can’t wait to come back and play. The GA prices sound pretty good in comparison to Australia. I must admit that I’ve stopped looking at my local counter because of the jaw-dropping prices!
Hi Sam,
It’s like a regular department store, though I’d imagine it’ll have more perks for tourists. :) Hope you score many duty-free goodies when you’re back!
They didn’t bring in the latest ETK shadows
Hello dear,
I know! A pity. I hope they come in soon, though.
oooh my purdy little GA blushes! the Sheer blushes seems to be a bit cheaper compared to HK & TW prices! about RM10 cheaper, if I am not mistaken. HK used to be known as 1 of the cheapest place in Asia for GA tee hee!
Hey Plue,
Thank you for reminding me of the blushes! I can’t believe I’d forgotten about them – it’s been too long since I’ve played with GA, haha! Glad to know GA is quite affordable on this sunny island. Come soon to shop! ;)

Hi, stupid question, but Singaporeans can purchase products from DFS Galleria as well?
Hi Can i check if you know the price for the Master Corrector concealer?
Hi Valerie,
I don’t, sorry. Do call the counter to check. :)
Wondering is there any chance GA will be back in Kuala Lumpur?
Hi Intan,
I’ve no idea. You might want to check with ParisB of My Women Stuff.
