DIEGO DALLA PALMA

The New York Times once defined the established make-up artist as “The guru of make-up made in Italy”. Thirty-two years ago he opened his first make-up studio in Milan in the heart of Brera and created his own make-up line. Prioritising personality and style, Diego Dalla Palma’s philosophy is to use make-up as a vehicle to enhance people’s identity, always in search of new products.

It is worth a sneak peak at what is more a little temple of beauty rather than a flagship store: even though there’s no liquids allowed in your hand luggage and not enough time for a personalised service, you won’t leave without at least one of his fab nail polishes.
