GIVENCHY LE MAKEUP CHRISTMAS 2009 COLLECTION

At the heart of my romantic season, a set of fine jewels for Christmas.

From feminine pink to elegant dark grey, it’s the glamorous touch that says “I love you”. Even the beautiful Cleopatra allegedly drank her most precious pearl dissolved in vinegar to prove her love to Mark Antony.

Known as Aphrodite’s tears or seeds of the Gods, pearls have always been a symbol of purity, rarity and mystery. A host of virtues – curative, mystical and even aphrodisiac – seem to radiate from this timeless precious jewel.

As a gift to others or to oneself, pearls – once reserved for kings and gods only – enhance any outfit with their purity, perceived fragility and radiance.

Submerged in softness, the Christmas 2009 collection plunges into the world of this round gem of many myths.

Will the pearl-like eyes created by my PRISME PERLES unravel these mysteries?

Will lips turned pink with ROUGE INTERDIT SHINE dare to pronounce the words that open hearts?

Will happiness be seen on faces bearing my PRISME and PRISMISSIME VISAGE?

Like a pearl, my collection needs a woman’s skin to glow with radiance.

Make it come alive!

LE PRISME PERLES – Limited Edition
Pearl Case – 4 Pearly Eyeshadows

A strand of pearls – grey, pink, white and with gold reflections. All these shades
come in a gift pack for pearlescent, refined eyelids.
With its softness and radiance, this new prism for the eyes can also give shape
to other areas of the face such as the bridge of the nose, the upper cheekbones
or the lip contours. A touch of pink can accentuate the temples and
cheeks, and the décolleté can be highlighted with a pearlescent caress of the
fingertips.

This multi-purpose tool, packaged in an elegant black satin case, offers luminous
beauty thanks to a very high concentration of pearlescent particles. Tiny silica
beads ensure optimal softness and make it easy to apply with the fingertips. The
compact contains three applicators for more precise application, and its black
and pink satin pouch cinched with a pink ribbon makes it fit for the stars.

LE PRISME VISAGE – Limited Edition
Soft Compact Face Powder – Natural Result – 4 Colours
For a delicate, flawless complexion, this collector’s edition comes in a
customised pearly-pink slide compact, bringing a new colour-harmony to the
“Le Prisme Visage” range: Beige Mousseline.
This atomised powder reveals an incredibly soft and silky texture for an ultramatte,
radiant result.

LE PRISMISSIME VISAGE – Limited Edition
Soft Compact Face Powder – Made-to-Measure Glow – 9 Colours
Also packaged in a tender pink customised slide compact, the “Le Prismissime
Visage” range features a new colour-harmony, too: Light Silk.
Fine powders make these two matte and glow textures soft and pleasant to
apply. Use individually or all together for a slightly pearlescent or iridescent
makeup effect.
