Another warm day in New York, another new summer color range to talk about. To properly usher in the season of sun, sand, and skin-baring, Givenchy has just debuted its Acid Summer collection. Clever name, and it couldn’t be more apt, given the line’s Le Prismissime Yeux, a nine-color eye shadow quad featuring a palette [...]

Dahlia Noir, Riccardo Tisci’s first fragrance for the house of Givenchy, will debut in August and feature a print campaign starring his muse Mariacarla Boscono. Love the visuals. [The Fashion Spot]

According to new reports, it looks like Kate Middleton’s wedding hair will be fashioned into an updo by her trusted stylist Richard Ward, before it’s topped off with a tiara. But Ward’s peers [...]

Liv Tyler has been making the front-row rounds this month and let us just say, bravo. At Givenchy, she easily bested Kanye West in the battle of the Rottweiler sweater, accessorizing it with minimal makeup and her signature lustrous locks blown out and middle parted. A few weeks earlier at Proenza Schouler, she added a [...]

It may reduce the likelihood of future fine lines and wrinkles, but one solid month into winter, our lack of sun exposure is making for an increasingly ghostly pallor. Until the weather becomes more bearable, there’s always blush. Following our trial of Benefit’s Bella Bamba and Tarte’s new Amazonian Clay powders, we’ve been test-driving Givenchy’s [...]

The orange-lip discussion points just keep coming! At Charlize Theron’s African Outreach project dinner last night in New York, Liv Tyler sported a high-shine, deep tangerine gloss. It reminded us of the lacquered pumpkin pouts Charlotte Tilbury whipped up backstage at Jill Stuart this season, layering a lipstick and gloss from the designer’s eponymous cosmetics [...]

As the holiday beauty launches continue to flood my desk, I’ve designated a special place for the products I find most alluring. To the right of my computer and at arm’s length, should I want to sample from it, is Givenchy’s Vintage Christmas collection. According to the French brand’s artistic director of makeup, Nicolas Degennes, [...]

Between Christophe Robin’s color dabbling at Hakaan (he gave Shirley Mallmann lilac-gray streaks, turned Milica Blagojevic a Rihanna red, and Iris Strubegger flaxen in one show) and the much-discussed platinum blondes at Balenciaga, we can barely keep up with the hair color heroics currently taking shape in Paris. Yesterday’s Givenchy presentation offered yet another mane [...]

When Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara, with its brilliant spherical wand design, launched two years ago, there was nothing else like it on the market. Until, that is, L’Oréal introduced Telescopic Explosion Mascara (and its Penélope Cruz-fronted TV commercial) last fall, with a similarly shaped spiky-ball applicator, for about a third of the price of the Givenchy [...]

The Mission: Give Christina Ricci an art-meets-fashion beauty look for Givenchy’s closing party for Marina Abramović’s The Artist Is Present exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The Face Painter: NARS national makeup artist Francelle.
The Face: To build on the already impressive canvas that is Christina Ricci’s gorgeous porcelain skin, Francelle used NARS’ [...]
