Black is the key
THIS season, cosmetics brands have very different ideas about make-up trends. Luxury fashion and perfume house Givenchy is no exception, what with the launch of a collection on the theme of black, or more precisely, on the theme of an innovative black that highlights skin colour and texture.
Called The L'Autre Noirline, we are not talking about a collection that is solely composed of dark colours, quite the contrary, because in this case black is employed to highlight skin colour and texture.
In a play of light and shadow, with multiple radiance and colour enhancing effects, black is to play a wide-ranging new role in this daring and graphic make-up collection, notably by breathing life into innovative products
Special attention is paid to lips in this new collection. The centre piece of L'Autre Noir is Le Rouge Sculpt, Givenchy's first two-tone lipstick, which combines colour and contour in a single tube.
In more detail, the contour is composed of a tone-on-tone relative of the main colour, enriched with a highlighting black. The net result of all of this is that the primary colour is all the more luminous.
This must-have is available in five shade harmonies that range from red to coral, and from pink to fuchsia and dark purple.
Also for the lips, is Gloss Noir Revelateur that adapts to every smile. It can be used solo for a bitten-lips effect, or over lipstick to enhance brilliance and colour.
For its part, the Lip Liner Noir Revelateur is an all-in-one that intensifies colour, creates relief, and prevents lipstick from bleeding.
Finally, to complete this offering for lips, the iconic Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick range has been extended to include seven new shades in tubes that are wrapped with genuine black leather: a red, a raspberry, a pink, a brown, a coral, a purple and a prune that will certainly meet the expectations of fans of this indispensable product.
Other products include Blush Noir Revelateur, a black formula that intensifies the natural prominence of cheekbones with a hint of pink and two new innovations for eyes – Liner Vinyl Rosy Black and L'Ombre Couture Rosy Black, which offer deep, dark, black shadows with pink and purple highlights. – AFP Relaxnews Applying eyeliner is one of the toughest things to get right in make-up so MAC has come up with the MAC Roller Wheel Liquid Eyeliner to make it easier. — Trendmood1
