Givenchy Folie de Noirs 2014 Christmas Collection

Givenchy presents its Christmas Collection for 2014, the Folie de Noirs. This makeup range really stands out from the rest of the (traditional) Christmas offer, as it revolves around dark and mysterious hues, spiced up with some festive glitter.

Traditionally, for their Holiday-themed collections, most of the beauty brands go with glamorous reds and golds… Givenchy, however, offers quite fresh interpretation of the impassable theme, and translates the holiday glamour into grimly dark hues infused with light-refracting particles….

The central piece of Givenchy’s Folie de Noirs collection is the beautiful eye shadow palette named Givnechy Le Prismissime Yeux Noirs En Folie. The palette comprises nine shimmering shades, packed in a luxurious mirrored compact case embellished with glittering star-burst motif. The collection of shades includes a deep purples, bronze gold, Martian red, black, jade, titanium and a couple of variations of blue… The colors are inspired by semi-precious stones, and they are designed to be worn with an evening dress, just like a piece of jewelry… £40. 50

Givenchy Ombre Couture Noir Sequin complements the eye shadow palette, with its deep black hue infused with glitter. This mono eye shadow can be used both as a liner and as a base color. It is ideal whenever you want to add some mystery and glamour to your look. Its rich dark shade ensures long-lasting hold and dazzling, galaxy-like finish. £18

Finally, there is a Givenchy Phenomen’eyes Bleu Folie mascara in an intense midnight blue shade. Ever since it was launched, this product has been a part of all Givenchy’s special collections. It features a high-tech, patented round sphere brush that grip at lashes starting at the roots. £23 For the lips, Givency suggests its Gloss Revelateur Magic Lip Gloss, which is a transparent-formula lip gloss ideal for a color-enhanced natural sheen.
