The vibrant shades combined with high-quality, professional textures will help you to create wonderful, show-stopping looks and make you feel on top of the world.

Nicolas Degennes, the Creative Director of Givenchy Makeup and the designer of this collection highlights that this is a very special, un-conventional beauty story of summer 2011: ''Sparkling and seductive, the neon lights call out in every language to join the life of the community, to share. Their glow brightens the darkest corners and beautifies the eyes with a tangy multicoloured brilliance. It mutes the volumes and makes the materials come alive. Like veins of light, pulsing with a unifying electrified energy that sweeps away all inertia, the neon colours resonate and amplify each other, stirring up a rebellious atmosphere in a world that knows no inhibition. Bridging the gap between day and night, neon is the vital force of summer 2011. A season that’s a call to enjoyment, to enjoy greater freedom. And we dare to answer that call, fearing no other consequence than a moment of happiness… to be shared.''

So let us guide you through the Acid Summer Collection:
