Givenchy La Révélation Originelle for S/S16

LET THERE BE LIGHT...

AND THERE WAS LA RÉVÉLATION ORIGINELLE!

WITH THIS NEW COLLECTION, NICOLAS DEGENNES TELLS THE STORY OF HOW AN ANGELIC BEAUTY IS CREATED. AN IDEA OF INNOCENCE WITH UNIVERSAL VITALITY. THE GIVENCHY WOMAN WILL DEFINE HER OWN AURA, LIKE AN ENHANCING HALO TO REVEAL HER ZEST FOR LIFE. THE LIGHT OF THE DIVINE, THE LIGHT OF THE DIVA.

This is the description of the collection from Givenchy's website. I love this the look of this collection and while some of the colours used (the yellow cream shadow) aren't to my personal taste, the blue in particular is in keeping with S/S16 trends. I particularly love the idea of etherial beauty for Spring and I can see a clear link between this collection and the make up used on the catwalk for the Ready to wear show. I would like to focus on the highlighting powder as the theme between all of my looks with be the glowing, freckled and natural skin that was seen on all the the catwalks this season. The idea of using greys and browns to define the eyes really appeals to me as it is softer and less harsh than black.
