Givenchy Spring 2013: Hotel Prive

Look away now if this is too early for you, but Givenchy’s spring offering is rather beautiful. 

It’s colour packed – a fresh, milky pink theme and a move away from the prism (thank god) is symbolic of a change of direction for the brand. It’s actually quite exciting to see an evolution like this – it doesn’t happen very often – brands rarely move away from their cornerstone pieces. The light isn’t the best.. in particular I think the palette has suffered a bit because it is much fresher and brighter in the ‘flesh’.

There is a prism blush sneaking into the collection along with Mister Mat, a mattifying primer and two mascaras plus a beige lipstick for a natural look.
