Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Effet Extension is a mascara with a spherical brush and a new-generation formula that coats each lash and dries quickly for an immediate lengthening effect. The secret of this mascara’s high-definition lengthening power lies in its extending and fixing: It strikes the perfect balance between the formula’s elasticity and drying time.

Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Effet Extension now in 3 NEW Colors: Blue, Khaki, and Plum.

Tips Choosing the right Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Effet Extension shade for you:

Blue: Perfect for all eye colors. Blue eyes appear more blue. Brown eyes more golden. And hazel eyes more green. Blue makes eyes look brighter and whiter. 

Just to to clarify rumors: Uma Thurman is NOT replacing Liv Tyler as the face of Parfums Givenchy!

You may have heard or read about Givenchy’s recent partnership with Uma Thurman for a new women’s fragrance. However, rumors are surfacing that Uma is replacing Liv Tyler as the face of the brand, and that is NOT true. Liv Tyler will remain the face of Parfums Givenchy and Very Irresistible fragrance!

Here are the details: Parfums Givenchy is proud to announce its future collaboration with actress Uma Thurman as the face of a new fragrance set to launch in Europe this fall, with a possible launch in the US in 2010.

While Liv Tyler will continue her role as the face of the brand and the Very Irresistible Fragrance franchise, Parfums Givenchy will be adding Thurman to its roster via a distinct campaign for a new scent. Thurman is the face of a new women’s fragrance only, and details about the fragrance, campaign, and partnership will be revealed later this summer.

I’m so excited to share with you my interview with Nicolas Degennes, Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director for Beauty Interviews. Here it is:

Nicolas Degennes is Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director. Nicolas is the brilliant mind behind Givenchy Spring 2009 Maharani Makeup Collection and of Givenchy’s many other beautiful makeup. I met Nicolas at a Givenchy breakfast in New York City and was absolutely mesmerized with his speech. Nicolas made me fall in love with Givenchy, makeup, beauty, and being a woman. I had to share my life changing experience meeting Nicolas with you.

In this interview Nicolas Degennes takes us back to Paris at age 16 where the love for art and beauty began for him, his philosophy about makeup, memorable celebrity collaborations such as with Monica Bellucci, Kristin Scott Thomas and Liv Taylor. Some of the must-have Givenchy products in every woman’s makeup bag, and where he finds his biggest inspirations in life.

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with beauty begin?
Nicolas Degennes: My passion with makeup and the arts began when I was a child. I left Paris at the tender age of 16 to follow my dream to study the arts, music, theater and photography. While exploring my fascination with arts in a fresh and inspiring environment, I befriended a great makeup artist in New York who introduced me to the world of makeup. Beauty and makeup became my newfound passion, and I have been working in this field ever since.

On my recent trip to New York City, I had breakfast with Givenchy! Yes, Givenchy, sounds a bit like ‘breakfast at Tiffany’s’ right? Needless to say, that day changed my life. I know, I’m a bit over dramatic, but it’s true. If you had the opportunity to meet and hear Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director Nicolas Degennes I’m sure you too would  fall in love…with Givenchy, with makeup, beauty, and being a woman.

Nicolas Degennes presented us with Givenchy’s Spring 2009 Makeup Collection or the Maharani Spring 2009 Collection and walked with us through his inspiration journey when creating this beautiful collection. Which in case was India.

Nicolas’ philosophy about makeup and beauty is all about freedom. The freedom to express yourself with makeup and be what you want to be, and the freedom to play with makeup. He told us many times at the meeting to please touch the makeup, feel it, don’t be afraid to play with it and make it your own!

I’m wearing Givenchy today: Prismissime – 22 Maharani Apricots. Shade #5 from left to right on my eye lid and a bit on my crease, and shade #1 from left on my brow-bone and inner corner.

I’ve lined eye lids with one of the best eye pencils I’ve ever tried, Magic Kajal Eye Pencil! It is rich in pigment, glides on easily on skin, and lasts all day. Really, you have to try this! Nicholas Degennes told us at the meeting that in India both men and women wear an eye liner such as the Magic Kajal Eye Pencil to protect them from the sun!
