“For Autumn-Winter 2012, Acoustic Colors offers a score of magnetic and undulating colours on a harmonious stave of references. It is a show in which colours, lights and vibrations perform with an electric, rock ‘n’ roll energy. This score was partly inspired by Liv Tyler, my accomplice, who grew up in a world of sound and image. I asked her to colour her inner music that day. Pink. Natural. Two shades of LIVely Pink for the lips.”

–Nicolas Degennes, Givenchy Makeup Artistic Director

What do ya think?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Happy hump day. 🙂

    I love them all and think they are great palettes for the fall. I can definitely see the Liv Tyler inspiration with the rock and roll vibe. Great post!

    I had to stare at the eyeshadow quad for a few moments before I could decide that I like it! :p

    My gut reaction was: “TOO MUCH SHIMMER!” But the more I look at it, the more I can see the different ways I could use it.

    I like the quad. It looks more promising than the NARS Arabian Nights trio.

    Karen, do you keep all the makeup the companies send you? I want to see the complete stash sometime!

    The quad feels like its a tad too shimmery … or does it? I want it because the colors are so interesting and different.

      Hi Nina!

      It’s quite unusual for Givenchy…and I like it. 🙂 I can’t wait to try this with a smokey eye. Hopefully the glitter won’t fall out.

      Are you finished with shopping for a present for your hub’s bday?

        Yep! I got him several things that hes been wanting for a while. He always says he doesnt want anything but I pick up on things he talks about! 🙂

    Holy Glitter-fest! As long as that shimmer stays put and doesn’t fall out then I might like it. I’ve never seen so much glitter from Givenchy. The lipstick looks pretty though!

      Hi Tracy!

      It’s super pretty — very natural — and it feels wonderful on the lips. 🙂

      Hope you’re having a nice week so far!

      Hi Gio,

      Super shimmery! It should make a fun smokey eye, don’t you think?

      Hi Agata!

      I didn’t know you were a glitter kinda gal. 😀 This quad’s bursting with glitter, but it’s fine, which is nice.

      How’s your week going? Good, I hope. Things on this end are great. We’re having some really nice weather here in the Bay Area — warm but not sweltering hot. It’s hard to be inside!

        I am totally a shimmer and glitter girl! To be honest I hardly ever use matte eyeshadows anymore. Of course, I like my glitter to be subtle, not be chunky and very visible.

        My week has been good so far, nothing too exciting. The weather here is beautiful but it’s too hot, high 80s or 90s. I am kinda looking forward to Fall already.

    Wait, the Magic gloss is clear, but then it turns pink once applied to the lips? That looks fun!

      Yeah! It adjusts to your body temp and turns a lovely pink shade. 🙂 Isn’t it cute how the brush tip is hot pink?

    I’m normally a glitterphob but I like the selection of shades in this palette. Can’t wait till you do a smoky eye with it. If there’s no fallout I might have to cave. The lipstick looks like a nice everyday shade.

    It’s a bit too much glitter for my liking–but as usual Givenchy’s packaging has gotten to me and I want it anyway 😛

    I like shimmer, but this is too glittery for me. I’ll pass for these, except maybe the lipstick. That does look very pretty 🙂

    I don’t really need to respond, do I? 🙂

    I can’t wait to see you do a FOTD with this and I’m especially interested in the Acoustic Wild Rose lippie. The packaging has a fantastic disco ball feel to it. And how can anyone not love Liv Tyler. She’s adorable. And she’s Arwen, for goodness sake. 🙂

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
