Nicolas Degennes who is an artistic director at Givenchy, was inspired by the refined beauty of Indian women,therefore creating the Sari Spring Collection.The collection features warm shades of gold ,orange, and pink similar to those Indian women wear in their makeup and clothing.20-year Slovakian model, Michaela Kocianovais the face for Givenchy’s Maharani Collection.Even though she looks ravishing,it would have been nice if they chosen a famous Bollywood actress or upcoming Indian model to be the face of this collection.

I’m not a blush wearer, but they are by far the most interesting and exciting items in this entire collection.Maharani Orange and Pink Sari Glow Blush ($42) are iridescent with a subtle shimmer.The blush packing is simply gorgeous. I really like the orange and pink/purple combo with the gold overlay.The blushes themselves have a black design overlay.This collection is very wearable for people of olive complexion or dark skin tones.Givenchy will also be releasing a limited edition face and eye called Prismissime Visage Palettes.These palettes are prefect for those who have tanned or pale skin.
