The latest products released from Givenchy truly embody the key trends of the Spring/Summer 2016 runways with a focus on fresh skin, natural enhancement and pastel tones. When looking at the advertisement element of this unit in regards to Givenchy and the trends of S/S 2016 it makes sense to create a look based on the products that would be accessible to the makeup artists working for the brand but also to the general public of which the products will be marketed to. In addition to this is the attention paid to the trends themselves, with a heavier focus this season on the natural face it is important to retain this ideology and colour palette within the creations for my advertisement looks. The focus on skin and use of grey/brown tones as opposed to black is something that stands out to me most from this collection as the combination of products allows for a otherworldly elegance yet also a sense of allowing more realism in regards to the expectations of beauty. Embracing the natural state. Commonly pink is not a colour of favour within my work however the use of these natural tints within this makeup collection reflect a degree of innocence as it reminds one of the tinted balms of our early teen years. By taking women back to this time through a more sophisticated branding it adds sophistication to natural beauty. 

Givenchy states this collections intention is to transform the Givenchy woman in a celebration of all skin tones therefore allowing for every woman to have a taste of delicate, ethereal beauty while embodying the every woman. The collection was heavily inspired by the idea of light and luminosity, focusing in particular on how light can bring life into things. Each product is designed to embody this ideology through illuminating the complexion and adding subtle hues of pink to create a kaleidoscope effect on the skin. Unlike many previous advertisement campaigns the connotations of the Givenchy woman have been heavily softened by this campaign and the idea of the “everywoman” enhanced to change the ideology of women to love them selves. Within the collection there is not hint of colour correction, concealer or foundation, instead each product caters to the focus of luminosity and care for the delicate features of the face.
