Like a Bollywood film, Nicolas Degennes creates an extravaganza of colour to make everyday life a dream. “I saw India as a bombardment of colours bursting forth to the rhythm of filmi music. I had already been a fan of this infectious, upbeat music for a long time, but of course it was the imagery that really grabbed me — Bollywood and its palettes of colours burst with beams of light. Melodramatic love stories… But love stories all the same, with all the emotion, the ardour, the passion of hearts that are torn apart and the struggle through hardship… The stuff of life! And the women! So beautiful, vivacious, dazzling… … and yet so sweetly demure. A homage to Indian beauty, heightened with a discreet air of eroticism and anchored in the purest tradition. What I adore in these love sagas is the eternal femininity in a showcase of flashy, ultra-kitsch glamour and gaudy music.

Agreed! Such a pretty picture.

That is so beautiful – one of the few spring collections calling to me. I’m so tired of muted, pastel, YLBB colors. Bring on the intensity for us olive toned, brunette gals!
Christine

What do you want most from this launch, Katherine?
Katherine
Monday, December 22, 2008
Everything except the Prismissime Visage. That I’ll probably pass on. But the rest, look out wallet!
Christine
Monday, December 22, 2008
Haha!! I am saving up now for all the spring stuff!

I can’t wait to see how the liquid eyeshadows perform!
Victoria
Monday, December 22, 2008
Me too:) I think it will be nice & sparkling:) and i hope it will be so:)
Christine
Monday, December 22, 2008
I hope it’s wearable, too… like it won’t crease like crazy or anything like that.
Victoria
Monday, December 22, 2008
:)))) I think it’s wearable, any “wet” shadows need to dry for few seconds before you’ll open your eyes:)) Chanel OMBRE D’EAU FLUID IRIDESCENT EYESHADOW never dry out:))), i don’t recommended it, looks slovenly, but shiseido creamy eyeshadows are really comfortable:)
Christine
Monday, December 22, 2008
As long as it’ll hold after it’s dry, LOL! At least for a couple of hours, right? ;)
Victoria
Monday, December 22, 2008
Shiseido? No! They hold all day long, not crease, it’s true!

Purdy!! I really love the look of the compacts! I’d be interested in getting the blushes and Prismissime Visage just for the compacts alone!
Btw, my younger sister’s name is Rani and yes she acts like a Maharani!!

Hi Christine, could you do a tutorial for the look on the model in this promo shot? I especially would love to know how the eyeliner is applied to the lower lid. :-) tia!!
