"  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not the most beautiful one of my family,&amp;quot; insists Mariacarla Boscono, the muse behind the latest Givenchy fragrance. In her fair-haired, green-eyed Roman clan, &amp;quot;I am the Calimero,&amp;quot; she says, laughingly referring to an iconic Italian cartoon about a hapless little black chicken in a family of blonds. &amp;quot;My mom always told me, `You&amp;#039;re very smart; you&amp;#039;re very funny,&amp;#039;\u2009&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;She never told me, `You&amp;#039;re very beautiful.&amp;#039; She didn&amp;#039;t know.&amp;quot; The fashion world, of course, has been onto that fact since Boscono was discovered as a teenager by a family friend who was a photographer. At 31, she still eschews most makeup and refuses to fret about drinking, smoking, or eating\u2014&amp;quot;No way. I&amp;#039;m Italian\u2014it comes with the passport.&amp;quot; But Boscono is endearingly high-maintenance in at least one department: A skin-care junkie, she lugs dozens of creams with her wherever she goes.  Does Riccardo tell you how to dress, since you are his muse? I wear his clothes in my own way, and he&amp;#039;s not very strict with me. I&amp;#039;m Roman, you know\u2014so I open up his shirt, I wear no stockings, I wear different colored shoes, I&amp;#039;m more cheery. He lets me get away with a lot.  Do you really travel with five bags of skin care? I&amp;#039;ve traveled three times a week for work for years. So it&amp;#039;s not a vain thing, it&amp;#039;s a practical thing. When you go from Paris, which can be rainy and humid, to the Bahamas to shoot and it&amp;#039;s sunny, then to Russia or New York where it&amp;#039;s minus 10, you can&amp;#039;t use the same products.  What are your favorites? A hot-water [compress] and then Givenchy Peel Me Perfectly, an at-home scrub\u2014you do that in an emergency when your face is falling apart. If I feel like I&amp;#039;m overdry from flying, I go with an Av\u00E8ne hydrating cream. I really like Filorga, a French brand, which makes pure vitamin C that you dab on.  Do you use any makeup? Kett. It&amp;#039;s a kind of three-dimensional white powder; it just gives you a...here, feel. [Runs interviewer&amp;#039;s finger across her velvety cheek] It&amp;#039;s really soft, and it doesn&amp;#039;t give you a matte finish. Everybody&amp;#039;s using it! It will change your world.  Is your hair naturally this dark and shiny? No, no. It&amp;#039;s light. It&amp;#039;s very many years I&amp;#039;ve colored my hair, but always with natural stuff; I hate the chemical things. I swim a lot, because I like to eat! And because my energy is so high I need to relax, so I put a lot of argan oil in my hair under my swim cap before I go into the pool. Boscono&amp;#039;s Beauty Favorites            Leonor Greyl Shampooing Cr\u00E8me Moelle de Bambou: &amp;quot;Ah, the smell\u2014I want to give it to my men!&amp;quot; Boscono says. &amp;quot;If I want a bit of makeup, I do a dark red mouth\u2014otherwise, I just go for Givenchy Magic Kh\u00F4l Eye Liner Pencil in Coffee on my lips and around my eyes.&amp;quot; Av\u00E8ne Hydrance Optimale Rich Hydrating Cream &amp;quot;replenishes dry skin but doesn&amp;#039;t give you pimples.&amp;quot; Kett Sett Powder Compact was developed for high-def TV cameras.
