Lead whiteness and chalk were used as a foundation, and instead of lipstick, animal fat, wax and red clay were mixed. Every century, cosmetic products have been improved and now, in the 21st century, the range of such products has no boundaries. On the shelves you can find a huge amount of cosmetics, but how to make a choice? We’ll talk about such a high-quality branded product as the Givenchy foundation and find out how far the cosmetics industry has gone.
Without which there is no perfect make-up
Every girl knows what means can not be done when performing high-quality makeup. At the moment, the catchy make-up is no longer in fashion and everyone wants to look more natural. But this task is not easy. The reason for this is the skin problems that are present in 90% of girls and women. As a result of hormonal failures, poor nutrition, stress, lack of sleep, small pimples, red spots, bruises under the eyes and other cosmetic defects that are difficult to put up with appear. It is such a tool, such as the Givenchy foundation, that is designed to cope with this problem.
Are there any secrets to using this product? How to choose a foundation that will mask all the imperfections, but will not be visible on the face? Let's try to understand these issues in more detail.
Perfect makeup foundation
Each product is unique in its composition. The components that are included in a particular product provide the texture of the cream, its consistency, its acid-base balance (pH), tone, as well as the capabilities of the product: matting, UV protection, etc.
A wonderful example is a tool such as the Givenchy Photo'Perfection foundation. This product has the ability to mask facial imperfections specifically for the photo shoot. It will be discussed in more detail below. In general terms, it is possible to indicate that tonal creams are classified by skin type (for dry - based on oils, for oily - based on alcohol), by shade (light, dark, natural), by consistency (liquid, dense and powder based cakes ) etc. For example, the Givenchy Tent foundation has six different shades in the line, it is intended for combination and oily skin, and it is protected from UV rays. The choice of one or another “tonal” also depends on many factors. Let's consider them in more detail.
What you need to pay special attention to
First of all, it is necessary to select a remedy depending on the type of skin. No matter how branded and expensive the product, if it is made on the basis of alcohol, it will dry the skin, for the oily type it will be wonderful moisturizing, but dry skin will peel off even more. In some cases, when using a foundation based on alcohol, it is allowed to use a cream base for makeup. If you apply a cream based on oils to oily skin, acne and blackheads may occur. In addition, such a tool on oily skin will shine unnecessarily.
Each company produces a “tonalnik” in at least 3 shades, take, for example, Givenchy Matissim. The foundation, the reviews of experts about which are positive, has six different tones in its lineup, and so each girl can choose the right shade for herself.
Brand "Givenchy"
Givenchy is not just a brand or a cosmetic company. This is a French fashion house that combines stylish clothes, shoes, unique accessories and, of course, high-quality cosmetics and perfumes. This brand was created by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952 in France. Since 1987, the fashion house has been part of the LVMH concern (Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton).
Givenchy is a world-famous company that embodies the style of French aristocracy and luxury. Zhivanshi cosmetic products are very easy to recognize by their creative design and brand price. In addition, tonal products and other cosmetics are of very high quality and ease of use. The art director of the company, Nicole Dejenne, took care not only of a combination of modern colors and textures, but also of the convenience in using this or that tool. For example, the Givenchy Matissim foundation has a very convenient dispenser: two clicks are enough to apply it to the surface of the entire face. Women who use this cream are delighted with this dispenser.
Givenchy Photo'Perfexion
To prevent small flaws in the photo, many photographers use photo editors. The new Givenchy foundation can solve the problem without the use of Photoshop. The company's experts have developed a unique product that qualitatively masks all the flaws.
It is very important to choose the right shade, and then the exclusive SkinPerfector complex included in the product will even out the skin and hide small pimples. Especially for the camera lens after applying the foundation, the face will acquire a certain glow, due to which the skin will look smooth and silky. The cream is intended for combination skin; it moisturizes and mattifies well. The volume of the bottle is 25 ml, but it is enough for a fairly large amount of time. Reviews of girls conducting a photo shoot with this tool are very positive.
Givenchy Teint Couture Fluide Haute Tenue
In 2013, an interesting novelty appeared called “Awning couture fluid” - the “Givenchy” foundation. Reviews of this product indicate that the product is intended exclusively for oily skin. In the cream, you can see alcohol, aluminum crystals, citric acid. All these components dry the skin, eliminate and block the appearance of oily sheen. This tool does not require a base for makeup.
The use of the product on dry skin can cause peeling. Girls note that “Givenchy Couture Fluid” foundation cream gives the skin a feeling of freshness, evens out the tone and is almost invisible on the face.
Givenchy Eclat Matissime
As already mentioned, this product is presented in six different shades: porcelain, shell - natural, sand, beige, honey, gold, ginger - orange and amber. The cream has a fluid consistency and is easily distributed on the face. The composition includes zinc ions, medicinal ginger root extract, carbopolis root extract and other unique components.
Women note that it moisturizes dry skin, making it smooth and even. Givenchy Matissim has one very important difference - it remains in effect for 9 hours. It does not roll on the face and is not taken in spots, which is very important.
New - Givenchy Teint Couture Sun Protection SPF 15
The Givenchy Tent Couture foundation is very popular this year. It does not dry the skin, while protecting it from UV radiation. Such a tool is perfect for use in hot seasons. The sun destroys collagen fibers, and the skin becomes less elastic. This tool will protect the dermis from the effects of the environment, while matting imperfections and moisturizing it. The cream of "Givenchy Tent Couture" includes vitamin E and jasmine extract.
These components provide antioxidant protection, preventing skin aging. Reviews of girls who use this tool confirm that it actually nourishes dry skin, prevents peeling and is suitable for use in the hot season.
Which foundation to choose
The choice of such a tool as a foundation depends primarily on what functions are necessary for it to perform: hide the oily sheen, remove peeling, and even out the complexion. It is necessary to determine which problem among the above listed concerns most, and according to it, choose a tinting agent. In addition, it is very important to pay attention to the consistency of the “tonal”. The dense structure of the cream lays on the face more noticeably, therefore such a tool is preferable to use in the winter.
For hot summer days, the tinting product should be light and airy, absorb well, hide imperfections and have sunscreen properties. For example, the Givenchy Tent foundation, reviews of which we reviewed above, is perfect for hot, sultry days, and Givenchy Teint Couture Fluide Haute Tenue can cope with such a problem as oily sheen. If the other day is an important photo shoot and you need to look stunning, you can use the tonal tool "Givenchy Photo Performance".
In addition, each product has its own exposure time (from 6 to 12 hours on average), when buying a particular product, it is necessary to take into account how much foundation will be on the skin. Of course, it is especially important to choose the right shade. The fact is that many girls always strive to choose a foundation of a darker shade than their skin. Of course, the darker the product, the better it masks the flaws, but on the other hand, the boundaries of applying the cream are then more noticeable. For a more natural and at the same time masking makeup, you can use several shades. By applying them to different parts of the face, you can not only remove cosmetic defects, but also reduce the cheekbones, shift the focus to the eyes, and highlight the lip area.
In the evening, when the need for makeup is reduced, it is necessary to cleanse the face with lotion or toner to remove makeup. In any case, you need to know that proper facial skin care and choosing the right foundation will help you stay beautiful and young for a long time.
