For years, I used the YSL Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation so I'm accustomed to foundations which incorporate an applicator into the packaging. With the brush style applicator, I found that my base had tell tale brush streaks if I didn't blend thoroughly so I was intrigued to see how Givenchy's new foam tipped applicator would measure up.
I'm highly impressed with the application- it's super easy, blendable and gives a pro-finish. You simply give the bottle a sharp shake downwards, squeeze lightly (I was apprehensive about this but the flow is pretty steady) and massage onto the face using the foam tip. I really liked that the foam tip doesn't drag on skin. I do wonder how much wastage there will be and I don't like that it's lacking an on/off switch as I'd be nervous to use this on the go, which seems a shame given how functional it would be.
Photo'Perfexion gives a lightweight yet buildable coverage with light reflective particles- some may find this a little on the glittery side but it's very subtle and I adored the flawless finish. The formula of the foundation leaves a lovely velvety feeling on skin and it doesn't sit heavily at all. It's delicately scented, reminiscent of luxury skin creams which was a major plus point for me, together with the inclusion of SPF10.
The foundation is available in 6 shades and is priced at £30.50 which I think is a fair price, comparable to similar products.
