Elegant Sand 3

By Melissa 4 years ago.

I love this. The coverage is really nice, the compact case is nice and sturdy. As with all Givenchy powder foundations, they look natural and just melt into the skin. This one comes with one of those white sponges which I think looks cheap, but I use a little puff to apply this. It has a strip of pink highlighter at the bottom. The worst thing about these powder foundations is how few pink undertones they offer. If I go higher than Sand or Satin, it is SO dark on me, but those 4 shades are pink usually. Since this has a strip of pink powder highlighter, it actually ends up mixing perfectly and matches my skin tone 100%. Sand is described as neutral, but I say it may have slightly more pink or maybe even peach in it. Just a tad, though. I recommend this if you're truly in the middle of light and light-medium with pink undertones. Elegant Shell is too light and Elegant Beige is too dark. Skip the Matissime and go for this one. Even though the Matissime Velvet powder foundation smells SO good....
