The search for that perfect foundation can feel never-ending, but lucky for us Givenchy (and Nicolas Degennes) are here to save the day with one hell of a wonder product. Simply put, this is an all-singing-all-dancing compact that seriously does it all. You name it, literally everything.

Like any good compact should, it works to refresh your face, boost radiance and, of course, hide imperfections. But boy does it do so much more than the necessities. It’s one of those products that may appear simple at first, then you dab your make-up brush in and discover a fully formed tableau of noteworthy benefits.

On top of your usual nude shade, Nicolas added a light pink powder which contains pearlescent particles to give the skin a ‘rosy’ and luminous base. Dig deeper and you discover that the inclusion of atomisation technology results in a second-skin effect – in other words, you can achieve that natural, model-off-duty complexion (which we’ve seen a LOT of backstage recently) with complete ease.
