Week's must-try beauty product: Vibrant, Hydrating Foundation for a Harmonious Skin Experience
Givenchy Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation: A Luxurious, Glow-Enhancing Foundation Worth the Splurge
This week, we delved into the world of high-end beauty during a visit to the new Givenchy Beauty space in Harrods. There, I met senior national makeup artist Claire Mulleady, who showed me how to apply the brand's Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation.
The Prisme Libre Glow Foundation is widely praised as a lightweight, glow-enhancing foundation with a silky, serum-like texture that provides medium, buildable coverage without feeling heavy or cakey on the skin. It contains effective skincare ingredients like micro hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which hydrate and plump the skin for a radiant, natural finish lasting up to 24 hours.
Claire deftly painted on the foundation, creating bang-on coverage for skin that looked even, but also, weirdly, like it's not got foundation on it at all. According to Claire, a second application of the foundation can deliver a more flawless finish.
The foundation effectively blurs imperfections like redness and large pores while allowing natural features such as freckles to show through, offering a second-skin effect. It suits all skin types, including combination skin, and has a 97% natural-origin formula.
For budget-conscious consumers seeking a lightweight, glowy foundation, reputable drugstore lines like L'Oreal, Maybelline, and Neutrogena provide effective alternatives worth trying. Here's a comparison of the Givenchy Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation and some affordable alternatives:
| Aspect | Givenchy Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation | Affordable Alternatives | |----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | Texture | Silky, serum-like, lightweight | Lightweight, some serum-infused | | Coverage | Medium, buildable | Light to medium, buildable | | Finish | Natural, radiant/glowy | Natural, dewy/glowy | | Key skincare Ingr. | Micro hyaluronic acid, ceramides, yuzu extract | Hyaluronic acid in some (Neutrogena, Maybelline) | | Skin Types | All, especially combination skin | Most skin types, select for dry/normal skin | | Price | $61 | $10–$25 | | Shade Range | 30 shades | Varies by brand, often fewer shades than Givenchy |
The author has stated that base is an important element of makeup routine and one of the only cosmetics where cost often correlates to greatness. However, in the case of the Givenchy Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation, the author has made an exception to their budget-buys-only policy.
The foundation's uniquely silky feel and skincare benefits make it a standout product in the market. It overflows with skincare ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which make a difference in skin health.
To demonstrate the foundation's long-lasting and lovely appearance, the author took selfies at the train station. The results spoke for themselves—the foundation delivered a natural, radiant glow that lasted throughout the day.
Next week, the author will return with a recommendation for a more affordable foundation. Until then, they invite readers to chat with them next Sunday.
