For Spring 2017, Givenchy has a new line of powder blushes designed to define and sculpt the cheeks. With a silky and smooth formulation adjustable intensity, the Prisme Blush Highlight & Structure Powder Blush Duo ($55 CAD) is available in six gorgeous shades. To see some swatches and read my review, click......
Packaging:
The Givenchy Prisme Blush Highlight & Structure Powders are housed in a stunning shiny black compact. The lid bears a raised silver Givenchy logo and the compact closes with a silver stud button. The compact inside is divided in half, you get 6.5g of product and a mini powder brush. Quality-wise, the brush is just okay so I personally could have done without it. Nevertheless, it will still come in handy when I'm on the go.
Formulation:
Although the name suggests that this is a highlighting and structuring cheek powder, the Prisme Blush Highlight & Structure Powders are no more than standard blushes to me. The pan is divided in half and one side features a lighter shade and the other a brighter shade. The two can be used separately but because of the small size of the pan, it's difficult to swipe into one shade without picking up the other.
Pigmentation-wise, these are on the sheerer side. However, that's not an issue for me. When it comes to blushes, I've come to prefer a sheerer formulation over the years just because it's easier to apply and build. The powders are all very silky and finely-milled and all four shades below give such a nice and brightening effect. There are some very subtle sparkles so the blushes provide a natural glow that lights up the complexion. In terms of wear, these were surprisingly long-lasting because the color stayed put at the end of the day. Lastly, the blushes have a beautiful floral fragrance that's light and feminine.
04 Rite: A combination of a baby peach and a pale pink, this duo is the sheerest out of the bunch. The two colors blend to form a sheer warm pink.
03 Spice: This one is made up of a cool baby pink and a warm orange-coral. The two shades mix to form a soft peach.
01 Passion: Consisting of a light neutral beige and a bright coral-pink, this duo is the most pigmented out of the four. When blended, the two shades make a youthful coral.
06 Romantica: This is a combination of a soft peach beige and a light mauve pink. The two blends to form a nice cool pink.
Availability:
Givenchy is available online and in stores at Sephora. The Prisme Blush Highlight & Structure Blush Duo range will be available starting April 20th.
