Today I will be reviewing Givenchy Photo Perfexion Fluid Foundation. I got the shade 08 Perfect Amber. I play from NC37 to 42 (MAC) for reference. It has SPF20, which is good for protection, kinda bad for flash photography though from the reviews I have read before purchasing, it was really good for photographs. It promises a dewy finish while giving a long lasting light to medium coverage.
I tested this last November 1st when I went to the cemetery to visit my dad. The weather was kinda cold (I went there in the evening) so I have no idea if it was indeed long lasting on my oily skin or it only lasted because of the weather. I will road test this tomorrow and give an update.

The consistency is not too runny nor too thick, but what impressed me is that not only does it blend like a
dream, it's finish gives you a dewy glow without being really dewy...It's hard to explain but, here is what happened, upon blending, I was kinda waiting for it to be absorbed or to dry before I set it with powder, and because it still looks kinda dewy, I thought it was still wet...I got impatient and blotted my face with one ply of tissue paper (yes, that's right!), and to my suprise, nothing transferred! I touched my face to validate and yes, despite of the dewy appearance, my foundation was already absorbed and dry. I didn't even set my whole face with powder, just the t-zone areas where I tend to get really oily.
It felt so light on my skin, reminds me of a tinted moisturizer sans the greasy feeling. I got home around 3am, and my make up was still intact, no oiling up or whatsoever. Picture below was taken after 6 hours of application.
Overall, I am impressed. I never even thought that it would last me 4 hours but as I have said, it is still too early to tell. I will update this post once I get to test it under normal weather with my normal activities. Till then! :)
