Givenchy Makeover @ Midvalley ( + first impression)

Attended a makeover by Givenchy in Midvalley on the August 20, 2011. Thanks to Jessying!

They had special deal on that day, you get free full size lipstick (Rouge Interdit Shine) worth RM100 with any purchase!
Took several pictures during the makeover and thought of sharing them with you.  There are several products used during the makeover that I think worth mentioning as well! This is my first time having Givenchy cosmetic on my face. I do purchase their fragrance but never really browse through their cosmetic line.


 My bare face before the makeover.




First step was to apply the base, Doctor White. Nothing really strikes me as special. I prefer a primer over a makeup base anytime just because of the texture. 


Followed by foundation.
Photo Perfexion Light 03


with sponge


Love the foundation! It is super light, natural and it gives me luminous glow. I am a big fan of sheer to medium coverage foundation and I know how much some of you hate it but to those who love it you should check this one out!
The foundation has a sponge applicator attached to it. Good for those who love applying foundation with sponges. If you are like me, you would have said " eeww, that's not hygienic". Not to worry! You can detached the sponge any time to wash them. If you fancy foundation brush, you can detach them forever.  
No problem.


Next, my makeup artist follow up with loose powder. Before that she did hide my dark circle with MR. Light.

 Loose powder is to set the foundation and this is another product worth mentioning! I am sure some of you might have seen similar product from different brands but this is genius! 
Prisme Libre No.02





See how it has 4 separate compartments. Each has different shades and when they mix together you get something that will even out your complexion. 




Next was the eyes. She was nice enough to do 2 looks for me. She showed me how to change day look to night look without removing my existing makeup.




This eyeshadow is another product worth mentioning! Too many good product eh? I am not biased trust me! 
Their LE Prisme Yeux eyeshadow is really special! 




The design pressed on the eyeshadow are normal, so does the pigmentation. Payoff are great but not as great as other makeup brands that cater for MUA. Since this is meant for normal end user like you and I, they compensate it with awesome size to travel with!!! The size are of standard size BUT in a pan these babies have FOUR finish! See below!


When I say this is travel friendly. I do mean it. See how big the eyeshadow sits on my palm. SMALL!




This is the day look she comes up with.



Really subtle. No mascara on yet.

Next she intensify my eye makeup with pencil liner, Magic Khol.
And add on Revolutionary Mascara. I have heard so much rave on this mascara I am sure some of you have heard about it too. Or might even have this!

It pretty much look like a spiky ball. The size of the applicator allows you to reach even the most inner lashes you have.



It does give my lashes a little lengthening effect.

This is the night eye look she did for me.

Comparison between day and night. Hahaha..shuuush! Don't laugh!


Followed by blush. Even their blush is interesting. Le Prisme Blush has four shades in a pan. The one that I tried is actually 3 in 1!! But this of course depends on your skin tone as well.



You get highlight, blusher and bronzer. Not bad eh?


For lips she uses 2 shades of Rouge Interdit Shine and top it up with Gloss Interdit.


This is the final look!
