I've never tried YSL Teint Resist. This Givenchy is launching at my counter soon, and I'm curious to try. Hopefully I can get a sample in my shade, probably Shell Too. Do you set with powder?

Yes I use powder (Nars Light Reflecting Loose) because of my oily skin. I think normal to dry skin types can probably get away with not setting this foundation but for me I have to set everything. The finish is pretty natural, maybe a little bit on the dewy side, but in a way that doesn't look like obvious make up if that makes sense lol I get about 6 hours before oil comes through too which for me is fantastic, and with this foundation it only seems to be on my nose (always my most oily zone) as opposed to my cheeks and chin too so I'm really loving it!

Miss QQ, this is a photo after about 5 hours of wear (no touch ups) so my nose is a little shiny, but I think this shows the finish really well, it's very natural and brightening

Your skin looks flawless! You are beautiful! What are you wearing on your lips and cheeks? I definitely want to check out this foundation.

Not sure if we have seen this before - the fall collection. Curious about the palette, and I like the pink lipstick!

Thanks! My lips is Mac Sushi Kiss applied lightly with a lip balm over it and my cheeks is NYX Pinched blush (one of my favs!)

The lash sparkles look very fun, but my lashes aren't long and I wonder if the effect can be seen on my lashes. I can't wait to see Violine Precieux Le Rouge, it sounds like something plummy.

Anyway, I forgot to check out the Teint Couture foundation. Note me myself to check it out soon.

So pretty! I'm likewise curious about the red/ plum/ burgundy lipstick. I still haven't tried Le Rouge, not because I'm not interested in the formula, but frankly because I don't find the shades themselves that exciting or unique. I'm really looking for an excuse here!

 

[LiliV]

I loveeeeeee the lipstick packaging!

Me too! I swatched a bunch at sephora last weekend, and I didn't see any must haves. I'm interested in these two, though I'll still have to see swatches first.

There's a few more pics on Allura: http://www.allurabeauty.com/2013/givenchy-ondulations-precieuses-collection-holiday-2013/

I think I'm going to get everything but the nail polishes.

I'm a recent convert to the Le Rouges after I got Brun Vintage. I've worn it every day since I got it. Why didn't I get this sooner?!

 

[LiliV]

I haven't tried the new lipsticks yet but there's a few shades on my wish list! I like the Rouge Interdit line too but I haven't bought any of those in a while

LiliV - Is the finish and texture similar to Armani's Maestro? Which shade did you buy?

We can see the shades here.

Not similar to Maestro. The Armani version is even 'thinner' (nearly like water) and sets very fast and dries matte. Teint Couture is thin, but gel-like. It takes a little longer to set, and the finish is 'radiant' demi-matte. I can see the Armani version being better for oily skin types... and Givenchy better for combination or drier skin types.

Although there is SPF in Teint Couture, I've had no issues with flashback. My only complaint is the color range. Limited.

 

[Miss QQ]

I saw Teint Couture at Sephora but the lighting was terrible. I could not tell which shade would match me, but the SA said 03 for both the liquid and powder for me. The liquid felt light but yeh, it wasn't as thin as Maestro. I like the consistency and it didn't have any particular scent too. The packaging of the powder is stunning! I wanted to take it home just because of the packaging. It is not refillable though. The powder itself felt very smooth and fine. I think I'll get both the liquid and the powder, but first I must get a colour matching. There is another counter which the lighting could be better, I certainly hope so.

It's good to know that this foundation is much better than it seemed when I played with it a few weeks ago. I played with it again today and I plan on giving it a try next week hopefully. I really want a new foundation now since the Nars one disappointed me.

You may really like this one Shontay. Double check the ingredients though. Didn't you have an issue with the YSL version? This one has the same kind of finish... sort of a radiant demi matte. I wore it last night and it set very nicely:


It even held up in 102 degree weather (I used a primer to help it stay put). It definitely wears very natural. No foundation 'mask' with this one at all.

From the holiday collection I'm only interested in the gold nail polish, the rest looks pretty but it's not for me.
I'm kinda interested in the Couture foundation too, but looks like we're only getting very few of the shades here, and not the pinkish one which probably would be the one I need.

 

[Monsy]

Givenchy is always so limited with the foundation shades. Such a shame

 

[Ingenue]

I agree Monsy. I made a little noise about it on my blog. I don't understand the end goal of this company. 8 shades is hardly enough to cover everyone. What's sad is, it's a really lovely foundation formulation. If you can find a match, I definitely recommend it.

 

[Naynadine]

I just checked online, six of the liquid foundation shades are available here and only four of the compact one.

It looks great on you. I am paranoid about the ingredients. I read the ingredients online and when I went to see it in person. It didn't mention bismuth oxychloride, but I'm still a little nervous. I'm starting to think it's not worth it. I'm thinking if I try this and break out I'll end up feeling like I should've just went to D&G like I planned. Yeah, I think I just talked myself out of this. I just wish D&G had a pump.
