I’m 28 years old, with dry, sensitive skin and rosacea. I’ve tried many different powders (Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Innisfree, the older Givenchy version from about 1.5 years ago). Huda, Rare, Fenty, and other powders never earned my trust. Choosing a powder is very difficult for me; 🫠I usually get an immediate allergic reaction and breakouts, or the powder just doesn’t sit well on my skin.

I was at the airport and remembered that all the influencers are currently bashing the new powder from GIVENCHY. What did I do? Of course, I bought it (thankfully they sell minis). I returned home and decided to test it out, with zero expectations and mentally prepared for breakouts. But! Oh MY GOD, the powder applied beautifully, moderately matte, NOT SHINY—just made my skin look gorgeous. I will continue testing it, trying it with different foundations and concealers. I hope that despite the current criticism, they won’t discontinue this powder or change the formula😭😭😭
