Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer Review

By Jhilmil D Saha @jhilmildsaha
To apply foundation properly can often be a challenge, specially if you are staying in  hot and humid climatic conditions. I too face these problems of excessive sweating where my makeup often wears off. However, for people like us, there is a solution in the form of primers. And today I will be talking about Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer.

Packaging: Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer comes in a navy blue paper outer packaging. The tube is white with a blue twist open cap.

Product: The primer is white in color with a thin texture and a nice smell

My Experience: I have used 2-3 primers before and most of them are in gel texture. However Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is white in color. The primer has a lotion and light texture and when applied it can give a whitish cast on the skin. Specially if you have dry skin I would suggest either using a moisturizer prior to it, or mix some hydrating agent with it. It takes some time for the primer to get absorbed into the skin. But when it does it provides a nice veil on the skin.

The Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is good to be used under foundation that has luminous finish for making it stay for a long time and for a more flawless coverage. It provides a moderately smooth canvas for your foundation. I could see that generally foundations that last for a good 4-5 hours, lasting even longer for about a good 6-8 hours.  The primer does a good job in making the makeup last longer and provide a smoother canvas. However, it does not do the same job of making the skin velvety flawless as the gel primers, and can be difficult to work on Dry skin.

Pros:1.Makes the makeup last much longer2.Gives a smooth finish to skin3.Good packaging4.Good for oily combination skin5.Gives a good base for makeup
Cons:1.Can take time to work on dry skin2.Can be a bit whitish on skin
Rating:4/5

Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is a decently working primer that provides a flawless base for your makeup. The makeup lasts longer without melting or wear-off.
