Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin Foundation, Porcelain Review and Swatches

By Parinaaz Mehta @pdm28

Hello lovelies!!!!!!!! How many of you use foundation to become fair???? Can makeup make you look fair and change your skin colour. Not at all, love your skin and it's colour, makeup only enhances your features and foundation does not make you fair. Foundations are used to create a base for makeup, it only even's out your skin tone and makes it look fresh and flawless. Hence to look flawless, choose a foundation that is very near your skin tone, if a foundation blends well, it will look like you are wearing your own skin colour, then its the right shade. If a foundations changes your skin colour and makes you fairer or gives you a grey finish, it's not the right shade for you. I am saying all this as i have a first hand experience of choosing the wrong foundation shade for oneself. Today i am going to review the Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin Foundation in shade Porcelain, which is the lightest of all shades, just like the Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin concealer i picked the wrong shade for the foundation too. Well!!! so in today's post i am going to review this foundation.

My take On the Product

The foundation comes in a glass bottle, with a pump dispenser and a plastic cap to cover the dispenser. The bottle is a heavy to carry although i have never used it while travelling so i don't know whether it spills or breaks. The foundation shade i picked is Porcelain, and it has turned out to be wrong shade for me as it leaves a grey finish on my skin. So i have decided to combine this shade with a bb cream and match it with skin tone. The foundation is thick liquid in consistency, its not runny nor creamy. The foundation gives a sheer and medium coverage. It does not cover pimples, blemishes or acne marks, it gives gives an even squinting and a healthy dewy glow. The foundation blends really well into skin and has sun protection SPF 20.

The foundation is meant for beauties who do not have oily skin, medium to dry skin and too if you have acne and pimples, it will not give you enough coverage. So if your are some you want a heavy coverage, you can give it a skip. The foundation does not lead to breakouts or any kind of skin allergies. It meant more for office wear, just to get the healthy even glow. With Oriflame you can never go wrong when it comes to skincare, so leave all your worries about skin problem.

Pros

  1. Gives a healthy glow

  2. evens out skin tone

  3. Does not lead to breakout or allergies

Cons

    Fails to hide blemishes and pigmentation

Rating: 3.5/5

Overall Thoughts

It would worth a buy if you have dry skin and want a sheer to medium coverage foundation that does not lead to skin problem, the you must give this foundation a try.
