Hey everyone!
Today I'm reviewing the newly launched product from Oriflame- The ONE Illuskin FoundationPrice : Rs 799 for 30 mlShades Available : Porcelain Beige, Nude Pink, Natural Beige, Olive Beige
Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Foundation comes in a sleek transparent glass bottle with purple colored pump dispenser with a transparent cap over it to prevent any dust/germs from going in. I personally like plastic bottles because glasses are prone to breakage. The pump dispenser has a on and off switch like mechanism, which controls the amount you need and avoid wastage during travel. Overall packaging seems very light-weight and you can easily carry it around in your bag, though over time the pump and cap do tend to get a little messy because of product accumulation around the nozzle and on the cap.The texture of the foundation is light and neither too runny, nor too thick. It spreads and blends quite easily within seconds of massaging it into the skin. The foundation is not too rich or emollient in texture so women with dry/combination skin would need to ensure that their skin is moisturized before they use this product. However, even when applied on mildly dry skin, it doesn’t get patchy or uneven and just blends seamlessly. I have used this with fingers and with a foundation brush and I feel fingers work best with this foundation, the warmth of the fingers aids the blending.The coverage is medium but buildable, sufficiently good to cover up under eye pigmentation as well as blemishes. The finish is not quite dewy but not matte- results in a healthy, glowing look (similar to L’Oreal Paris Nude Magic Liquid to Powder Foundation) which is why I think women with normal and combination to oily skin would like this foundation more. It holds up quite well under hot, humid conditions so that makes it excellent for the Indian weather conditions. It minimizes imperfections like pores etc. to give smoother, more flawless looking skin. It doesn’t settle into lines/pores of the skin. It gives a very soft, natural glow to the skin while still having a matte finish which is one of my favorite things about this foundation. I’ve worn this for over 10 hours and my skin was quite fresh and luminous after all that time and I could barely notice any oiliness on my T-zone. It contains SPF 20 but doesn’t look ashy in pictures.Natural Beige bests suit my skin and blends into my skin giving a very natural yet dewy finish.
