Review: Oriflame Beauty Perfecting Face Primer

Product: Oriflame Beauty Perfecting Face PrimerQuantity: 30g for Rs 429

About the Product:Morning-fresh make-up-all day long! Light diffusing properties and emollients give your skin silky softness and an even complexion, whilst mattifying properties mean easier, more comfortable make-up application. The result is the perfect base for your make-up and a wonderfully radiant finish. Ingredients: Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isonony Isononanoate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Talc, Carylyl Methicone, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Polyethylene, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, BIS-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Methyparaben, Propylparaben, Silica, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylene Brassylate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Dimethicone, Alumina, Triethoxycaprylysilane.How to Use:Follow your regular CTM beauty regime; apply the primer before foundation. Texture & Packaging: The primer comes in a see through white plastic squeeze tube with a screw cap…so packaging wise it’s pretty basic. Texture wise it’s creamy n smooth (a bit runny) and is white in color. 
My Experience: First thing first…. Oriflame Beauty Perfecting Face Primer is not a silicon based primer so do not expect a porcelain sort of super smooth finish nor compare it with other silicon based primers. So what exactly it does?? Well it’s a hydrating base for your makeup as it’s a cream based formula and it helps the skin to stay hydrated along with filling in the tiny pores and fine lines. Once it sets in the skin, foundation application gets so easy as it smoothens the skin to a great extend. It doesn’t make my moderately oily skin oilier for atleast 4 to 5 hours though I need to bloat the oil around the T-zone after that…but it sure does add a nice dewy finish and helps the makeup stay longer and fresh. 

Likes:1. Keeps the skin well moisturized.2. Gives a dewy finish to the makeup.3. Non greasy and doesn’t make oily skin more oily or dull.4. A pea size quantity is what you need to cover the entire face and neck.5. Keeps the makeup fresh for a long time.6. Best suited for normal to dry skin.7. Good Value for money. 8. Travel friendly.
Dislikes:The nozzle gets a bit messy and I would have loved to see it work on my slightly visible open pores around the nose.. But other than these there is nothing that I do not like about this primer.
Overall Oriflame Beauty Perfecting Face Primer is a pretty good product which can be used on a daily basis. I personally like it as during the winters my oily skin gets a bit dry and the cream base of this primer keeps my skin moisturized along with keeping the everyday makeup fresh for atleast 5 hours before I need to bloat the oil around the T-zone and in total keeps the foundation and blush intact/fresh for a good 6 to 7 hours.
