Oriflame Beauty Matte Control Foundation (Rs 499 for 30ml)
I have always trusted Oriflame as one of good skin care brands. Their tea tree oil has been my saviour whenever I get acne attack. I have tried there cosmetics as well and they are great too. Oriflame Beauty Matte Control Foundation is great for those having oily skin and also for wearing during summers ahead.
About the foundation: ‘Lightweight, silky-smooth foundation that provides you with an impeccable matte finish that lasts. Contains micro silica shells, which continuously absorb excess oil providing you with a shine-free base. Water-based formula, perfect for combination/oily skin. ‘
Shade- Out of the 3 shades; I have Natural Ivory with me which is the second shade out of the 3.The shade is great for nc35-37 skin tone. It has strong yellow undertones that suit me very well. These days, my skin is slightly on red side and this foundation works excellently in cutting the redness. Refer before& after pic.
Packaging- The packaging is simple and nothing fancy with a cream-beige coloured outer cover with a nozzle to dispense out the foundation. It is sturdy, fuss-free and travel friendly. The shade name and code number are written on a sticker in front.
Texture & Formula- Oriflame Beauty Matte Control Foundation has a liquidy consistency that isn’t too thick or runny. It is easy to apply and blend. The foundation has very mild undetectable fragrance. The formula is light weight and very comfortable on skin. It did not clog my pores neither breaks me out. It provides matte finish. I have combination-oily skin and this foundation provides the perfect matte finish that I want without making my skin appear dry or stiff.
Coverage/Pigmentation- The foundation provides light coverage which can be built up to medium coverage with another layer. However, major skin problem areas need proper concealing.
Staying Power- Coming to the staying power, the foundation doesn’t fade or streak for about 6-7 hours but I can see my T-zone getting oily after say 3 hours and I need a layer of compact.
Overall Thoughts
I find Oriflame Beauty Matte Control Foundation a nice budget foundation that is great for everyday/office wear. It provides decent matte finish and light coverage which is fine for normal wear. The formula is great. It doesn’t make my skin appear over-dry and stays for decent amount of time. The main issue is Oriflame products availability.
Ratings- 3.9/5
