Primers are as important as any other makeup product. I make sure the first step after moisturizing my skin is applying a primer before applying foundation or concealer. Oriflame has been making wonderful skincare and makeup products so many years. I go bonkers every time I see their catalogue. During one such catalogue browsing, I came across this primer and was impressed with the claims. I immediately placed an order and have used Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer for many months and am here with a review.
About the product:
Create the perfect canvas for makeup with this tone-enhancing face primer. Evens out skin tone, extends the wear of your foundation and minimises the appearance of pores*. With HaloLight Technology™ for a subtle healthy glow.
Packaging – It comes in a white and blue tube with a round cap. It is travel friendly and the nozzle isn’t too big and dispenses how much you need.
Fragrance – It has a certain chemical fragrance in it which does not last long so one need not be bothered about it much.
Texture & Formula – The primer has a very creamy texture that is soft to apply and blends well into the skin. The best part is it is very moisturizing and makes the skin smooth and soft. It also adds a beautiful glow and makes it looking healthy. I have even worn it under a compact and received compliments. The quantity required for each use is really less and it covers up the whole face so one tube will definitely last more than 8 months.
Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is a white colored cream that feels light weight on the skin after blending. I have used the older version of the Oriflame primer which was very sticky but they have definitely improved the formula now.
The disadvantage is that it cannot be suitable for oily skin. If you have dry skin and are not looking for the mattifying primers that are easily available, then do opt for this.
Performance – As I mentioned, it is a star product as it moisturizes the skin, makes it glow and creates a smooth base for the foundation. In addition to that, my foundation stays put for the whole day. Only the t-zone gets oily after few hours. This primer has become one of my favorites as I have entered my 30s and need moisturizing products more than mattifiers.
Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is priced at Rs. 599 for 30ml.
Overall Thoughts:
Oriflame The One Illuskin Face Primer is great for normal to dry skin as it helps soften the skin and enhances the staying power of the base makeup. I have sensitive skin and it did not break me out. It does not look whitish in photo as well.
Rating: 4.5/5
