Oriflame Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow Review

Oriflame Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow (Rs 399 for 30ml, often available at great discounts)

One thing I love from Oriflame, are their foundations. At least from the 3 I tried, I liked 2; so much so that I repurchased those couple of times. Yes, You I heard me right! It has to be that good, right? Read on to know how impressive Oriflame Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow is.

Package – This foundation comes in a regular tube packaging with screw cap. It’s black in colour with orange cap: that explains the peach part! On the body the brand name and product name is written in orange. The tube is not very sturdy and I do not think it is safe for travelling. Everytime I open the tube, I see a lot of the product has spilled inside the cap, so the packaging is a nay for me!

Shade – As this product is termed a tinted moisturizer; there are just two shades, namely light and dark. I got the shade light as it complemented my yellow undertones well. In personal it looks orange in appearance but on my face it blends into a natural colour.

Texture & Formula – The moisturizer is partly runny and has to be taken out carefully in order to avoid excess fallout. On hand it looks pretty concentrated with pigments despite its liquid texture. On spreading out, it starts feeling watery but with a bit of creamy touch to it, which is very soothing on the skin. It takes a while of blending in, before it is entirely absorbed into the skin. It applies best with bare hands. It has a light fruity scent which is pleasant and stays for quite a long time. I am extremely sensitive to fragrances in my cosmetics but believe this smell has not freaked me out!

Coverage & Finish– I am impressed in this part! The coverage of Oriflame Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow is so good that it can be easily called a foundation and precisely the reason why I have been calling it a foundation from the beginning! The finish is dewy but not sweaty, just enough to add a healthy glow to your face. If you look closely you will see that it is packed with very fine shimmers that provide the glow actually, but the shimmer is neither gritty nor does it show up on the face. It just blends right in and you may as well forget about it then and there!

The coverage is so natural that after setting the foundation with a bit of compact powder/fixing powder, you can hardly tell whether anything but a good compact powder is applied on the face.

Staying Power – This is where it is not so impressive and not that I expect it to be. It stays on me for about 1.5 hours in the day and about 2-2.5 hours in the evening in the summers. So you can say that it is probably good for a little chit chat at your pal’s place or a dinner out, but not for a long day out. Additionally, oily skinned people like me may face a problem of meltdown on hot and humid days, but nothing that you cannot fix with light tapping with a hanky or a pressed powder.

Overall Thoughts

I love Oriflame Very Me Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow because of the fact that it gives me a no-makeup look which is what I always go for. Even though I love it in all seasons, it works for me especially in the winters because it stays longer than usual. A layer of this, kohl lined eyes and shiny nude lips is my all time favourite look and trust me on this, no matte finish makeup has ever been so successful in creating an this natural look!

Ratings-4/5, points deducted for the staying power part and nothing else!
