Kiss harsh, unforgiving lighting goodbye forever! Light-diffusing Illuma Flair™ Complex blurs imperfections, evening out skin tone and giving a natural, yet flawless result wherever you are. Its weightless formula feels wonderful on the skin, and leaves it feeling moisturised, looking luminous and free from shine. SPF 15. 30 ml.
I got it for INR 359 as its on offer this month.
Shades: - There are five shades available namely: – porcelain, fair nude, olive beige, natural beige, tanned beige. It was not difficult to choose the correct one for my skin tone as they have warm tones available. I chose natural beige for myself. It’s the exact match for my skin tone.
Packaging: - I loved the packaging. It looks very sleek and expensive. It comes in a tube with screw top cap. The transparent body shows the color of the product.
Content: - The content is a natural color foundation. The gradation of shades makes the shade choice pretty easy. The foundation has a liquid consistency but not runny.
This is a new launch this month. As soon as I saw the product on the catalogue I decided to buy it as it was on introductory offer. It comes with SPF 15. As per the brand this unique ILLUMA FLAIR complex is designed to diffuse light evenly across the skin, evening out skin tones and textures, and leaving a flawless, natural looking finish. It reflects and controls the light for a naturally looking complexion. It gives a matte finish which I find perfect for regular wear. This product gives a very good coverage hiding all the dark spots and really evens out the skin to a great extent. It stays for a really long time& can be easily removed with or without a makeup remover. Usually after applying foundation my skin tends to sweat a lot but with this foundation on I didn’t face the sweating issue & stays intact for whole day.
The texture is very smooth and silky and it glides very easily. Only a little amount of product covers my face and neck. The price is very expensive compared to the quantity given, so a good deal when purchased during special offer. It has a very mild fragrance. It completely blends into my skin giving a flawless look. My skin looks fresh and natural.
- Gives good coverage
- Gives a matte finish.
- Contains SPF 15.
- Very good staying power.
- Secure and sturdy packing.
- Handy and can be carried easily.
- Very expensive.
- Very less quantity given.
- I wish the SPF content was more.
I will recommend this product to everyone. Despite of matte finish, it doesn’t dry out skin so no worries for dry skin females. Easily workable formula which blends seamlessly giving a flawless look. Would be a good deal if bought during special offers by Oriflame.
I really wanted to get this but then was confused regrading shades and didnt buy it!Will buy if i find them on offer.
tapaswini there are samples available. you can buy the samples and try it out before buying the entire product if you are not sure. hope this helps.
Hey Shinjini, thanks for the great review. I have been using Lakme products always, but I will definitely try this out. My skin is very oily, so when I put foundation it tends to ‘melt’. I apply it with Parachute lotion. The mint in it help hold the foundation. Do you have any other option.
Ramya p you can opt for the stick foundation rather than liquid ones. the stick by oriflame i have reviewed. http://sparklesunlimited.net/2012/03/21/oriflame-dual-core-foundation-review-swatches/
