Oil-free, fragrance-free, Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin

Expert Tip : Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with your fingertips.
MRP: Rs. 575/- for 30ml
Shades Available:
01 Porcelain Ivory Light
04 Nude Light
05 Medium Creamy Natural Light
3.5 Nude Beige Light
02 Pure Beige Medium
04 Honey Beige Medium
So these are not 01 to 05 according to shades but the internal numbering amongst shades..so do not get confused with the numbers..Light has 01 to 05 and so does Medium..but these 6 shades are only available in India..
I have 04 Nude Light which is a little light for me..but not something with a stark difference..I guess the 05 Medium Creamy Natural Light would be a better fit..yet to check that out..
If I have to describe it in one word..love
It does everything what it claims..smooth even finish, high coverage, super easy to use. I just use my fingers most of the time..a small pump and I am good to go..more than enough coverage for me on everyday basis..if I have an event to attend, slight more and I get full coverage..it does cover up and minimize appearance of pores too.
It stays for 5-6 hours..but the issue is oily skin might find it a little greasy after some time..since it is rich in texture..
Pros:
1. Smooth even finish.
2. Medium to high coverage.
3. Pump is easy to use.
4. Blends nicely with fingers.
5. Coverage is buildable..so can be used according to your requirement.
6. Economical.
7. Would suit normal to dry skin and combination with some powder.
Cons:
1. Has silicones..so if you are allergic to silicones, try it at the counter first..or get sample if you can.
2. Only 2 shades for darker skin tones.
3. Pump dispensor, so not suitable for travelling.
4. Oily skin might find it a little greasy.
Overall if you are normal to dry skin and not allergic to silicones, you should definitely try this..others do check it out at the counters first..I love it..as much as Deborah Milano 24 Ore Perfect Foundation

My search for the perfect primer began as soon as i started using my first foundation.
It has been an unending quest and still continues. Oriflame perfecting face primer was one of the first ones i chose because it was the most easily available and affordable for a college student.
PACKAGE- It comes in a simple transparent tube.I was looking for a gel form but this one is more of a runny cream kind.
TEXTURE- it has a smooth texture.Makes the application easy. And also makes foundation easy to apply. But it does not cover the pores well like a good primer is supposed to do. That’s not much to complaint about , Afterall at 398/- what more can we expect.
Unblended- Blended
LASTING POWER- It lasts the whole day and also makes your face make up last long. But then it starts getting greasy on my face so i’ll skip buying this the next time.
It will be good for those with dry skin. However for those with oily skin ,i’ll say it’s better to skip.
PRICE- Rs 398/- Can be ordered from any Oriflame representative. And my quest still continues…when will i find the perfect primer!!
Editor’s Note: Hey Awungshi , Did you use this as an eyeshadow base ? I heard it works amazing that way..
Have you tried the Oriflame Face Perfecting Primer ??
How to Treat Dark Circles and Bags Under Your Eyes
Guest Post
No one likes getting dark circles under the eyes, but most of us have them at some point in time. Stress, sleep deprivation, poor dieting, and heredity can all lead to a less-than-perfect reflection in the mirror, and there’s only so much you can cover with makeup. Before matters get any worse, you should try some of the treatment options listed below. Here are a few ways to treat dark circles under the eyes.
Stop the Causes
In order to get rid of dark circles and bags, you need to know what is causing them in the first place. If you’re running on Redbull and power naps, you probably need more sleep. If your stack of unpaid bills is larger than your stack of paid bills, you probably need less stress. Think about what might be causing the issues under your eyes, and then do whatever you can to avoid it. If you can’t do that, you might as well get used to the way you look.
Moisturize the Skin
A boost of moisture can revitalize your skin and make it look soft and supple. Apply moisturizing makeup under your eyes throughout the day, and then use sesame or avocado oil before you go to bed at night. Look for natural ingredients in whatever products you use, especially if they include vitamin K and vitamin E. Both of those ingredients will do wonders for your skin.
Massage the Eyes
It sounds silly to give your eyes a massage, but that really can help get rid of the dark circles and bags. Test this out the next time you feel a bruise coming on. Rub the area of the skin where the bruise might form, and you may not even see a spot come to the surface. That’s because you’re encouraging circulation in the area, which will keep all of your cells right where they need to be. The same thing happens with you dark circles. Use almond oil to really get your skin active again, and your circles will just fade away.
Protect the Face
Wear sun block throughout the day, even if you’re just going outside for a few moments. UV rays can damage your skin, and that damage can lead to bags and circles. Look for moisturizing foundation with built-in SPF, or wear mineral makeup designed for sun protection. Then throw on some sunglasses, and you should be able to keep your skin looking healthy.
Release the Toxins
Believe it or not, you could be experiencing dark circles because of built-up toxins in your body. Go in for a colon cleanse when you have time, or try a cleansing diet instead. Yoga is a great workout routine for releasing toxins because it forces your body into unexpected positions. You could get your body in shape and make your face look better at the same time. Talk about a win-win!
Rejuvenate the Surface
You could use an in-home microdermabrasion treatment to get rid of your outer layer of skin. This will encourage new skin cells to grow, which will help you look younger. You may be red for a day or two, but then you will have a whole new face to look at in the mirror. Hopefully that face is dark circle free.
Being frustrated with your dark circles and bags under the eyes won’t make them go away. You have to put forth a positive effort to keep your skin looking its best. Use the tips above to correct your skin problems, and you’re sure to feel refreshed in no time.
