Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Blush Review, Swatches, Price & Buy Online India: Pink Glow, Luminous Peach & Shimmer Rose
I might love doing up my eyes & playing with bold lip colors but blushes hold a very special place in my heart. Be it for adding a wash of colour to perk up a dull complexion or to add definition to your cheeks, a blush if applied correctly can do wonders to your face. Nothing excites me as much a new blush hence when Oriflame India launched The ONE Illuskin Blushes in January, I was really excited to give them a try. The best part is that these are blush cum highlighters so you get 2 products in 1! Read on for the review & swatches of Pink Glow, Luminous Peach & Shimmer Rose.

Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Blushes Review, Swatches, Price & Buy India
The Oriflame ONE Blushes comes in a simple purple casing with a mirror. It contains 2 strips with one being a blush and the other a highlighter. The blush does not come with a brush for touch up but since most of them are pretty useless, I do not mind it. The packaging is compact & travel friendly though I think it could’ve be a bit more attractive.

Texture
Oriflame The ONE Blushes are finely milled and very silky in texture. They have a satin finish and rarely settle down into pores or over emphasize it. I do feel the highlighters aren’t as soft as the blushes and feel a wee bit gritty.
Oriflame Pink Glow Blush Review, Swatches & Price India
Oriflame The ONE Pink Glow Blush has a matte pink-coral blush along with a light beige toned highlighter. When used together it gives a natural pink flush to the cheeks which will look extremely natural on pale to fair skintone. Pigmentation wise, it gives a sheer to medium color pay off depending on the amount used.

The shimmer strip in Pink Glow is fine and does not look OTT. Its the perfect day blush even if you use the highlighter and looks quite flattering. This gives me a wear time of about 4 hours which is pretty decent. I have been wearing this alot to events and have received numerous compliments for it. A must have if you love a subtle natural glow for your cheeks!
Oriflame Luminous Peach Blush Review, Swatches & Price India
Now I checked the name of the shade twice while writing the review. This one should’ve been named Shimmer Rose & not Luminous Peach. It has a beautiful rosey coral blush with a matte finish along with a beige-silver highlighter. The shimmer of the highlighter is finely packed and adds a luminous glow to the cheeks.

This will flatter all complexions be it light, wheatish or dusky. The universally flattering blush is well pigmented and shows up easily, though dusky beauties might need to build up the pigmentation for it to show up well on them. You can totally use this during the day if you skip the highlighter otherwise Luminous Peach is perfect for parties and will compliment all outfits. The staying power of Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Blush in Luminous Peach is a good 4-5 hours without a primer underneath.
Oriflame Shimmer Rose Blush Review, Swatches & Price India
Like I already mentioned, this should be called Luminous Peach instead of Shimmer Rose as this one is a pretty neutral peach blush with a champagne toned highlighter. Its the most flattering color in the Oriflame One Illuskin Blushes Range for our warm complexion. The highlighter is full of shimmer and might be a bit of a turn off for those who hate too much shimmer in their blushes.
I love the blush shade on it own and usually skip the highlighter. It’ll be perfect for a party or a night out when both are used together. As for the wear time, this lasts for an average of 5 hours and does not get patchy. I can see this being quite a hit amongst the dusky beauties!
Pros of Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Blush

2) Beautiful satin finish
3) The blushes do not settle into pores or emphasize them
4) Good staying power
5) A 2 in 1 product hence you don’t need to buy an additional highlighter

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Oriflame The ONE Illuskin Blushes are a 2 in 1 product ie they are matte blushes that come with complimenting highlighters. These powder blushes are finely milled, beautifully pigmented and have a good wear time. I love the shades in the range which will flatter a plethora of skintones and I only wish that the price could be a bit more affordable though you can always get Oriflame products under good offers.
