Packaging:This range comes in a transparent plastic squeeze tube, which makes it very convenient to use and travel friendly.
Texture & Shades:I find it a bit runny as compared to other foundations that I have tried and it is somewhat on the lines of a liquid foundation but in a squeeze tube. But I love the fact that due to its texture this foundation doesn’t take much time to blend, I have tried blending it with a foundation brush aswell as with my finger tips and both ways worked perfectly.

My Experience:I received these in November I think and I didn’t really get any time to actually test these on myself and moreover I will be honest here that I am more of a BB cream person and I only use foundations for special occasions or events as I find foundations a bit heavier on my skin. I used Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Foundation the first ever time in the last week of Jan 2014 and I was already using Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream on a daily basis during that time so after the first usage it took a back seat again, It is only since a few weeks now that I have started using this foundation on a more regular basis because I really like its texture and consistency; It doesn’t weigh on my skin or feels heavy at all.. The Olive beige shade goes perfectly well with my complexion without looking cakey or ashy. Even the Natural beige goes pretty well with my skin tone.
The best thing about this foundation is that it blends in the skin within a few minutes even with finger tips and results in a beautiful natural dewy finish, though I have an oily skin but it doesn’t make my skin oilier once I set it with the translucent powder. Coverage wise it’s sheer but easily buildable, so if at times I skip using a concealer my acne marks remain slightly visible but overall it improves the skin texture and even tones too and results in healthy looking even skin.

Dislikes:1. The nozzle gets messy every time I squeeze out the foundation. 2. Fades away in 4 to 5 hours without a primer.
Overall, Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Foundation has changed my perception about foundations; It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin in other words once it settles I don’t even feel like I am wearing a foundation :)) The Light-diffusing Illuma Flair™ Complex actually works in blurring the imperfections to quite an extent, evens out the skin tone, keeps the skin hydrated and gives out a natural glow!!
