GIORDANI GOLD MAKEUP BASE Review

By now, We have all seen how essential Makeup bases/ primers are for achieving that pro type makeup finish / look. Getting a perfect makeup means following a few simple, yet extremely important steps. It is no longer a secret that a flawless, strong makeup base can do wonders and represents an essential stage in the makeup process. If properly chosen and applied, the makeup base hides flaws and skin imperfections and therefore enhancing your most beautiful features.

This makeup base was a part of my oriflame shopping this month. Since, Dear Farha wanted to know how this works, I used it on three occasions and I think I can write a fair review for it now…

My Experience with Oriflame Giordani Gold Makeup Base

The name, “ RADIANT PEARL” fits to the T , to this product .To cut the long story short, I really approve and recommend this product already. I have used it on 3 occasions now, and the results where clearly visible. This makeup base adds good luminosity & glow to the skin without any greasiness.. Instantly makes the facial skin so soft/ smooth, I could apply/ blend my foundation with real ease , in a jiffy , thanks to this. The overall finish after applying the foundation was flawless as it covered my imperfections/blotchiness well. The need to moisturize the skin before using this makeup base is minimal.

What I like about Oriflame Giordani Gold Makeup Base

  • Adds a wonderful dewy glow to the face and gives a flawless finish.
  • The foundation spreads quickly and easily on top of this
  • Keeps the foundation/ make up fresh for long
  • The skin feels soft and supple
  • A little goes a long way like as you need just 2-3 drops of it to cover the whole face.
  • Comes with a pump dispenser to take out the required quantity easily
  • Controls and absorbs oil and greasiness.

What I didn’t like about Oriflame Giordani Gold Makeup Base

  • Does not work much on the pore minimizing part
  • Contains parabens
  • Available via oriflame agents only.
  • Not a budget cosmetic product, find it a little expensive.

Shyna what I do is , I apply primer, then apply cream blush and set everything with powder. makeup base gives a smoother look to your faces and makes your pores look smaller. It’s like a no makeup look and works great for day. Both primer and powder hold the blush in place for long. :)

Shyna March 2, 2011 at 5:48 pm

Ohhh thnx rati..as such am not a foundation person…might try this then if it works when used the way as you said!

now, shyna, if u really have dat flawless complexion n u dnt need a foundation you can use it alone to give a good base to ur blush , eye make up… but i dnt think it can replace ur foundation if u need good coverage… !!

I do use this one….me finish my Clinique pore minimizer…and now the SA told me I don’t need it anymore…my pores are minimized considerably becoz of their CTM routine :yahoo: :happydance: :happydance:

I agree with you Noopur. Its good make-up base….I would prefer this for everyday. Nice glowy finish it gives. And I agree that it does no help to minimize pores. So for that I had suggested Farha Clinique Pore minimizer. :) )

Great review Noopur-e-ala :waytogo: :tongue:

hey laks…
a primer/ make up base prepares ur face for d next step i.e foundation really well… not only it minimises ur pore size, it covers ur imperfections well, it makes ur face smooth, absorbs greasiness/ oil on d face , n makes foundation n other make up long lasting too…!!!
