Zoeva Strobe Gel Corona Review

Hello Everyone,

Today’s review is about Zoeva Strobe Gel Corona. I love Zoeva products. They are of good quality, well packaged and also quite affordable. The strobe gel is something totally new for me and they are my first purchase. It is available in 3 shades and I got all 3 of them hoping to use it on different occasions. Here is the review of the variant “Corona”.

Zoeva Strobe Gel Corona Review

Product Description:
Glowing from within, the ZOEVA Strobe Gel collection was designed to add incandescent beams of light to the complexion with sublime, pearlescent formula in three flattering shades for all skin tones. The unique, memory shape gel texture captures and diffuses the surrounding light, imparting a luminescent shimmer and leaving the skin with a natural, translucent finish and a light diffused 3D effect. Melting into the skin, the moisturizing lightweight formula can be layered for varying levels of intensity – from a natural-looking, sheer glow to intense strobing highlights for dramatic evening looks.
Halo – Pearl strobe gel with silver shimmer for fair to light skin tones.
CORONA – Peachy strobe gel with rose gold shimmer for light to medium skin tones
AUREOLE – Bronze strobe gel with gold shimmer for medium and olive to dark skin tones

My Experience with Zoeva Strobe Gel Corona:

The strobe gel comes in a black cardboard packaging. Inside it is a small cute little transparent pot with a black screw lid top. The shade of the product is printed on the bottom of the pot. The product has a life time of 12 months.

The product has a gel consistency. One can just pick up a little product with finger or brush and then apply to high points on face and also collar bone. The best thing is that the gel gets back to shape after digging out the product. There are no dents formed. This looks cool and clean every time you open the product to use. The product when used on skin creates a slight cooling effect.

The color “Corona” is a beautiful rose gold shade which is targeted for very light skin tones. This shade is perfect for medium skin toned people. It would suit many Indian skin tones. I best part is that it has no shimmer particles visible which will make you look like disco ball. It is just the glow that the product imparts.

The product does not shift or slide over time. They stay put for around 5 hours or so. After 5 hours or so they slightly fade, but the effect is not completely gone. If you are indoors, the product lasts longer.

When applied over the skin, they kind of stick to the skin. I find them not creamy, but gel kind. So, they stick if not spread well and do concentrate on some points. They take less time to dry completely making it slightly difficult to work with. One has to be quite quick to work and also it is best to apply with brush than fingers.
I have used it on foundation with powder on top and they work not so great. You can layer it for starker effect, but I felt that it looks artificial. But, I am new to highlighter and strobing.
