VIVO illuminere foundation (Ivory) review and swatches

If you are looking for a foundation for everyday use, please read through. Here's what I think about the VIVO illuminere foundation in shade Ivory.

Have a look at the VIVO illuminere foundation in shade Ivory-


Here's how it looks from back- 

Packaging

Comes in a silver colored plastic tube with screw cap on top. Light-weight, handy and very useful to use on the go. 

CONTENTS

I was quite happy looking at the listed ingredients, as they do not contain any steroid releasing chemical, paraben (a chemical used largely to preserve cosmetics that might end up causing skin cancer) and is fragrance free. Also on the front they claimed it to be enriched with sunscreen and vitamin E!! Look at the listed ingredients-


 Consistency 

Liquid and quite runny.


Swatch

Color in natural light                                                                      Blended in natural light
I found ivory to be a little lighter for me, beige on the other hand is perfect for my skin tone! 

You will like it, if you-

1. Are looking for an everyday use foundation. 
2. Looking for matte finish. 
3. Like light coverage, build-able to medium. 
4. Have normal/oily/mixed skin type (It claims that it suits all skin types, but I did not get to try it on anyone with dry skin)
5. Would like a liquid foundation
6. Like fragrance free cosmetics
7. Have fair skin tone

You might not like it, if you-

1. Are looking for dewy finish.
2. Want heavy coverage.
3. Have medium or darker skin tone

Where to find-

In Bangladesh, you can get them from Asteria. If you are residing in any other country, please look for it in Ebay or Amazon.
