My experience with
these products:
I got samples of VC3, VC4 and Yellow to try on and I was
really quite excited to see the camouflaging effects they'd have on my skin.
I have noticeable under eye dark circles and certain black spots on my cheeks
which are impossible to hide completely no matter what foundation I try. The
only way I've found till date to cover these problem areas is to layer my
foundation or concealer, but that has often ended up making my face or under
eye areas look cakey or ghostly. Moreover, the feeling of so many products on
my skin, definitely makes me quite uncomfortable and heavy.
When I looked at the shades, I was quite amazed to see the
undertones they cater to. The shade VC3 is exactly the shade of my skin and I
use it directly for my under eye areas. The consistency of all these products
is quite creamy and they blend well into the skin. The most astonishing part
about these covercreams is that they are ultra light in weight, even
though are super pigmented.
I've used VC4 and Yellow shades to make some of my
"wrong foundation" shades work for me, and I needed very little amount
of both these shades for my entire bottle. Of course I tried and tested a small
amount of sample to know the exact proportions needed.
Below is a quick list
of likes and dislikes that I've felt about these covercreams:
Likes:
1) Comes in nice handy tube that makes the usage quite easy.
2) A very little amount is needed for getting your perfect
shade of foundation.
3) You can directly mix the colors to your need and use them
to cover the marks and pigmented areas of your skin.
4) I've never received any kind of allergic reactions or
breakouts from these.
5) These are quite creamy in texture and blend into the skin
quite easily.
6) These products are ultra light in weight and give a
superb coverage.
Dislikes:
1) Expensive though with the amount you get in a tube, and
how less is needed each time, I feel that these are worth an investment and a
single tube will run a long way.
2) Availability might be a concern, but you can order Varama
products from their official website HERE.
3) Contains Parabens.
3) Contains Parabens.
Overall verdict:
You have to agree to the fact of life that none of us is Katrina
Kaif, and we all suffer from some or other skin problems, marks and uneven
pigmentation etc. at some or the other time of life. I believe that though our
therapies, healthy diet, cream and lotions can do their task to some extent in
healing our skin problems, we still aim to look your best no matter what at a
given instance. I feel that these cover creams should be a must have in
ever girl's vanity box so that nothing can stop her from looking flawless at
any given time.
