//Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation//

Hope you've all had a good Easter my lovelies and didn't over indulge too much on chocolate and alcohol!

 

 

Today's review is on a sample I found in my make-up box while doing a bit of Spring Cleaning about a week ago.

 

As it's a small, sachet sample I would assume this came with a magazine but I cannot for the life of me tell you which magazine it might have come with, or even how long I've had it!

 

 

Foundation is not usually something I wear on a day to day basis (unless I'm having a bad skin day) but I do like to have one when I need a bit of extra coverage for a special occasion.

 

 

The shade I have is 'Soft Beige' which I would say is probably about 2 shades darker than what I would usually wear during the day so I only put this to use on Easter Sunday when I went out for a couple of drinks.

 

 

 

What Does The Product Promise?

 

To reawaken skin with a healthy radiant glow

A light, moisturising texture

Smooth application

Flawless, natural looking finish

Anti Fatigue Effect

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

See, I wasn't kidding about it being a few shades darker than what I'd normally wear, but, luckily on a night out I tend to be a teeny bit darker because I wear a gradual tanner to stop me looking like a zombie.

 

 

 

 

 

It does blend in extremely well and it did make my skin feel smooth and soft. I was apprehensive that it might be noticeable that I was wearing a darker shade but it didn't cause much of an issue at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the foundation has been blended it does leave a tiny bit of a shimmer but I think this is more than likely the 'radiance' promised.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's the finished result!

 

I'm really pleased with this foundation, Rimmel seem to be on fire at the moment! And I will more than likely purchase this foundation in the near future.

 

 

Granted, I used a primer and a light dusting of loose powder but this foundation lasted all night and didn't go patchy at all.

 

I would say its more of a light/medium coverage but as it blends so well I would imagine you could build it up to achieve your desired result.

 

 





 

 

What I Liked:

 

Lovely, smooth, texture

Blends like a dream

Subtle fruity fragrance (peach or apricot? I can't quite decide but it's nice all the same)

Affordable (retails at £8.99 which won't break the bank)

Long lasting

Light on skin

Complimenting products (concealer and shimmer)

 

 

 

What I Didn't Like:

 

Only 6 shades available

I personally think that the shimmer is a bit too much for a 'natural' look but it was perfect for a night out.
