I've been trying my hand at different liquid foundations and one day whilst innocently perusing the makeup stands at Boots, I saw that Rimmel had £2.00 off their foundations. I spent about 20 minutes swatching and colour matching foundation and I finally settled on this one. I picked the shade, 201 Classic Beige and I must say, it's pretty much a perfect match.
The foundation itself isn't too liquidy at all and usually one pump of this will be enough to cover my face. I do like the pump design as it helps me judge how much foundation I need and there's very little room for any wastage.
It applies like a dream with my Real Techniques stippling brush and has a slight floral scent to it which I found pleasant and not over powering. It has medium coverage and leaves a nice dewy, natural finish. For me, it's the perfect daytime foundation.
Staying power wise, it's pretty good. For your standard 6 hour day, you'll find you won't have to touch up during the day but I've worn this for a 10 hour shift at work and it's almost all but gone by the time I come home.
This foundation retails for £6.99 which I think is a great price for a drugstore foundation but I like waiting for some great offers that Boots and Superdrug do.

Great review Vanessa~ ^^
ReplyDeleteMy bourjois healthymix is almost running out, have you tried that? Do you think its similar to this? I want to switch up my foundation ^__^
I've tried the Bourjois Healthy mix+ serum before, it's a little less gel like than that but I feel this one gave better coverage (if you know what I mean) This is a great foundation if you're looking to switch things up a little :)

Lovely review, I always find it hard to get high street foundations to match my pale skin.

Thanks! It's a shame that drugstore brands don't cater to more skin types :(
