Love

This is my every day primer and i use it religously! i love that its super affordable and it really does the job it says it does :) the colour that it is when it comes out is a bit of a put off but when blended i cant tell. It does make my foundation last all day and really smoothes out my skin for a flawless finish. I would say that im in love with this primer!!

Tips: Apply, leave for 5 mins to set, then apply foundation

Perfectly fixes flaws . . . for a while

This is actually a good primer. I hadn't used it for a while due to having a couple of new ones, but rediscovered it and began re-using it during my product panning over recent months.

The packaging is very simple - a 30 ml squat white tube with dark purple screw cap and labelling. It's not inspiring packaging, but this is a product that lives in the bathroom, so that doesn't worry me. The screw cap can be a little tricky as once the products on your fingers the tube has to stay open until you have clean hands again which isn't ideal for a face product.

The primer is a disturbingly orange shade fresh from the tube but soon settles to a natural skin tone as you smooth it into your face. I have shade 001 and it's fine for my pale skin.

I have oily skin and this actually acts as a mattifier as well as a smoother, which I wasn't expecting. With this as a base it's much easier to smooth and blend foundation - and as promised the foundation does last when you use this.

It has a foundation-y scent, which is very faint and not at all offensive. Once applied, skin feels very smooth.

I don't know that a primer of this nature is necessary every day - I mostly use it when my skin is shocking, or at night - but this is definitely worth a go for the comparatively small pricetag

Tips: Cleanse twice... I find once isn't enough when you've primer on!

Rimmel fix & perfect primer

I was looking for another primer to use and came across this one, I was so excited to try it because I love the Rimmel products. It glides on very smooth, it has a mousse texture to it and a browny orange colour to it. Once its rubbed into your skin the colour fades and it leaves a smooth finish to your skin.

I found using a small amount of product and applying it to small areas worked a lot better than using a larger amount and applying it to your face because if you don't rub it in properly the primer leaves a powdery finish to all the parts you didn't rub in properly.

It made my foundation last a little longer compared to just wearing foundation. I have only recently used up all the primer but wont be purchasing it again.

Okay product.

I brought this hearing it was a decent drug store primer, especially when I'm a student.I was shocked to realise after I brought it there were two types, a clear/white and an orange one. I had brought the orange. When applied I found that if not rubbed in properly my foundation went more orange than it should. that can be solved by rubbing it in quite alot. However this product did reduce my large pores alot which was pretty awesome and gave me a smooth face.

A little to orange and made me flaky

I got this product super cheap off Asos and so for the price I bought it for I cannot really complain. But I found this product far too orange for me even though I don't consider myself very pale and I found that my foundation actually rubbed/came off much quicker. It did also cling to the dry patches of my skin making me look very patchy, but it did feel very smooth on the other parts of my face.

Tips: Possibly not the best for very pale skin as it is quite orange

Keeps me matte

I was on the lookout for a mattifying primer because my skin has become quite oily and I needed something to stop my makeup from sliding all over my face. This primer is definitely better than wearing no primer at all, I did see a difference in the oiliness of my skin but I still got shiny after a few hours. The product is really thick and looks and feels like PVA glue which I don't mind too much. It's relatively cheap so I will repurchase if I can't find anything I like more

fix and Perfect

I really love this primer. Rimmel fix and perfect, it comes in a easy to remove product tube and you only need to use a minimal amount for your entire face.

I freaked out a little bit when I first went to use it as the 001 has kind of an orange/peachy color tinge to it but thought what the heck and used it anyway, well to my surprise it went on without any type of oily feel, it was quite nice and thick so I felt like my skin was being moisturised and the peachy tinge to it evened out all my skin tone and cake me a perfected canvas to apply my foundation, it only slightly minimised my pore unfortunately but that was okay.

And it actually did prolong my foundation wear, it helped a foundation that normally ran off my face last all day so i was pleasantly surprised out that too. I did go through the tube quite quickly but happily went out and got this primer again.

Rimmel is becoming a very loved brand in my makeup life and would happily recommend it to anyone to try, the brand is alot cheaper if buying online of even Kmart and Warehouse stock it so its not hard to find when you need to replace the tube.

Eeeep!

So, I had run out of my usual primer and grabbed this to tide me over.....Oh my goodness, I really hated this! Firstly, it was easy enough to apply, and felt smooth as other primers I have tried. Moving on.... Its so orange!!! Not that it made my whole face orange just the little dry patches! As a primer, I just found it awful, it flaked, and went patchy under my makeup, and accentuated all my little flaky/dry patches with its weird orangeness!! Everytime I touched my face it would "roll" and look like I had eraser rubbings on my face. To the bin it went!!! I was better off with no primer at all lol!

Not Yet Sold...

This is a great drugstore Primer. I find that it does fill in my pores, and actually hides some purple scarring on my face. However I am not sure that it actually holds my foundation on any longer, and I find that it is rather sticky, which makes applying foundation sometimes a little strenuous in the morning. Not great, but not bad either.

Tips: I don't think anything beats this for the price.

Not bad for the price!

This primer is slightly above average overall! Firstly, it has a slight orange tinge to it, which is not best if you are fair - it can show under your foundation a bit. It does do a good job at smoothing out your skin and providing a nice clean canvas for putting your makeup onto. It is really affordable which is great if you are on a budget. However, there are many many better primers out there! The packaging is lovely

Tips: Apply with a brush as not to transfer the oil from your fingers onto your face

Thanks for the helpful review! I had been eyeing this up but sounds like it isnt for me, I'm super fair so it would most likely go orange on me!
