I found this didnt work for em. I would of thought being a BB cream it would suit nearly everyone and anyone. But there was just something not right about. I didnt like how it went on and how it looked once on. I prefer another brand which i wont name over this one.

I picked up the light to try at a makeup sale to give it a whirl. It's similar thickness to my garnier bbcream but maybe a tad thicker, I didn't like the smell and although light works for me in most items I found this way too dark. I gave it tyo my mum to try on who is much much tanner than me and it suited her perfectly! Coverage wasnt very good also.
I find it difficult to find bb creams for my skin as I am dark skinned but I was ecstatic when I saw this as it was darker than any others I had seen. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with it! To be fair I got a couple of compliments on my skin that day but I felt as though it was very heavy, a bit oily and I wasn't a fan of the smell... It let a bit chemically if you know what I mean.
I may try it again in winter when it's not do warm out maybe it won't feel as heavy then.
Tips: Work fast with this product as it is a bit thicker than other BB creams
I brought this along with a couple of other rimmel products and was highly dissapointed with results. I found it was hard to blend, did not spread well and was thick almost like a heavy duty sunblock. It went patchy, and had an orange hue to it. It does not match up to the high standards of BB creams already on the market.
This was the first BB cream I ever bought and don't get me wrong I am the biggest Rimmel fan, but this product just let me down! It was very heavy and was quite hard to blend out. With other BB creams I didn't feel like I was wearing makeup but this one was very obvious and I could really feel it! Also the colour range wasn't fantastic.
I am a HUGE Rimmel fan. It is my go to makeup brand I have pretty much loved everything I have tried but not this. I tried so hard to like it but I just couldn't.
First of all the lightest colour is to orange for my skin tone so it looks like it has oxidised on my skin. They have quite a limited colour range. If I'm really desperate I can make it work if I have the time to blend it in really well and slowly build up the coverage. I'm not one to just throw out a product I do try to make it work. I do like the finish though, it makes me look nice and dewy.
It also doesn't really have the lasting power on my skin and can really only be worn out to run errands because it just turns my face into an oil slick and rubs off even if I haven't touched my face. Even my family have commented on this which makes me feel even less enthused to wear it if other people can noticeably see my make up is coming off and looks orange!
I wish I could use this product as Rimmel is such a great brand and definitely one of my faves but this product just did not work for me at all so would not buy again.
Tips: Priming and setting will be your best friend with this product!
Going to get straight to the point with this one as it's orangey and no one wants that! There's nothing more disappointing when you get new a BB cream or foundation than to find that it has an orangey pigment to it.. The shade I got this BB cream in is medium.. Perhaps the light shade doesn't have that problem? I don't know, but I can manage to make this BB cream work, by buffing lashings of translucent powder over top of it. I can actually get it looking quite nice by doing this, as there's nothing wrong with the consistency of the BB cream, it applies nicely and smoothes the appearance of my skin as any BB cream should.
Another way I can make use of it is using it as a primer for a foundation that's a tad light.. If you're like me and always trying different foundations, you might end up with some that are too light, some that are too dark.. In this case you might find this BB cream usable as a primer to balance out a foundation that's a bit light for your skin tone.
Although i've managed to make use of this BB cream, I'd have to strongly advise against anyone considering purchasing it!
This BB cream foundation is very hydrating, a good primer and the added sunscreen makes it a great everyday foundation for a very light coverage for dry-normal skin types. It has a light feeling to it and gives a natural, dewy glow. Not great long wear for oily skin types and accentuates shine because of the sunscreen. I found this product hard to set also because of the added sunscreen. Doesn't have the coverage, matte finish or pore concealment I was expecting so if those are features you want then this isn't the foundation for you.
Tips: If you don't like the scent of sunscreen then maybe steer clear of this product. Applies great with any applicator.
The consistency was so thick and I mainly used it as sunscreen. For how thick it was it didn't conceal well and it was leaving my skin looking pink . It felt like oil on my skin so i had to set it with a foundation powder.
Very orange color. Thick looking coverage, settled in my pores giving a bad appearance. Nor the greatest texture. Sticky and thick also hard to remove. Would not purchase again.
