Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

I bought this quickly as it was the first I saw on the shelf and the price was good too. It has an odd but not horrible smell to it and is quick thick. It absorbs quickly which is good. I don’t wear make up often so was just wanting something to smooth my skins appearance and it surprisingly did just that. I have used it under foundation once and it seemed to hold well. I think if you are after a cheap primer to even skin texture this is a good product.

I bought this to try as I was low on primer, generally like Rimmel products, and it was very cost friendly. I've been using it occasionally now just to use it up but I wasn't overly impressed with it. The texture reminded me like more of a lotion-like glue which I didn't really like the feel of and my skin didn't look any smoother once it was applied. I didn't notice my makeup lasting any better than when I don't apply primer, either.

However, it might not be the right match for my skin and could work well for other people so would be worth a try.

When I recently bought a new Rimmel foundation, I wanted to have a good base to apply the foundation to. I like the fact that it promises to fix and perfect my skin in prep for foundation. The tube it comes in is quite pleasing to my eye because of the purple but otherwise it's pretty standard.

It has a screw cap and you squeeze (gently) to get the product out. The primer is white/cream in colour and is very thick which makes it perfect for a primer. It has no real in your face fragrance which I love because I can't stand too many scents around my face area. The formula is quite creamy and glides on like silk. It definitely gives a good base for my foundation which is what I am after.

See it all makes my heart fluffy up to there. What I found that even after using translucent powder to help with the stay power my makeup melted off with 3 hours. I wasn't doing anything strenuous, just working from my desk. Usually my foundation alone with the powder lasts no problem but with this it just kind of wore away. Admittedly I ate lunch but that never warrants it coming off that much.

I tried it for a whole two weeks with the same result. Upon using a different primer in the same brand it seemed to stay for much longer. I can only put it down to the primer because it was only when I used that, that it happened. I prefer the other primer to this one, so for that it gets a thumb down!

I have been using this product for a month now and I am impressed with its ability to make my makeup look amazing including occluding all those wrinkles I have and lasting all day and into the evening.Amazing little gem of a product.

I was quite surprised to find that this primer looks really nice as a stand alone product, so perfect for that day when you don't want to wear full makeup but still want to even out your skin. Wouldn't say it's the best primer to use under foundation that I have used, but would definitely buy again just for those lazy days (or sunny days)

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

I use this product every time I put on my makeup and it defiantly allows my makeup to last ten time longer. Its a definite "go to" before put on any of my makeup.

Definitely didn't like this primer as much as I thought I would. I found that it didn't really prime my skin and my foundation looked as though I hadn't primed either as it went oily and yuck looking quite soon after applying it over this primer. I didn't really like the fact it was tinted as the colour moved around a bit, and it also did nothing to cover my pores which is one of its main selling points. I suppose it would be decent for people with drier skin who have barely any pores, but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

I swear by primers but this one isnt a favourite. It felt more like a tinted moisturizer than a primer and at that it felt caked on my face. I didnt find it light - which is what a base/primer needs to be if i am putting foundation over it.

I brought this because it was relatively cheap and I needed a new primer. I find it to be average - it glides on smoothly, has a nice texture and my makeup definitely stays in place. But it doesn't really hide or minimise my pores, which is my main focus when i buy a primer. I don't think I would buy this one again - so the hunt for the perfect primer continues unfortunately.
