I've used both colours of this primer, I was a little stand offish with the orange tinted one (001), but since starting to use the white (002) it has been on my face every day! The orange tint made me nervous as I am very fair, so the white cream is perfect,.
Makeup goes on smoothly, pores are still noticable but everything stays on all day!
Tips: Try and get your hands on shade 002 (white), especially if you're pale and worry about the orange tint.
This isn't a very good primer, but being only $20 it wasn't too much of a shock. It doesn't really smooth out the skin to a point where it makes the foundation look any better, it doesn't reduce the appearance of pores like it says it does either. It does prolong the wear of foundation though so if that's what you're looking for then this would be fine. The orange colour of the product is a bit off putting as well, it doesn't come off too strong on the skin, but it does give an orange tinge to the skin. Once the foundation is over it though, that does go away. Over all, i wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Tips: If you do purchase this product, do make sure to blend it well into the skin and give it a moment or two to set in.
I'm not in love with this, nor do I hate it but for some reason I cant quite justify the point of it though I really do want to try the 002 as I have the 001 and its seems to be more like a tinted moisturizer, i don't see much difference after i've applied my foundation over it either. it doesn't minimize my pores :( I am very light skinned too with quite a few freckles so was kind of a weird colour for my skin. For the price, can't expect too much from it. Ohwell, atleast I tried it :)
Tips: Use fingers to apply to warm it up and blend it in more. I found it didnt really help when i used my brushes, made it look even worse on my face.
I've used this several times since I purchased it and to be quite honest, it doesn't do much for my skin.
The packaging is very Rimmel-esque, in that it's very basic and looks like something that is sold at K-Mart or The Warehouse. It comes in a squeezy tube, so to me it is quite practical as you can squeeze out the product to the last drop.
As for the product itself, it has a slight tint to it, which didn't bother me at all since I am quite dark skinned. The texture is very creamy and it does melt in to the skin nicely. I must admit for a 'drugstore' primer, it did leave my skin baby-soft. The real downfall of this product, is that it did absolutely nothing for the longevity of my foundation. So as of now, I have mixed reviews on this primer I actually prefer to just use moisturiser.
If you're after a primer that will leave your skin feeling super soft then this is the one to go for. However, it will do nothing to keep your foundation in place all day, and you will need to powder a lot throughout the day.

I swear by this primer... My skin is left feeling hydrated and my imperfections aren't so noticeable. Though I found it hard to 'move' around due it being quite a thick creamy consistency, I found for the price you pay, it's well worth it!! It doesnt last as long as my other oily based ones (I found the oily ones best for using less product)
Tips: Use your fingers!!! It heats up the primer and therefore glides on and covers more area that way!
I had previously used another brand priner and was very disappointed, so didn't want to spend a lot on something which didn't work.
For the price this product is amazing.
My makeup goes on at 6.30am, and is still in place at 9pm when I take it off.
For the price it is certainly worth trying - I was very pleasantly suprised.
Tips: Wait for it to lose its initial moisture before apply foundation (only takes a minute ot so)
I did not enjoy this product at all.
I have quite pale skin so the orangey/salmon colour did not work well for me at all! It was super noticeable once applied which wasn't good at all.
May work for people with darker skin but for me it was a no-go.
Rimmel's Fix and Perfect primer is my holy grail of primer and pre-foundation products. There is no words that can describe how much I love this product - but I'll give it a shot!
At first, I will definitely say I was a bit hesitant when first applying the product. It does come out very salmon (or orange) from the tube, but once applied to my very pale skin, it worked wonders with helping reduce dark circles and patches in my skin.
It left my skin feeling incredibly soft. It didn't reduce the pores so much, but enough for it to look as smooth as it felt.. and who wants zero pores anyway? I don't really want to look massively photoshopped.
The primer definitely made my foundation last all day. I've used it under 3 different foundations/BB Creams (Revlon PhotoReady, Rimmel Match Perfection + Garnier BB Cream) and all had the same long lasting goodness with the primer underneath.
The price is fantastic - I've seen and used primers that can cost $30+ which will do the same thing, if not worse of a job.. so having this in an affordable price range (I picked mine up for $14 on sale at The Warehouse, $18 at Farmers) is absolutely fabulous.
The only downside I've found is that even though it's in a squeezy bottle - it's hard to get the last bits out. I've resorted to cutting the top off when I can't squeeze any more out and find there is heaps left for a week or twos application.
I really, truly love this product and would definitely recommend it to friends - to anyone really who is after a cheap primer that is also fantastic!
Tips: Don't be afraid of the salmon colour! It counteracts dark, cooler tones.
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!
I got this because I had run out of my ELF mineralized and I needed one for the ball. Did nothing for my skin, and I hated the feeling it left, almost tacky.I was scared when I saw it was a pinky-orange colour, but thankfully it doesnt tint my skin at all. I just didnt like it at all, will not rebuy.
