Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

This was the first primer I ever used. I was a little worried about it's peachy/orange tone and the scent really got to me.

I decided to try it anyway and it did nothing to my skin except make it look really greasy (which is odd because I have dry skin), and it didn't help foundation stay on. I'm now wondering I this is because of the greasiness.

I'm not sure ifI I perhaps got a bad batch but I used it straight for a week and then threw it out, I hated it so much

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.

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!!

I had never used a primer before until purchasing the Lime Crime eyeshadow helper, now that is a winner and I was totally convinced that primer is amazing and that I needed a full face version. This product is not it.

I like Rimmel, I do, normally they're products are spot on for me but I did find this to be lacking. It felt amazing at first, smoothed on really nicely, felt light and refreshing as I let it dry, smelt pretty good for a primer, I was convinced! Until a few hours later at work. I am a receptionist in a small beauty therapy clinic and it get's pretty hot sometimes. I may as well have not been wearing a primer for all the good that this little pot did me. While I don' expect a primer to be a life saving remedy. The Lime Crime version across my cheeks and nose worked a treat. This was definitely dissapointing.

I boasted about this when I first used it, but it was my first primer.. I realise now my mistake. Whilst this is cheap, and probably good for dry skin, my skin is normal-oily and found this has no power compared to other primers. It does come out of the tube orange, but it does go clear I found, but if you were incredibly pale, I don't know if you would go orange or not, because it can be quite a strong colour.

I think if you're on a very low budget, with dry skin, this would be a primer to try, and eventually move on from, but other than that, no way.

I bought this product on a whim- I wanted something else which wasn't in stock, and picked this up because it was there. The first time I opened it was a shock- it's very orange. And as a person with practically transparent skin that was daunting. However, as long as it's well blended, it doesn't add any color to your skin. I didn't find that my pores were smaller, but my foundation definitely lasted longer.

I like this primer i just purchased it as it was on sale in kmart and i like it. It doesnt really give a silicony feeling like most primers but still feels good. it doesnt chnge thr colour to your face which i also like. Kept my make up on a few hours longer also sprayed mac fix spray on top and and it doubles the long wear.

I use this primer almost everyday with my tinted moisturiser. It really helps the tinting effect to last longer. However, when I used the primer with RImmel BB cream, I had this cakey feeling. I tried to improve this by scrubbing my face before putting make-up on and using a good sponge as well. Sadly, I can't achieve the natural look I want.

The first time I tried this primer was at a daytime music festival in Brisbane. Usually my face melts off quick smart in that kind of environment so you can imagine my delight when I got home afterwards and it still looked good. Good enough to go back out clubbing without having to touch up much at all. Needless to say I bought a tube as soon as I got back to NZ and have repurchased since then. I find this primer goes on smoothly (probably due to the silicone) and gives a nice tint to my skin but this may not suit all skin tones. It makes my makeup last heaps longer than usual and I dont get smudges or creasing in my frown lines which is always a bonus haha. This is now my "in between" primer which I use for days where I need my makeup to last til after work or weekends where I'm going out but not having a super big night.

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.
