Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

I brought this when I was a ran out of primer and just needed a cheap one in the mean time. It did the job in terms of making foundation apply smoother. I was very surprised when opening it, that it is an orange/salmon colour and leaves a slight tint to your face. When you are quite fair skinned like me it looks obvious. I then had to try mask the tint with my foundation. Overall the colour is what puts in down so I will not be repurchasing.

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.

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!

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.

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 :)

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)

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.

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!
