Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

I love Rimmel products they are cheap and generally do the job. This was no exception. It acted as a great smoothing primer for my face. It made foundation glide on.

My only issue was that I have combination skin and found that it was a tad oily. I purchased the clear one, if that makes any difference and I definitely think it does a better job than no primer at all but it's not my first pick.

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.

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.

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 got this product super cheap off Asos and so for the price I bought it for I cannot really complain. But I found this product far too orange for me even though I don't consider myself very pale and I found that my foundation actually rubbed/came off much quicker. It did also cling to the dry patches of my skin making me look very patchy, but it did feel very smooth on the other parts of my face.

I decided to try this as a cheaper alternative to my usual primer, but have to say I was disappointed.

Although this is described as smoothing out the skin and minimising pores, I would use it purely to prolong the wear of my foundation, and even then I would use it sparingly. I find it has an orange tinge to it, so you have to really rub it in before you put your foundation on. If you use too much (which is easy to do as it come pouring out of the tube) it can make your skin look shiny and actually made my mascara smear as soon as I got hot.

It is good enough if you are on a budget, but just does not stand up to the others I have used, and I would much prefer to spend a bit more and have better results.

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.

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.

Thought I would try this out. It's colour tint surprised me a first but it didn't change the colour of my foundation at all so I was happy with that. It goes on smoothly and evens out my skin but I have oily skin and this product doesn't keep this at bay and by midway through the day my oil comes through. I will use the rest of the tube but I would not repurchase.
