This was my first (and possibly only) Rimmel foundation. I found that it went very streaky when using a foundation brush but applied ok with a wet beauty blender.
The packaging was nice. It felt nice and sturdy, with a secure lid. I like that I am able to see the product through the bottle too.
The foundation is quite watery so I was concerned that I was "washing" away my primer. It only provided very light coverage and clung to dry areas that I didn't even know I had, despite using moisturiser and primer first. An hour or two later it was slipping off my face due to my oily skin (I had set it with powder but it didn't help) which was very disappointing.
I'd recommend this foundation to someone starting out in makeup (my teenage niece for example) who has an even complexion and normal (not dry or oily!) skin.
I recently bought this as i had run out of my normal foundation and needed something to get me through til postage day. Its medium coverage which i dont usually get, i like a full coverage matte look, this definately doesnt give this. The finish was semi shiny (no traces of shimmer on the skin that i could see though) but i still like it. It smelled really nice and spread well with a foundation brush but it stayed wet for a while once applied, it took a while to set compared to other foundations ive used. Not very builable so if you want full coverage, this is not for you, all that said, it stayed all day aswell as through a very hard workout. I would use again, on a good skin day only :)
