Rimmel Lasting Radiance Foundation Reviews

This foundation seemed to blend really nicely even when I was in a rush and putting it on with no primer underneath, and that is what sold it for me. It is a medium coverage foundation that is quick and easy to apply, leaves my skintone looking even (and therefore radiant), and is buildable.

I like the pump wand, and I found it was easy to keep clean and to dispense the right amount of product.

The shade I picked online (without having tested the foundation itself) was slightly darker than I had imagined, and I was worried it would be too dark/orange. However, when I applied it, I found it so smooth and it really glided onto my skin and blended easily, leaving my skin looking really nice (this was regardless of what moisturiser and/or primer I applied underneath - although it did seem to look at its best with the primer from the same range).

It is rare that I find this with a foundation (as most tend to leave dry patches even when my skin is really primed), so I was really impressed. Due to the way it blended, it was easy to build up which was also great.

It left quite a matte finish, with my usually oily skin just slightly shiny by the end of the day. I was worried a foundation with the key word 'radiance' might just make my slightly oily face look oilier, but it really made me seem to glow and evened out my skintone without making me oily - absolutely ideal, and something I am always looking for in a foundation.

I think it will be the perfect foundation to bring back out in Summer, when my skin naturally darkens. Plus it has SPF protection which is even better! I would definitely purchase it again.

Like most pump activated foundations, this took a few squeezes to get out the first time I used it. Subsequent uses were less problematic.

I squeezed it out onto the back of my hand, as I do with most liquid foundations, the first time ending up with way too much, and the second, not enough. The consistency was nice, not greasy, and very speadable.

For the first try, I applied and spread it with my fingertips, doing my left side first, then the right. The product was soft, spread easily and blended fairly well, although I did encounter a couple of small streaks around my nose, where I clearly missed applying it.

After I'd finished applying it, I checked it in the mirror. Coverage appeared light-medium, and I could still see freckles through the colour of the foundation. Overall the finish was soft to touch, dried easily and didn't feel too tacky or dewy. My skin had a nice light glimmer to it.

For the second and subsequent applications, I used a brush, which gave me more even coverage and a smoother look. Although I hadn't pumped out enough, it was easy to fix.

This foundation definitely didn't dry my skin out, nor did it make it greasy, so it was perfect for my combination-dry-mature skin.

Overall this was a nice everyday foundation. I wouldn't recommend it as evening makeup, as the coverage isn't quite heavy enough. I suppose one could build coverage with this product, but I prefer a ready made product for that purpose.

This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump, pretty standard stuff. I find one pump can do a base layer and a 2nd pump for more coverage. It's definitely a medium coverage but easily builds up.

My skin is dry so I usually go for a dewy foundation but I found this to be a bit greasy looking which accentuated any spots or imperfections on my face.

The colour was very yellow undertoned but that could just be poor shade choice, and I did find the foundation transferred onto hands etc, but it did wear well when paired with a good powder.

All in all, I will probably finish the bottle off but I wouldn't purchase this foundation as there are others available that suit my skin better.

With luminousity and spf 25, this moisturising foundation is great value for money (around $25 for 30ml). I found I needed only half a pump for medium coverage as it leans more tan than my complexion suits. This was workable as it has a good stretch and I used it juduciously. The powdery white floral scent elevates the experience of using it. It feels luxurious and light. I love the glass bottle and pump applicator. It is easy, hygienic, and provides economical distribution. It wore well and lasted the day without touch-ups. I wouldn’t repurchase this particular shade, it was not perfect for me, but the product is very good.

I chose shade 100 Ivory from trial confirmation. There wasn’t too many to choose from – 6 in total. Feel that’s a good thing, too many to choose from gets so confusing, constant changing my mind, especially when shopping online.

We were asked to trial the product fairly & for the committed time, even if the colour wasn’t quite right. Upon, arriving my heart sunk, thinking that the colour chosen was far too dark. Such a usual thing when buying online without doing a colour match. Colour test on the inside of my wrist appeared too dark, even the 100 Ivory colour which was the second lightest. It really just seemed too orange/bronze like. I wouldn’t have purchased it in store based on this BUT I have been proven wrong.

When applying, after smoothing and settling in, the colour actually gives a sun kissed glow without looking like more than just a BB cream has been applied. Radiant describes well. Gives a much smoother cover than just BB cream. This is not a bad thing for me; I have days where I want much more cover and days where this look would work with just some powder to set.

The cover is even and easily applied (I use the Nude by Nature BB cream brush), short bristles. Other products I have used can be patchy & uneven after one layer. Preferred to put on top of hand and apply with a brush, saying that it was also quite nice to just apply with fingertips. Doesn't dry too fast or dry to glunky.

I applied with Primer and Without Primer – both ways were the same. It gave me enough time to gently just work it in, blending without drying too fast.

This is where I am happiest with this product, for a fuller cover just adds another layer. The first layer still stays flexible enough to continue blending in.

I have normal skin, had no reaction. States being a medium cover foundation, anti-pollution with SPF25. Anything with SPF a favourite for me. Anti-pollution not a draw card, pretty sure foundation isn’t really going to save me from pollution. Also claims I’ll get 24 hour hydration, I never need to wear foundation for 24 hrs. I found after 4 hours a touch up was needed, but that’s ok, would always just touch things up anyway with lippy etc.... I also don’t use a setting spray, to be honest if I wanted full day coverage with all the bells and whistles for say a wedding I probably wouldn’t use this foundation. But for all the days in-between I’m very satisfied.

A versatile, adaptable, fresh product that does a great everyday job, with the price point being $25.00 from Farmers, The Warehouse, Countdown...the convenience is appreciated, it gets 4 ticks from me, what a amazing price!

Not a “holy grail” product, just a decent & not too complicated stable. If there are days or weeks when you just need something to do a great job and can be relied on this is the one.

BR, thanks for introducing me to a great brand and product......not going to overlook Rimmel at all now.

This is my new favourite foundation! Honestly, I didn't like it at first because of the glittery effect on the face like my face is really glowing and radiant because of the glitters! I am someone who likes matte rather than the shimmery stuff you put on the face but this one made me like shimmery makeup products!

My face is glowing all day which I like. The coverage is really good and actually at first I felt like the shade was a wee bit dark for me but it's not! It blends on my skin and doesn't oxidise which is really amazing because most foundation oxidise on my skin. I like its longetivity, stays on my face the whole day. Lastly, the SPF is amazing! I love that it has SPF, I am someone who uses sunscreen all the time because I want to take care of my skin.

Overall, would repurchase when I ran out. Love it so much!

I chose the lightest shade for my super pale skin - it was a great match and I think it warmed my skin tone up a little which is nice.

This leaves a radiant, glow finish - if you prefer a flat / matte foundation, this is not the one for you. This is J-lo glow foundation!

I built this up as I like a full cover foundation - so maybe 2 - 3 layers all up, but it remained even and smooth.

Highly recommend!

This foundation definitely does what it says - my skin is radiant for the whole time I wear it. I find it lasts the whole day without needing touching up.

It was easy to apply, I used my beauty blender. The foundation isn't too runny.

I love that it has spf 25, perfect for adding another layer of sun protection!

Would buy and recommend!

This foundation is a good product for a good price.

The negatives: - - extremely limited shade range. With so much focus on brands like Fenty releasing oodles of shades per base product, its kind of glaring to release a product with just 6 shades. - it lasts most of the day, but would need touching up if you were off out after work.

the positives: - it glows. It's has a lovely dewy finish. - its a light formula that's also very buildable - great price

I probably would buy this again, particularly as its so easy to pick up Rimmel.

This foundation was good, it has spf25 which I love and the coverage was quite good, it has glitter all through it to make your skin look 'radiant'. While the foundation had all these plus sides I found it was slightly orange on my skin which was quite disappointing. I'm gonna try another shade though because I loved my glowy complexion when using!
