Thanks BR for giving me the opportunity to try out this foundation. I’ve never been able to wear more affordable foundations as they tend to separate on my skin throughout the day. This one didn’t and although it didn’t last a full 8 hours it still looked fresh for around 6. I normally wouldn’t go for a radiant finish foundation as I tend to get quite oily throughout the day but with a mattifying primer this base just gave me a healthy glow. I did notice in the bright sunlight that it has tiny specks of micro glitter but these aren’t visible in normal lighting conditions. I would definitely recommend this foundation for more mature skin types as the glow does tend to blur fine lines and looks fresh. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone with really shiny skin as it will accentuate your oils but for combination/normal or dry skin this is amazing. I will absolutely keep purchasing this foundation as it’s definitely given my high end ones a run for their money.

Tips: If you’re after a slight glow then apply over a mattifying primer.
This is my first experience with a Rimmel foundation and I'm impressed. The formula and finish of this actually reminds me a lot of the Chanel Aqua Lumiere- a nice dupe if you're looking! The blend of the foundation is pretty seamless, I've had no streaking or oxidising and the shade I selected (103 True Ivory) is an excellent match. SPF 25 is a nice bonus and there's no white cast at all.
It's a liquid formula which dries down well and I've been able to use powder blush on top without pushing around the foundation. It's also quite sheer in terms of coverage. I found it evened out my skin and then I'd go over any trouble areas with a concealer to boost coverage where I wanted it. Definitely not a heavy coverage foundation so look elsewhere if that's what you need.
Overall, a lovely product and one I'll recommend and purchase again
Tips: I applied with fingers but it seems like it'd go equally well with a brush or sponge.
Love it!!! Great size glass container with pump top, its clear so you can see how much is left and its got spf 25!! Whats not to love? I love the consistency and luckily i chose the right colour for me so it blends in nice and even and lasts all day. I tried it on a day around home and also went on a big walk in the warmth to see how it would cope and im pleased to say really well. The big thing with me is i don't want a heavy foundation that is going to rub off on my wee girl, so this is perfect, its lightweight so covers just enough to even out my skin tone and it has the spf factor which is so important to me. I think im going to be giving up the previous brand and moving to this one. Change is as good as a holiday right!! Love it :)
Tips: Just one pump on the bottle is all you really need.
I love Rimmel products, I usually use the match perfection foundation and it is so nice on my skin. I was excited to be on this trial. I selected the shade ivory which is a tad darker than normal so porcelain would have suited better, but I made it work.
It comes in a sturdy 30ml glass bottle with a pump, yay I love a pump with foundation! It has attractive orange packaging which definitely stands out. Consistency wise it is quick thick. If I squirt some onto the back of my hand it does not slide off at all. It has a subtle fresh fragrance and added SPF 25 which is great.
For me I like to apply using my fingers first. I pump some out then warm it up between my fingers and gently apply all over my face. Once I have done that I take my RT sponge and go over top making sure it is blended well and add more anywhere I need extra coverage. It blends super easily and does not cake up on me at all. I have dry skin and it does not cling to any dry patches. It is a medium coverage on me which I prefer as I dislike full coverage foundations.
It gives me a beautiful looking glowing finish, however it leaves tiny glittery particles all over my face which I'm guessing are the radiance pearls as it says. For this reason I would not wear it during the day. I really don't like a glimmering face lol. But for a night out it would be acceptable. I feel like it could go a bit greasy if you have oily skin.
It wears well but I find it settles into fine lines especially on my forehead which I hate. It removes easily and did not break my skin out at all. It is an average foundation for me and I definitely prefer the perfect match that I currently use. I wouldn't recommend it as there are much better products out there. The glitter is big negative for me.
I tend to shy away from 'foundation' as such, as I don't like the 'heavy, clogged, caked on' look that so many of them have. When I put my hand up for the trial team I was drawn to the medium coverage aspect of this product. As well as the 'lasting radiance' claim - who doesn't want to look radiant?!
Well this product certainly does what it promises. The foundation goes on so smoothly and is almost instantly absorbed. It is weightless and my skin feels like it I'm not wearing foundation on at all.
The coverage is sheer enough to not have the caked on look, but at the same time it evens out my skin tone and makes my skin sparkle with the radiance pearls - giving it a radiant look.
Used in conjunction with the primer I only needed two small squirts of the product to adequately cover my whole face and blend in to my neck. Definitely economical in that respect. There is an extremely mild and pleasant smell to it which is also a plus.
I also like the bright orange lid, which makes it easy to find in my makeup case.
Overall I would be happy to recommend this product and would definitely consider purchasing it once my trial bottle runs out.
Although it did offer medium coverage which it fulfilled, unfortunately the shade made me look orange. I may look at trying a different shade in the future but was not impressed with it
First impressions. Visually prior to application you can see how dewy the foundation is through the bottle. Once I applied my skin looked glowy and hydrated. It is medium coverage but definitely buildable. I use shade porcelain and it was still too orange for me which is very bizzare as my other Rimmel porcelain foundations are perfectly fine. With the SPF I did a flash test and there was no flashback which is always a plus.
