Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer Review

I love this primer, its tinted lightly blue and counteracts my redness aswell as adding a lumi glow. My foundation applys amazingly over top and lasts all day, my pores are barely visible and its really hydrating.

This is a highly affordable primer with well designed packaging. As it is made to stand on its lid the product is always ready to go when you need it.

The consistency is quite thick. It leaves the skin feeling super smooth and corrected. When it comes to applying foundation it feels like it 'catches' instead of going on smoothly.

My skin can get rather oily and I feel that this primer exaggerates that. If I wear no primer foundation stays ok for a couple of hours, other primers it lasts for the good part of the day, but with this primer it starts streaking and sliding off within an hour. I end up with patches melted off!

If you want an affordable primer I'd recommend Rimmel's Stay Matte over this.

This primer is alright, nothing awful, nothing great.

I have dry skin and it feels nice and smooth when I put it on. I've used a few different foundations over top of it and they all go on nicely but that's about it.

It doesn't do anything to minimize pores or really make my skin LOOK smoother and I haven't noticed it making my makeup last any longer than it would without it.

It's nice and cheap but now that I've run out, I won't be repurchasing. It's a nice base, but doesn't do the things I want a primer to do!

I bought this primer as I really like the Rimmel products I have tried so far it was very affordable. I found it to be a bit greasy and made my face quite shiny so I started putting it on a bit thinner. It didn't seem to blur or minimise pores and imperfections, but my skin did feel smoother though. My make up didn't seem to last much longer than it would usually without it.

This is only the third primer I have tried. It's a product that I still not confident spending a lot on because I'm not entirely sure I need it. I love the way it feels on my face, it is slightly tacky and does blur the pores on my cheeks that are noticeable. I haven't used it with it's matching foundation but I don't think it made my foundation last any longer.

This is an OK primer. You do get a lot of product for the price, it is a cream primer which is kinda thick. I can't say that it made my skin look any better, it did minimize my pores and make my foundation stay on longer.I used this with the lasting finish foundation. Its an OK primer, the price is a big draw card but I would still chose other primers over this.

I was given this primer from a friend because it wasn't quite her cup of tea. My skin is comparatively drier and I have issues with redness. But given she didn't like it I was a bit dubious. All for no reason it seems! The small white bottle is plastic with a red twist-off cap on the base - nothing to write home about, though it is nice not to have to shake it crazily to get product out. The formula is white with a slight blueish tint when in a blob but once spread thin it loses the white-ness and leaves a shine on your skin. The blueish tint does seem to help a little with my redness which is great. After about 10 minutes the shine dulls into a slight glow, so it doesn't look oily on skin. It smells of generic lotion to me which isn't nice but isn't bad. Overall I haven't found it extends the life of my make up or reduce pores, but it does seem to help my skin from drying or clogging from my make up and also helps redness - all up I'm happy.

The first week I used this I wasnt a fan. That was because I wasn't letting it dry before applying bb cream or foundation. Apply a thin layer to your face and neck and let it dry for a few minutes. It doesn't blur imperfections or pores but it definetely makes my bb cream or foundation stay put all day long, I have oily skin. I'm glad I purchased this because I have never used a primer before and I will definitely be buying more. I have used it everyday for a month and I can tell it is going to last me ages.

The price attracted me first - it was very reasonable and was also on sale at Farmers so, win! My last primer was in a glass bottle with an undetachable pump which had to be broken to get the last third out, so even though the look of the Rimmel primer is fairly utilitarian (ie ugly), it's easy to squeeze the product and then you can just cut the tube and scrape the last bits out.

It feels like a moisturiser, goes on smoothly and stays moist for quite a while, so I usually wait for ten minutes or so before I start applying makeup on top. I don't usually use a foundation (altho I use everything else - contour, highlight, blush, bronze, powder, lol) and this does a good job of keeping everything put and giving a slightly dewy finish.

It doesn't minimise my pores, but it does make my skin look smoother and makes a good base for makeup.

On the whole, not bad at all for the price, would recommend :)
