Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

I love rimmel ! I also can't live without a primer and this one is "okay" for my skin type. I'm normal/combo and I tend to get a bit oily in my Tzone and I found the primer couldn't defeat this and I had to re lend out my makeup after about 3.5-4 hours of wear. I think it's a great product if I'm on a budget and can't afford something more suited to my skin type. I do find my makeup glides on smooth and even using this primer just the staying power doesn't work for me unfortunately ....

I always have this product in my kit as I can rely on it to fill in pours ans fine lines,I find it evens out skin tone and brightens your face for foundation application,I put a pea sized amount on my fingers and dab into my cheeks,nose and forehead,this method helps the primer fill in the pores,it comes in a tube which is real handy if you need to take out with you,there is no worry of breakage

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.

This product is a great price & to be fair, is pretty good value for money. It makes your skin feel smooth & dries quickly, ready for your foundation. Foundation then goes on smoothly & blends out well. It definitely helps with staying power, but I have found that now it is getting colder, my foundation seems to separate on my nose. If I dont have the primer on, it just rubs off.

Sent from my iPad is that whilst it

I just repurchased this primer which means I really liked it. This is my every day primer I wear to work. I like it because it feels like a moisturiser and not like usual silicone primers. This may not be as smooth as those ones but I love it on my skin. I have the 002 which is the white one which dries clear anyway. I just think it is a good base before foundation or bb/cc cream and it makes my makeup last longer. It's not amazing but for the price, I think it's pretty good value. I get mine from Asos which is around $10 so it's cheaper than buying it in stores over here.

This is actually a good primer. I hadn't used it for a while due to having a couple of new ones, but rediscovered it and began re-using it during my product panning over recent months.

The packaging is very simple - a 30 ml squat white tube with dark purple screw cap and labelling. It's not inspiring packaging, but this is a product that lives in the bathroom, so that doesn't worry me. The screw cap can be a little tricky as once the products on your fingers the tube has to stay open until you have clean hands again which isn't ideal for a face product.

The primer is a disturbingly orange shade fresh from the tube but soon settles to a natural skin tone as you smooth it into your face. I have shade 001 and it's fine for my pale skin.

I have oily skin and this actually acts as a mattifier as well as a smoother, which I wasn't expecting. With this as a base it's much easier to smooth and blend foundation - and as promised the foundation does last when you use this.

It has a foundation-y scent, which is very faint and not at all offensive. Once applied, skin feels very smooth.

I don't know that a primer of this nature is necessary every day - I mostly use it when my skin is shocking, or at night - but this is definitely worth a go for the comparatively small pricetag

I brought this hearing it was a decent drug store primer, especially when I'm a student.I was shocked to realise after I brought it there were two types, a clear/white and an orange one. I had brought the orange. When applied I found that if not rubbed in properly my foundation went more orange than it should. that can be solved by rubbing it in quite alot. However this product did reduce my large pores alot which was pretty awesome and gave me a smooth face.

So I am loving me some Rimmel products as of late! lol. Why did it take so long for me to discover this brand in the first place? I used the tiniest amount under my foundation and whilst not blown away by this product I did think my foundation sat a little better on my skin. Had no issues with the orange tone of it as I'm mixed ethnicity and so I don't have pale porcelain skin which I could see being an issue with this product.

This isn't a great primer. It's orange, which I find odd. I just don't think it makes much of a difference, if any, to the longevity of my foundation. I have MASSIVE pores on my nose and going outwards towards the apples of my cheeks and this does nothing to make them appear smaller at all. You have to be super careful when you rub it in to make sure you don't get any orange patches on your skin. It also smells really odd, in my opinion. All in all it's just not a great product and you can find a lot better for similar prices.

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.
