Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ! 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 brought this because it was relatively cheap and I needed a new primer. I find it to be average - it glides on smoothly, has a nice texture and my makeup definitely stays in place. But it doesn't really hide or minimise my pores, which is my main focus when i buy a primer. I don't think I would buy this one again - so the hunt for the perfect primer continues unfortunately.

I swear by primers but this one isnt a favourite. It felt more like a tinted moisturizer than a primer and at that it felt caked on my face. I didnt find it light - which is what a base/primer needs to be if i am putting foundation over it.

Definitely didn't like this primer as much as I thought I would. I found that it didn't really prime my skin and my foundation looked as though I hadn't primed either as it went oily and yuck looking quite soon after applying it over this primer. I didn't really like the fact it was tinted as the colour moved around a bit, and it also did nothing to cover my pores which is one of its main selling points. I suppose it would be decent for people with drier skin who have barely any pores, but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

I use this product every time I put on my makeup and it defiantly allows my makeup to last ten time longer. Its a definite "go to" before put on any of my makeup.
