Don't waste your money.

This was the first primer I ever used. I was a little worried about it's peachy/orange tone and the scent really got to me.

I decided to try it anyway and it did nothing to my skin except make it look really greasy (which is odd because I have dry skin), and it didn't help foundation stay on. I'm now wondering I this is because of the greasiness.

I'm not sure ifI I perhaps got a bad batch but I used it straight for a week and then threw it out, I hated it so much

Changing my review for this.

I boasted about this when I first used it, but it was my first primer.. I realise now my mistake. Whilst this is cheap, and probably good for dry skin, my skin is normal-oily and found this has no power compared to other primers. It does come out of the tube orange, but it does go clear I found, but if you were incredibly pale, I don't know if you would go orange or not, because it can be quite a strong colour.

I think if you're on a very low budget, with dry skin, this would be a primer to try, and eventually move on from, but other than that, no way.

Eeeep!

So, I had run out of my usual primer and grabbed this to tide me over.....Oh my goodness, I really hated this! Firstly, it was easy enough to apply, and felt smooth as other primers I have tried. Moving on.... Its so orange!!! Not that it made my whole face orange just the little dry patches! As a primer, I just found it awful, it flaked, and went patchy under my makeup, and accentuated all my little flaky/dry patches with its weird orangeness!! Everytime I touched my face it would "roll" and look like I had eraser rubbings on my face. To the bin it went!!! I was better off with no primer at all lol!

Why Orange?

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.

Didn't do much as all.

I love Rimmel foundations and so thought I would give a rimmel primer a go.

This primer has a peachy tint which once rubbed in disappears (although is a bit odd looking when you squeeze it out of the tube). I found this made my skin feel smooth (in that silicon primer kind of way) but didn't minimize my pores at all. It did seem to help my foundation stay looking nice all day but that's about all it did. I wouldn't recommend this primer and will not be repurchasing it.

Tips: Use a small amount, otherwise it will feel heavy on your skin and will not rub in properly.

Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer

So I only got this a few weeks ago..had high hopes...

It's thick and it's a salmon colour so my first thought was WTH!

It dries clear.

It's smooth skin.

It did not fill in my pores. MY foundation sinks into my pores and just infuriates me.

This is not suitable for larged pore girls like myself.

not a fan

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.

Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer

Thought I would try this out. It's colour tint surprised me a first but it didn't change the colour of my foundation at all so I was happy with that. It goes on smoothly and evens out my skin but I have oily skin and this product doesn't keep this at bay and by midway through the day my oil comes through. I will use the rest of the tube but I would not repurchase.

Hmmmmm :/

Honestly, I'm still on the fence about this one.

I bought it in Target while in America as I had just run out of my Napoleon primer and was pretty disappointed when I found out it was a pink-orange colour, I try to keep my skin looking as cool toned as I can. Luckily it doesn't affect your tone too much and it does the job okay but its not anything spectacular, I'd say you could find a better primer that is also as affordable, maybe try the ELF primer.

It gives a smooth matte finish but is ineffective with pore coverage, I'm lucky to have decent skin, so if you find that an average primer won't cut it with your skin type, I say steer clear of this one, try the ELF primer or even shell out a bit more and get prep and prime. This seems like a 'bottom of my make-up draw' product when I get around to buying another primer.

Tips: Try MAC prep and prime, ELF primer, Napoleon Auto-Pilot instead.
