Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer Review

I bought this quickly as it was the first I saw on the shelf and the price was good too. It has an odd but not horrible smell to it and is quick thick. It absorbs quickly which is good. I don’t wear make up often so was just wanting something to smooth my skins appearance and it surprisingly did just that. I have used it under foundation once and it seemed to hold well. I think if you are after a cheap primer to even skin texture this is a good product.

This primer is slightly above average overall! Firstly, it has a slight orange tinge to it, which is not best if you are fair - it can show under your foundation a bit. It does do a good job at smoothing out your skin and providing a nice clean canvas for putting your makeup onto. It is really affordable which is great if you are on a budget. However, there are many many better primers out there! The packaging is lovely

I brought this when I was a ran out of primer and just needed a cheap one in the mean time. It did the job in terms of making foundation apply smoother. I was very surprised when opening it, that it is an orange/salmon colour and leaves a slight tint to your face. When you are quite fair skinned like me it looks obvious. I then had to try mask the tint with my foundation. Overall the colour is what puts in down so I will not be repurchasing.

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 ....

When I recently bought a new Rimmel foundation, I wanted to have a good base to apply the foundation to. I like the fact that it promises to fix and perfect my skin in prep for foundation. The tube it comes in is quite pleasing to my eye because of the purple but otherwise it's pretty standard.

It has a screw cap and you squeeze (gently) to get the product out. The primer is white/cream in colour and is very thick which makes it perfect for a primer. It has no real in your face fragrance which I love because I can't stand too many scents around my face area. The formula is quite creamy and glides on like silk. It definitely gives a good base for my foundation which is what I am after.

See it all makes my heart fluffy up to there. What I found that even after using translucent powder to help with the stay power my makeup melted off with 3 hours. I wasn't doing anything strenuous, just working from my desk. Usually my foundation alone with the powder lasts no problem but with this it just kind of wore away. Admittedly I ate lunch but that never warrants it coming off that much.

I tried it for a whole two weeks with the same result. Upon using a different primer in the same brand it seemed to stay for much longer. I can only put it down to the primer because it was only when I used that, that it happened. I prefer the other primer to this one, so for that it gets a thumb down!

I was looking for another primer to use and came across this one, I was so excited to try it because I love the Rimmel products. It glides on very smooth, it has a mousse texture to it and a browny orange colour to it. Once its rubbed into your skin the colour fades and it leaves a smooth finish to your skin.

I found using a small amount of product and applying it to small areas worked a lot better than using a larger amount and applying it to your face because if you don't rub it in properly the primer leaves a powdery finish to all the parts you didn't rub in properly.

It made my foundation last a little longer compared to just wearing foundation. I have only recently used up all the primer but wont be purchasing it again.

I had never used a primer before until purchasing the Lime Crime eyeshadow helper, now that is a winner and I was totally convinced that primer is amazing and that I needed a full face version. This product is not it.

I like Rimmel, I do, normally they're products are spot on for me but I did find this to be lacking. It felt amazing at first, smoothed on really nicely, felt light and refreshing as I let it dry, smelt pretty good for a primer, I was convinced! Until a few hours later at work. I am a receptionist in a small beauty therapy clinic and it get's pretty hot sometimes. I may as well have not been wearing a primer for all the good that this little pot did me. While I don' expect a primer to be a life saving remedy. The Lime Crime version across my cheeks and nose worked a treat. This was definitely dissapointing.

This primer does do what it states and provides a blank canvas for makeup application but it is too orange, sometimes the orange shows through your foundation which is not ideal.

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.

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.
