Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation Review

I’m normally a MAC, Estée Lauder or Stila foundation lover but after reading reviews I thought this Rimmel foundation sounded great and comparable to double wear?

The convenience of picking this up from the supermarket is great. And it’s affordable. Yes please.

The bottle of this is pretty simple with its red colourway. The range of colours is good also. I do like a long staying foundation!

I found the coverage of this really good and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin like some foundations. It covered my imperfections and gave me to really nice flawless look. It lasts well also, which is what you want in summer!

Overall I’m impressed with this foundation. It doesn’t take the holy grail spot of my favourites, but it is a great affordable option that I will have as a back up.

This is a solid foundation great coverage but you want to make sure you get a good even layer on first application it just doesn't build very nicely and it can get cracked but applied right its beautiful

I was gifted this foundation by my sister who had used it a few times but the colour wasn't right. This foundation is one of the best! It is nice and light, not oily at all, and I suffer oily skin especially in my T-Zone. Its long lasting and gives a lovely flawless matte finish. Im a sales rep in and out of the office and my car all day, I love that I can apply this foundation in the morning and know by the end of the day I will still be feeling well covered, to the point where I an even wear it to the gym and not have it running down my face. Very easy application with a brush or sponge. Colour match is great and a little goes along way.

Finding a good foundation is very hard to find these days.I have normal to combination skin and my skin doesnt take well to liquid foundation which makes it very costly for me as most places dont have testers when your looking for foundations. Visiting my local Kmart and not being able to tell if it was the right shade because they have them all packaged was like roulette, if I pick the wrong colour I would be doomed! My fate awaits me at home.

The formula is creamy but runny, it covers very well, the coverage is around medium and its easy to build. A $2 coin is enough product to lightly cover my face, x2 that amount and its full coverage. After you apply the foundation it feels sticky which took a while to get used to until it dries, once dried it looks and feels airbrushed.

I dont notice any patchiness until around the 8th hour of wearing this foundation, you can touch up the foundation and it blends in without being noticed. Ive nearly finished my tube of foundation and I plan to buy more.

This is a great and inexpensive foundation, for $20.50 it is affordable and excellent quality, I highly recommend this foundation, its another great product from Rimmel.

I have this in the shade NUDE and love it, I find it to be med-full coverage and is builable without caking.. yay It didnt slide abit around y nose but most products do, a little powder helped fix it and make it less noticeable. I got this new off a facebook page for $8 and was well worth is. Had a nice finish and stayed on very well. The packaging is nothing fancy but it does the job.

I have recently bought a few Rimmel products and am really impressed! Picked this up as I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Revlon's Colourstay foundation.

I really believe this is a great dupe, consistency is similar as is lasting power.

I found it can appear a bit cakey when first applied so I played around with a couple of methods til I found what worked for me.

Packaging (unlike the above pic :P) is a glass bottle with a pump and red lid. I find one and a half pumps to be plenty!

Only gripe with this is the shade selection was slim, there were only 4 at my local Farmers.

I bought this yesterday as a spur of the moment thing. I had run out of my Loreal CC Lumi Magique and wanted something that I could use for work without using up my precious Estee Lauder Double Wear light, but would give me similar coverage and longevity.

Last night, I wore this on my face when I got home. It survived cooking over a gas hob with steam, and it survived an hour of lifting weights at the gym. Not sure if it would last 25 hours, but I've got confidence in it that it would last a full work day at a minimum. I even had some on the back of my hand in the afternoon, did some dishes and it was still there. EDIT: 12 hours later, still looks good!

Coverage is build-able. I wouldn't want to go too full coverage with this as it could look cakey, but its definitely giving the coverage I want and it feels so light weight on the skin. Doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation at all. Application is easy - I used my fingers and it just glided onto my skin. It wasn't sticky. I got the shade 102 Light Nude and it's the best skin match colour I've come across so far since moving from mineral powder to liquid foundations. Its actually an exact match. Perfect match. Even makes my EL Double Wear Light in 2.0 look a bit dark now!

On the tricky topic of flashback with foundations with SPF in them, I've had some bad experiences so I put myself through the horror of taking a cellphone selfie, with flash, to test this and powdered down with Stay Matte, I had zero flashback. Happy days!

Also, the price. It's now $22.95 from Farmers, but for a workday foundation, I'm really happy with that.

This is a really good medium to full coverage foundation! I have a lot of redness and with a bit of concealer on top, the redness is basically gone. I also have quite dry, sensitive skin and I found that this foundation works for me and did not cause any inflammation or irritation. Sometimes the foundation did go a bit dry and flaky and show my dry skin, however it was better than previous foundations I have used. The bottle is reasonably sturdy and easy to grip. The product is easy to get out, the pump makes it super easy and the lid isn’t on too tightly (I do not have the packaging pictured, mine is a glass bottle with a red lid and a red pump). The foundation is smooth and feels quite lightweight on my skin and the colour I have matches my skin perfectly. The smell is okay, it is quite neutral which I like. I usually squeeze a blob into the back of my hand and use my Real Techniques expert face brush to apply. The product is really easy to blend into my skin, however sometimes I find that it can get cakey around my under eye area (but could be due to my application or pores). While this is a good foundation and I use it frequently, I don’t think it quite lasts 25 hours! It is pretty good at lasting the throughout the entire day (it looks very similar to when I applied it after a full day at work), however on a night out when I come home I often find that it has worn off. However, I also find that during really hot weather this foundation doesn’t last all that well, it can go a bit patchy and fade away. It is quite non-transferable- it doesn’t get onto my clothing or anything which I really like! Overall, this is definitely one of the better foundations I have used and is so great for its price!
