As someone who values a flawless finish and durability in their makeup, this foundation proved to be a worthy addition to my beauty routine. When applied on top of moisturized and primed skin, the foundation glided on smoothly, evenly, and non-patchy. The texture was lightweight, and it effortlessly blended into my skin, providing a seamless and natural look and giving me a healthy, radiant glow that lasted throughout the day.
This foundation held up remarkably well in the humidity as well, only fading slightly in areas where I tend to sweat more. It didn't settle into fine lines or wear off unevenly, providing consistent coverage that stayed intact for hours.
I like Rimmels Foundations and have used them before in the past, but to be honest, I didn't really find this was any better than the 25 hr lasting foundation. I got the soft beige, which was maybe slightly the wrong colour but wore it to to work for the week with some powder etc. I didn't find it anymore hydrating with the Hyaluronic Acid in it and I still think the Loreal is better. By the end of the day it had worn off my chin so definitely not 35hr staying power. Great that it had SPF 20 in it. I felt it didn't last the distance for me unfortunately. Not sure I would purchase again.
Tips: I found it applied better for me with a damp sponge rather than a brush
