Rimmel wake me up foundation review

True Ivory

If you've noticed I absolutely love the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer so I decided to purchase the matching foundation to use. I bought the product in True Ivory and it matches my skin perfectly. The foundation retails at

Formula 4/5

The formula is quite thick when it first pumps out, but it blends really well. I use a flat top foundation brush to apply my foundation and I pump out a bit of the foundation onto a clean surface so I can dab my brush in it. When applied it doesn't feel heavy on the face. 

Coverage 3/5

The first layer has a medium to low coverage as it covers up any imperfections on my skin but it doesn't cover red spots or dark circles that well. The foundation is buildable meaning that it can cover these up a little bit more but I still use the concealer. I use True Ivory on my face and Ivory under my eyes as it's a shade lighter to brighten that area up. 

Lasting 3/5
I usually apply my makeup at about 7am after moisturising my skin, I very rarely use primer and the foundation makes my skin look very oily about 4pm. I have normal to dry skin and this happens to me, making me dislike it a lot. 

So overall this is one of the best foundations I have used. I have normal — dry skin so if you have this type of skin I would definitely recommend it! 

Thanks for reading & merry Christmas :)
