Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 200 Soft Beige £8.99
When testing this foundation on my hand in store I was really unsure of which shade to take. In the end I went for Soft Beige and worried about it being on the dark side. When I applied this to my whole face I found that it blends in really well and is a lovely match for my skin tone, although the swatch shows it rather dark.
This foundation is unlike any others I have tried in that it has a dewy finish. The product aims to give your skin a radiant glow to disguise signs of tiredness. Personally I don't often have skin that needs wakening up but I was keen to try something new. The foundation contains shimmer pieces which are lovely and not overpowering at all. In fact, on the face they are barely visible unless in the light. I use two full pumps of this, adding it slowly and building it up. The foundation applies well and has great coverage. I use a little powder over the top which slightly takes away the dewy look but helps to keep my makeup in place.The product has a lovely smell to it and feels very smooth on the skin.
I use a primer with this product but even with a base I find this foundation doesn't last the day. When I go to remove my makeup in the evening I find that barely any colour is showing on my cleansing pads. Although it is not long wearing this doesn't put me off using it as sometimes, like for work, I am not requiring a long lasting foundation or high coverage.
My search for a new foundation is not over but this is a lovely product which I will definitely get use out of, especially for lighter makeup days.
Sounds like a pleasant product and I might give it a go at some point. If you're looking for a budget buy the Bourjois Healthy Mix is excellent and if you feel like a splurge the YSL Serum Foundation is without a doubt the best foundation I've ever used. Xx
