Great coverage

Easy to apply and looks really natural without any caking. Lasts all day and does not move. Best coverage is with a brush to give a more airbrushed look,

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

This foundation is lightweight, as it claims to be, and easy to blend into the skin, providing a medium coverage that can easily be built up. The finish isn't overly glowy but it's certainly not matte, although after wearing for some time it starts to get shiny.

It lasts well and stays put when putting other products over the top of it. If you're prone to creasing around the nose, mouth etc I'd recommend setting it with a powder to avoid this. I found it does tend to oxidise.

Good for those with dry skin as it has a hydrating feel to it and doesn't cling to dry patches. Gives a fresh look!

The down side to this foundation is the shade range. To get the right undertone I have to get a shade that only works on me if I'm tanned. If it weren't for this I'd use it regularly.

My Go To!

Love love love this foundation! My HG. Blends effortlessly into my skin and I get compliments every time I wear it. Medium to light coverage. It makes my skin look awake even if I've had next to no sleep, and the added SPF is a bonus. Does have a shimmer through it and leaves your skin dewy, so if you prefer matte this isn't for you!

Wow

I don't know how this foundation does it but it makes me feel so much more awake after applying this. This foundation is amazing as it hydrates your skin as well as making it look super healthy. This product is perfect for a natural look and lasts all day long. Also this smells so good and hydrates your skin all day long. Doesn't leave your skin looking blotchy or cakey but gives slightly more coverage than a BB cream.

Tips: If you step into the sun while wearing this and you'll sparkle.

I'll finish the bottle, but won't repurchase!

I picked up the lightest shade of this (100) and its a lot darker than i expected. I mix it with Rimmel Lasting Perfection in 010 to get a decent colour for my skin now, just so i can use it up and not waste the product. Mixing it with the other foundation also dulls down the 'dewy' effect, which needs to be done as wearing this foundation alone for more than 2-3 hours just turns my face into an oily looking mess!

Better for dry-normal skin

I have oily skin and unfortunately this foundation didn't work for me. I really liked the smell of this and it helped to wake you up like it said it would. I found it also had good coverage and the shimmer is just right. It makes your skin look glowy without it being too much.

However, this made my face oilier after 2 hours. My face was like an oil slick and it wouldn't last long on my skin either. I wanted to like it but my skin disagreed.

I gave it to my sister instead who has dry-normal skin and she really liked it. I do like the concealer of this range but this foundation wasn't for me.

Tips: Not for oily skin types.

Perfect for my skin

I find this a really good coverage for my skin. I feel as if you need to have somewhat dry skin to use this product and I really enjoy the shimmer that is has in it. It's a buildable foundation and I found that most brushes are able to apply this product nicely though you do have to apply more or less depending on the brush you use.

Not for the oily

This foundation was my first trip down the liquid foundation route. It gives great, medium coverage and certainly gives you an awake look, however, there is something in this that, if you're oily, makes it look worse. I ended up having trouble getting this to stay in place - it was travelling on my face! I imagine if you have tired/dry skin, this would be a foundation to use.

I did my application with a stippling brush and found that was the way to get the best finish from this foundation.

Wakes Me Up

I found about this product when watching Zoella on Youtube. Being a viewer I had to have it! I asked for it for my 18th birthday actually and Mum got it for me. Unfortunately it was to dark for my winter skin so I made it work but eventually bought one as close to my skin tone as possible.

This product is super affordable for what it is. Farmers are always well stocked with this product as well as Kmart. A down side is they don't carry to many colours and they can be quite orange on some skin tones. I didn't have this problem though since both of them matched my skin tone when pale/tanned.

It comes in sturdy glass tube with a orange shimmery lid. Because it's glass it's see through which is super handy when trying to colour match to the right one since you can see the product instead of trying to guess. It also has a pump so you don't waste much product.

I would say this is a light to medium coverage which is perfect for the days your doing errands and want a no make up make up look. I don't typically wear this out to special occasions etc but if I'm popping out this is definitely the one I pick up. My favourite bit is the shimmer in it that makes you look super awake and bright so is also good for the nights you haven't had much sleep! Also don't be intimidated by the shimmer, it's a lot finer than you would think and it definitely does not light your face up like a disco ball or anything.

I find the foundation doesn't last all day but does last a few hours set with powder, which is fine. As I said it's usually what I'd wear to run errands so the last-ability isn't a huge issue for me. I really do love this foundation and is definitely a staple in my beauty collection.
