Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review

I found this far to shimmery for me, it offered a medium coverage and looked nice but as soon as it caught the light I'd cringe as it looked like I'd been sprinkled with glitter. Saying that my younger sister loves it and it looks great on her, I do see shimmer on her but I'm guessing since she's younger she can pull it off! It's a real shame as I love the matching concealer.

I'm not currently using this foundation but I was until had a dry spell in Kmart and the Warehouse and ran out of my color! I will be purchasing this again for sure!! It is as many people say, a little shimmery and I can understand how some people who prefer a more matte finish wouldn't be too thrilled with it. I love a dewy finish and this foundation knocks it on the head! It's a medium coverage foundation but I found it can be easy to build up. It also photographs really well, brings a lot of beautiful light to your features.

I have found though, that in winter when I am at my palest the lightest color is a little orange for me and requires a LOT of blending. It really does make you look like you're glowing though and than gets a 5/5 from me!

I have the soft beige colour and use this as my everyday foundation, whether it's at school or going out and I love it! It has great coverage and evens out your skin tone, and I will definitely be buying it again. It's also SPF15 and smells amazing!

I was really impressed with the colour I purchased, it was almost perfect! Unfortunately every time I wore it my skin just looked like an oil slick had hit it. It's quite a thick product which was good for coverage but I just couldn't get over the shiny finish. Can't imagine it would be buildable either, although I didn't give it a go.

I have been using this foundation for over a year and do not think I could live without it! It does definitely have a bit of shimmer which is noticeable mostly in bright light. Because of this, matte foundation lovers may not like this! The shimmer definitely helps you look 'more awake' and it has a good light-medium coverage and does not feel thick on your face. I also found the colour range really good - I am able to find a colour that matches me both in summer and in winter! The best thing is that this foundation definitely won't break the bank and is great quality if you are looking for a low-end foundation :)

I love this foundation. For a drugstore price it offers great coverage, lovely finish, nice texture and a glowy dewy look which I really love. Smells fresh too. The shimmer is there but isn't too much - probably notice it more in summer with the sun, but I don't mind that. Easy to apply - the pump allows you to apply less than a full pump unlike other brands where the pump is so stiff you end up getting a full pump whether you like it or not. Makeup in general does not last well on my skin, but with primer this will last a full 8 hour work day.

I have quite dry skin and found that this foundation gave me a luminous glow that I can not achieve with out copious amounts of highlighter. I think the coverage is great and the ability to build this from a medium coverage to a fuller one is also really helpful. The shade selection is great and i have had no problem with flash back due to the added SPF in the product.

This was the first ever foundation I had ever tried due to recommendations from a friend who was in beauty school and I must say, I was not left disappointed. It gave my skin some glow with the very tiny tiny specs of sparkle. I have dry skin and I was worried that my skin would react to this but it didn't. The consistency is light, coverage is buildable without looking cakey. Love this foundation

I loved this foundation, was very brightening and did make my skin look healthier and more glowy. I found applying this with a stippling brush gave me the best finish as it was a bit more full coverage than if I applied it with a flat top brush or a buffing brush. Did not feel heavy at all, but did take a while to set on the skin so I felt I had to set it with a powder otherwise it would move around because it was so lightweight. I didn't really notice any sparkle or pieces of glitter but it did make my skin luminous so I did like that. This would probably have better staying power on drier skin because when I was using this my skin was quite oily so it didn't work as well, but now I have gone back to using it occasionally and my skin is more normal now, it is working a lot better.

This was the first liquid foundation I tried, and it was pretty good. Application was smooth and easy and it didn't weigh down my skin- it was pretty light. I would definitely use it again. Only thing is that, there is a bit of shimmer in it- which is great if you like that sort of thing, but not so great if ya don't.
