Rimmel London Lasting Finish 35 Hour Foundation

I was very excited to try this foundation. I put it to the test for a day of Christmas activities and functions. I was happy with the colour and it applied well with no irritation to my sometimes sensitive skin. It felt lightweight but with good cover. A SPF is important to me so was pleased to see that. Overall it lasted the day well but I wouldn't say it was sleep proof although I do usually try to remove my makeup at night anyway.

Product looks great, very appealing. Not a fan of the smell, it's quite potent but once it is on skin smell disappears. Coverage is great, it is definitely crease-proof, transfer-proof and water-proof. Didn't come off onto my sheets but does come off using a make-up remover cloth.

I still had coverage the next morning, although not full coverage like I had just put it on. It does look natural as long as you choose the right colour. I would definitely buy again.

This product has great application, not too thick but good coverage. It smells wonderful, I might’ve guessed my colour slightly wrong- but that was a me problem. It blended well, and I used it everyday that I had it. I really liked the smell- which is a weird thing to say but sometimes these things on your face are too close to your nose. The pump was good and an appropriate amount comes out. The packing looks just like it did years ago which dates it a little, the price point is good and the colour range large. It stayed on well and didn’t feel sticky - I would buy this again and recommend to my kids (teens) it also didn’t affect my sensitive skin - all round win here

I am using Vanilla shade and find this colour blends into my face perfectly.

I use a primer before applying the foundation with my sponge, the foundation spreads easily and evenly over my face with excellent coverage and finish

I’m not sure that the foundation stays fresh for up to 35 hours, as it is dulling by the end of my day, though this is still a good timeframe!

It’s great to have another layer of SPF - SPF 20.

Unfortunately, I found this foundation magnified my pores so I won’t be using this again. I believe this is more of my skin type than a fault of the product.

I tried the Rimmel London Lasting Finish 35 Hour Foundation. It felt nice on my skin and didn't feel thick. I find getting a good foundation hard, finding one that doesn't make you look like you have too much make up on. It did feel natural on. I would like to trial it a bit longer as I didn't get a chance to try it on a hot day. But at this point I would recommend it.

I had stopped using foundations a few years back as they made my face look oily and cakey, and so had switched over to BB creams. But this foundation is a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t feel heavy on my skin, has a nice texture with a very natural finish. The best part is, this foundation is not oily or cakey. Its very light and blends in well giving an even finish to the skin tone. The infusion of Hyaluronic Acid ensures my skin is hydrated all day. And to top it all, it has SPF so protects my face from the sun. End result, my face looks radiant all day long. Will definitely recommend to everyone.

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.

Rimmel's 35HR Lasting Finish Foundation is a game-changer for those who crave flawlessness all day long. True to its name, this foundation goes the distance, providing impeccable coverage, even after you've slept in it!

The lightweight formula effortlessly glides onto the skin, creating a smooth and natural finish. I found it builable and easy to blend - what more do you want from the application side of things?

The packaging is sleek and practical, nothing to shout about, nothing to hate on.

Shade range looks ok, typical of NZ ranges it doesn't have much choice for darker tones. In fact it's the quite narrow range that led to me not giving this a perfect score.

Lngevity and radiance don't often go hand-in-hand but Rimmel's 35HR Lasting Finish Foundation strikes the perfect balance, offering a reliable and radiant foundation, that will go the distance. It's not that flat matte of the noughties, this is more a light, silky powder finish.

Now will you need 35hours of wear? Would you want to not wash your face for over a day? Probably not, but hey the option is nice to have right? Even this tired old mum might get invited to a non-stop weekend rave again!

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.

The first day I got this foundation I put a swatch on my neck. I went to sleep with it on, showered and it was still on afterwards! Definitely meets its claims of being long wearing, sleep-proof and waterproof. The coverage is buildable, I don't find it to be full-coverage right off the bat, but definitely able to be built up to full coverage. All in all, a good foundation however do take note that it does oxidise so maybe go one shade lighter
