Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation Review

I bought this product online, it was two for the price of one. (Cant remember where, it was about 6 months ago). I got my usual colour with every other brand and the colour that is one lighter than my usual colour. My usual colour did seem a bit dark so i am saving that for when my face is a bit more tan for summer to use. The colour which is lighter fits my skin perfectly! I love this product!!!! It covers well, and it hardly has a shiny finish. It comes off nicely after cleaning my face, unlike other foundations that seem to get stuck in my pores. Would definitely recommend this product to friends!

I started using this foundation as I wanted an everyday foundation that would last through my whole uni day. Im not sure whether this would actually last the whole 25 hours but it lasts almost flawlessly for 9 hours. I have dry skin and I haven't found this to be drying, and covers acne really well. The foundation is also quite buildable- I use one layer and then usually another around my nose area. However I did not like using the lasting finish primer with this foundation- it dried my face out and the smell of the primer is very off putting.

Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation is a great foundation for everyday wear, especially for those on a budget because it's so cheap.

I use it as a day-to-day foundation, and I find it effective as lasting the day, but does not last 25hours. It starts to melt off after about 8 hours. I use the shade 100 ivory. I have oily skin, so I team it with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in translucent.

The plastic bottle is simple (but I believe it now comes in a upstanding glass bottle??), but because it's an upside down style bottle the product can pour out quite quickly. I've also found that sometimes it leaks into the cap while it is closed.

It has a moderately thick consistency. I use a stippling face brush to apply it, giving me a medium to full coverage. This foundation has quite a florally scent, which I don't really appreciate, but it does not deter me from using it. It does not cause my skin to breakout, and my skin is prone to breakouts.

I would recommend this foundation to others as an everyday foundation, but I do not believe that this is a good foundation for a night out as the lasting power is not amazing, and not an entirely full coverage. I would purchase it again if I was to run out, but I wouldn't rush as I have plenty of other foundations to use in the meantime.

This is my go to every day foundation. It gives a good medium coverage without feeling heavy on my skin. Unlike other foundation, after removing my makeup, my skin does not feel dry. It does not cause breakouts too. Beautiful dewy finish, I think the finish of this foundation is semi-matte as it does not make my skin look shiny. The consistency is a bit thin, runny, easy to blend. I normally apply this foundation onto my skin using my fingers or my beauty blender. The longevity is incredible, it lasts all day long. It is a good every foundation for work, not too dry, not too oily. Really impressed and would repurchase!

I purchased this foundation a while back when I was first fake tanning to play around with shades as you can pick this up really cheap normally at The Warehouse. Rimmel has always been a good drugstore brand in NZ as the prices are more resonable than its counterpart 'drugstore' brands. I find this foundation is great for dry skin and love using it in winter months, it can also withstand the heat in summer so a good all year rounder! The forumla is easy to blend and gives a great coverage I find that it is on par with Revlon Colourstay. (Full Coverage) The shade range is lovely an quite a few are yellow based! Which can be a rare find in drugstore products as I find they are often very pink! I got this in a different packaging compared to the picture, it was a glass bottle with a pump! Yay for foundations with pumps! Easy to apply!

I brought this because I had been told its an decent day to day wearing foundation, and I have to agree and so does my skin. I apply a light layer with a flat top brush and top with a mineral power and it lasts the day. I am not convinced it would last 25 hours, but i dont think i will be wearing my makeup that long to test it. Will repurchase as my skin has not broken out using this foundation which I am really happy about

I bought this yesterday as a spur of the moment thing. I had run out of my Loreal CC Lumi Magique and wanted something that I could use for work without using up my precious Estee Lauder Double Wear light, but would give me similar coverage and longevity.

Last night, I wore this on my face when I got home. It survived cooking over a gas hob with steam, and it survived an hour of lifting weights at the gym. Not sure if it would last 25 hours, but I've got confidence in it that it would last a full work day at a minimum. I even had some on the back of my hand in the afternoon, did some dishes and it was still there. EDIT: 12 hours later, still looks good!

Coverage is build-able. I wouldn't want to go too full coverage with this as it could look cakey, but its definitely giving the coverage I want and it feels so light weight on the skin. Doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation at all. Application is easy - I used my fingers and it just glided onto my skin. It wasn't sticky. I got the shade 102 Light Nude and it's the best skin match colour I've come across so far since moving from mineral powder to liquid foundations. Its actually an exact match. Perfect match. Even makes my EL Double Wear Light in 2.0 look a bit dark now!

On the tricky topic of flashback with foundations with SPF in them, I've had some bad experiences so I put myself through the horror of taking a cellphone selfie, with flash, to test this and powdered down with Stay Matte, I had zero flashback. Happy days!

Also, the price. It's now $22.95 from Farmers, but for a workday foundation, I'm really happy with that.

I remember using this a few years ago and having no luck with it but after seeing a lot of rave reviews I decided to try it again. I picked it up for $22 in the shade ivory which is a great match for me.

It comes in a sturdy 30ml glass bottle with a great pump. It is super easy to dispense the right amount of product.  It is quite a runny consistency, you really only need a small amount as a little spreads so well. I like to apply with my fingers.

I have dry skin so I make sure to prep my skin well, it glides on so smoothly. Hides my redness and the best part is it doesn't cake! I have so much trouble with cakey foundations! It is lightweight on my skin and looks natural and even. It does not give me breakouts, I really love the look of this. You can definitely build it up to full coverage. It feels a bit sticky for a while so I like to pop a bit of powder on as I hate that feeling. It does dry eventually however, I am just impatient.

I am so happy I tried this again. I prefer to use this at night when I go out as I use the Rimmel perfect match foundation during the day as it is light to medium coverage which is what I prefer for daytime.  This is a great affordable foundation which I would gladly repurchase.

This is great everyday foundation, I wear it to work and when running errands. Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin (yay!)

It feels light on my skin and gives medium coverage, I do top it up in the afternoon just to keep it even and fresh. It seems to last a long time when applied with beauty blender and can be built up if required.

It is a staple in my wee make up kit! It is also easily accessible at the supermarket :)
