Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation Review

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.

This product is absolutely awesome! It stays on all day and looks flawless. Its cheap and really easy to apply. I always add a powder over top just to make sure it stay on all day, but this product does a great job of what it says on the packaging! I don't find this oily, especially with powder overtop it stays very matte. I would defiantly use this again and recommend it to friends!

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 brought this foundation as I had run out and wanted to replace my then current foundation with something that had more lasting power. I picked this one because it was 25% off a The Warehouse so I ended up getting it for around $15.

Unlike the above picture, mine came in a glass pump bottle with a red lid, which is a much better design. The lid is strong and the pump is good.

In terms of the foundation itself, I've really enjoyed using it. It doesn't last 25 hours, but it does usually last about 10 hours which is the most needed hours. The coverage is a mid to full coverage. The consistancy of the product is fairly standard liquid foundation consistancy; neither thick nor thin.

Another thing that stood out about this product is that it had paler shades, which is something that I find hard to get in some brands.

I would repurchase this product and the postive results I've got from it have made me want to buy more from the Rimmel London range :)

My bottle was different to this picture, glass with a pump and red lid. This is my new favorite go to foundation!! Haven't tried it for 25 hours but it's lasted all day chasing kids then a gym session so it's got some power there! I love that it comes in a lighter shade selection, it's easy to apply with the pump being an added bonus for less mess hehe It was med coverage on me and I do use a primer and finish with a pressed powder if I want it to last all day or night! It is a bit sticky when applying so be patient when blending and wait for it to dry before adding anything else. New favorite favorite thing x

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 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!

This is a really good medium to full coverage foundation! I have a lot of redness and with a bit of concealer on top, the redness is basically gone. I also have quite dry, sensitive skin and I found that this foundation works for me and did not cause any inflammation or irritation. Sometimes the foundation did go a bit dry and flaky and show my dry skin, however it was better than previous foundations I have used. The bottle is reasonably sturdy and easy to grip. The product is easy to get out, the pump makes it super easy and the lid isn’t on too tightly (I do not have the packaging pictured, mine is a glass bottle with a red lid and a red pump). The foundation is smooth and feels quite lightweight on my skin and the colour I have matches my skin perfectly. The smell is okay, it is quite neutral which I like. I usually squeeze a blob into the back of my hand and use my Real Techniques expert face brush to apply. The product is really easy to blend into my skin, however sometimes I find that it can get cakey around my under eye area (but could be due to my application or pores). While this is a good foundation and I use it frequently, I don’t think it quite lasts 25 hours! It is pretty good at lasting the throughout the entire day (it looks very similar to when I applied it after a full day at work), however on a night out when I come home I often find that it has worn off. However, I also find that during really hot weather this foundation doesn’t last all that well, it can go a bit patchy and fade away. It is quite non-transferable- it doesn’t get onto my clothing or anything which I really like! Overall, this is definitely one of the better foundations I have used and is so great for its price!

I purchased this foundation from Kmart a while back, I wanted a foundation that was going to last all day but not feel heavy on my face. Usually I opt for something thicker but decided that I would try out the light weight lasting finish foundation.

I am so pleased I brought this! The packaging is really simply and you can see the product inside of the tube, for the price you are paying you get a decent amount and can squeeze every little bit out!

I find that the formula smells really nice, almost like a face cream and it has a smooth velvet like consistency, I used a foundation brush to apply it all over my face and it evenly spread.. Every nook and cranny was filled!

I wanted to have a glow to my face so I didn't put any powder over it, I felt like it made me glow all day and remained the same even when I got home! I am actually quite pleased with this foundation, I will be buying it again!
