Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation Review

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 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!

While it doesn't compare to my more expensive favourites, for an affordable product this is pretty decent. The coverage is one of the best in it's price range (i usually use 2 thin layers for the fullest coverage). It lasts well; i still look okay when i get home and the end of the day, perhaps a little oily in the t-zone, but a more mattifying primer might be able to help with that. I do wish they had an ever so slightly lighter shade. I can get away with it if i blend thoroughly down my neck, but a perfect match would obviously be preferable.

I’m normally a MAC, Estée Lauder or Stila foundation lover but after reading reviews I thought this Rimmel foundation sounded great and comparable to double wear?

The convenience of picking this up from the supermarket is great. And it’s affordable. Yes please.

The bottle of this is pretty simple with its red colourway. The range of colours is good also. I do like a long staying foundation!

I found the coverage of this really good and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin like some foundations. It covered my imperfections and gave me to really nice flawless look. It lasts well also, which is what you want in summer!

Overall I’m impressed with this foundation. It doesn’t take the holy grail spot of my favourites, but it is a great affordable option that I will have as a back up.

This is a solid foundation great coverage but you want to make sure you get a good even layer on first application it just doesn't build very nicely and it can get cracked but applied right its beautiful
