Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation Review

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 :)

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation is party-proof, transfer-proof and leaves you with flawless looking skin around the clock (or so they claim on their website).

I bought Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation in Soft Beige (#200). The foundation comes in a clear 30ml glass bottle with a red plastic lid and red plastic pump dispenser. The dispenser is really easy to use, it eliminates waste and the clear glass bottle means that you can see if you're starting to run low.

Unfortunately, the foundation is definitely not transfer-proof (a small amount still rubs off) but it does give me instant, perfect medium to full coverage that leaves me with flawless looking skin and that feels comfortable.

I prefer to use a flat topped foundation brush to almost buff the foundation onto my skin, using a small circular motion. I find that this gives me an almost airbrushed look and minimises the appearance of large pores around my nose and on my cheeks.

The best thing about this foundation is that it doesn't settle into fine lines, doesn't look caked on when built up to full coverage or when powder is applied on top and its affordable. It really does look and feel like a high end foundation but is affordable enough to be replaced as often as needed.

Would I repurchase this foundation? Definitely. I prefer Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation to Revlon Colorstay 24hr foundation! Would I recommend it? Yes. I have naturally oily skin and it works wonderfully for me.

I have been searching for so long for a cheap foundation I can chuck on just to go down to the supermarket or walk my dog wearing (as I don't want to waste my $80 foundation on things like that), but I've never found one that's pale enough for me. Especially in New Zealand where we only get the midtones of each foundation range I was so shocked to find this in Farmers in a shade that worked for me. It gives me wonderful full coverage from two thin layers (about 2 or 2.5 pumps). It stays on really well when I set with translucent powder and doesn't look cakey on me. For me the palest shade is a little too pink toned as my skin is very neutral, which is a little annoying, but for the price I can let it pass. I love this foundation for it's price as it stays on all day, doesn't look cakey, gives full coverage, has pale shades, has a super handy pump, and did I mention it's cheap?

This make up is very cheap however the quality is great. This stacks up with my Mac liquid make up and for that price this is a good make up to wear every day. No oily stick feeling it drys of perfect. I have this in my main makeup case and wear during the day as it seams stay on until the the ay. Great coverage to

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.
