First time Primer user

I had never used a primer before so I was interested to see what all the fuss was about. I used this before applying my concealer and foundation and it made my skin feel smooth, and brighter. My foundation also lasted longer than it normally would have! I usually break out after wearing make-up but my skin has been pretty good since using this product - maybe due to the use of a primer for the first time ever! This product was easy to apply, did not have an offensive smell and came in a compact tube - perfect for travel.

Lasting Radiance Primer

This product im still on the fence about. The first time i tried it on its own to see what it was like but it was to glowy for me to be worn like that as it was a glowy gold colour and im quite fair skinned. Second time i wore it with the radiance foundation and concealer, it looked really good under the foundation and made my skin look really dewy but once the foundation had started coming off during the day.. I had gold patches and it really did not look good mixed with the foundation. The third time i used it more as a highlighter under my foundation, i put it where you would put highlighter on your face and that was probably the way i liked it the most as even when the foundation wore off it just looked like a highlighter and still looked good! It comes out a gold colour and is very moisturizing. This primer i found helped with keeping the foundation on longer. Overall would i go out and buy this? No probably not as I could just use a high lighter instead of a primer but im going to keep using the primer till the end and see if grows on me. Id still recommend it to a friend as it might work for them.

Tips: Put it under your foundation in just the highlight area to see if you like it

Bye bye dark circles!

I really enjoyed using this concealer. I found the colour Ivory actually matched my skin tone and helped cover dark circles and lines. It also blended really well and seemed to instantly erase my problem areas.

Love this primer!

An awesome primer, this one does everything it says it will. It goes on smoothly, smells amazing, and makes skin feel amazing. It's not sticky and doesn't leave a residue - perfect base for underneath makeup.

First primer I've used

I dont have a lot to say about the primer apart from the fact that my makeup lasted longer after using this and I found it went on smoother as opposed to not using the primer. The primer was a little hard to apply but that could be because I'm a rookie and have never used a primer before. I will continue to use though

Rimmel Lasting Radiance Primer

I was expecting the primer to be white (like my last Rimmel primer), so I was surprised to find that it was a creamy yellow/gold colour and also noticeably shimmery. As soon as I thought about it though, it made sense since it is a radiance primer. It was a nice consistency - slightly thinner than other primers I am used to, but not runny.

The scent was quite strong - it reminds me of the Clean and Clear orange 'Morning Burst' cleanser. I quite like it and I think that is to do with the sense of nostalgia it gives, but if you are sensitive to scents it may be too much.

When I first applied it, I could definitely notice hints of shimmer on my face and it seemed to be showing up on some dry patches so I was a bit worried. Then I realised that it was only in my super close up mirror that the shimmer was actually noticeable and really the overall look was just glowy - honestly no one would actually notice the particles of shimmer unless they were extremely close! I would have liked it to be slightly more hydrating though.

Once I added foundation, the shimmer wasn't noticeable at all. It is like adding the foundation tones down the shimmer in the primer but brings out the luminosity overall, which is great and what I assume Rimmel was aiming for.

It is a great base for foundation, and I like that the shimmer is noticeable but not too overwhelming when worn alone. I will definitely continue to use this primer under the foundation from the same range, and I am excited to try it under other foundation formulas too.

Tips: Definitely apply moisturiser underneath.

Nice light primer

I was really excited to try this product as Rimmel is a brand I have liked and used in the past.

My initial impression of the product was that it was light, slightly runny and not greasy to the touch. The main minus was that even though I squeezed the tube gently, alot of product came out.

I squeezed the product onto the back of my hand and patted it onto the larger parts of my face first (cheeks and forehead), before applying the rest to my nose, chin and above my lips. It spread and absorbed easily, leaving no tacky residue.

I took a good look in the mirror after applying it, and although it didn't make my skin super glowy, there was a definite sheen.

As far as primers go, overall I thought this was pretty good, especially given it didn't leave a feel of silicone on my skin. It was nice and light and I would recommend it as a good daytime summer primer. I probably wouldn't use it at night as I need a primer with more staying power. The only real minus was that it was quite runny.

Lasting radiance primer..

First impressions...this primer comes in a pretty standard squeezy tube, easily applies to your fingers or directly on your face.

The texture is a bit thinner than what I usually go for in a primer, I don't feel like it fills in pores or fine lines.

It does apply quite easily and feels hydrating, and it wears well under foundation which I found lasted throughout the day, but it has quite a lot of shimmer in it which isn't necessary for me as I already wear a dewy foundation.

Skin-quenching softness

This lovely lotion-light primer gave me visibly radiant skin. With its powdery floral scent, this illuminating primer has a very highend smell and feel (creamy rather than the usual greasy gel formulas). This is a finer product than you might expect from a primer with such an affordable price-tag (around $17). The plastic tube is utilitarian- like a small sunscreen bottle- so there is zero shelf-appeal. I feel this lets it down as it is a really lovely product. I guess that the sporty orange and white theme gives off an idea of a sunburst and, hence, radiance. It lasted very well- with such a quality formula, it gave great grip to my foundation. I would definitely recommend this primer!

Tips: You could forgo moisturiser before applying this as it is very creamy.

~~Little darling of a primer~~

The Rimmel brand hasn’t really been on my radar, quite embarrassed to say I assumed because of the pricing and packaging it seemed more suited to younger skins. The logo and feel of the brand gave me the impression that it’s aimed at the younger folk. WOW, I was wrong.

The primer is just a darling little product, tube is 30ml. Good value at $16.99 but wouldn’t mind paying a bit more, say $19.99 for a 50ml tube.

Texture is smooth with a light golden tinge. Seriously an amazing product to apply and smooth out, leaves my skin with a flexible and non-tightening clear layer, oddly enough doesn’t inhibit application of foundation.

Products used underneath combine well (no bobbling). Previous primers I have used don’t really work with some products applied first; this one hasn’t given me any trouble. Radiance is the perfect word to use, no oily finish, brightening & hydrating finish. The claims are not at all miss leading.

The packaging seems a bit boring, the white with the orange just not at all eye catching, but really appreciated the same colouring for the Primer, Foundation and Concealer in this Radiance line. Orange indicating products in that colour are “Radiance/Illuminating”.

I am surprised about how many products are available from Rimmel for everything makeup :-) Of course now won't overlook Rimmel as a brand. States online the product has SPF25 UV Shield but doesn’t say on tube at all. Its a preferred ingredient for anything “face” related, I probably wouldn’t have chosen this product over another with SPF if I was shopping.

Fragrance is fresh, bit hard to put my finger on it but reminds me a bit like that first smell of spring, refreshing, light and subtle. I am not at all going to pretend I am a “Primer” expert, I have tried them over the years and been left a little confused and disappointed but honestly can say this Rimmel one has left me surprised. The foundation (which is the Rimmel Radiance Foundation) has been a breeze to apply, especially impressed around the areas where foundation wears off quickly or cracking due to my “smile” lines.

A slightly cooling and refreshing effect, in the nicest way possible. Feel it will be a nice product to use over summer, perhaps with just some BB cream for casual days. Wearing alone is also an option.

Best described as a happy delightful product that I would recommend to others.

18 months from opening, know for sure won’t have this product in 18 months, well not the tube I have today :-)

Tips: Leave to settle for around 1/2hr before applying foundation (not always a viable option for busy persons).
