Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review

I was really impressed with the colour I purchased, it was almost perfect! Unfortunately every time I wore it my skin just looked like an oil slick had hit it. It's quite a thick product which was good for coverage but I just couldn't get over the shiny finish. Can't imagine it would be buildable either, although I didn't give it a go.

I found this far to shimmery for me, it offered a medium coverage and looked nice but as soon as it caught the light I'd cringe as it looked like I'd been sprinkled with glitter. Saying that my younger sister loves it and it looks great on her, I do see shimmer on her but I'm guessing since she's younger she can pull it off! It's a real shame as I love the matching concealer.

Not a fan of this foundation, they don't have many colours in the range so I found it hard to match one to my skin. The formula isn't very nice, it's supposed to be a dewy finish, but it just looks rather oily to me.

i bought this for 10 dollars from kmart sale. was not too happy. i have better. the glowy-ness is absolutely great but as i have acne i need a more coverage. it does seem to be buildable, but i don't really want to have to pour out large quantities of this foundation just cause it's sheer. thank god only 10 dollars or i'd be pissed, especially since i have to use like 1/10 of the bottle just to get my face fully covered!

This foundation was my first trip down the liquid foundation route. It gives great, medium coverage and certainly gives you an awake look, however, there is something in this that, if you're oily, makes it look worse. I ended up having trouble getting this to stay in place - it was travelling on my face! I imagine if you have tired/dry skin, this would be a foundation to use.

I did my application with a stippling brush and found that was the way to get the best finish from this foundation.

I really do like the texture of this foundation and found it easy to apply and it blends well. Inside it looked great, but I noticed as soon as I stepped into sunlight I was very shimmery looking - felt a bit like Edward from twilight haha! It definitely has a very noticeable shimmer through it. I think it would probably be great for winter time for an extra glow to your skin, but for me it isn't great summer time wear as I feel that the shimmer is a bit much for me.

I have oily skin and unfortunately this foundation didn't work for me. I really liked the smell of this and it helped to wake you up like it said it would. I found it also had good coverage and the shimmer is just right. It makes your skin look glowy without it being too much.

However, this made my face oilier after 2 hours. My face was like an oil slick and it wouldn't last long on my skin either. I wanted to like it but my skin disagreed.

I gave it to my sister instead who has dry-normal skin and she really liked it. I do like the concealer of this range but this foundation wasn't for me.

This foundation is lightweight, as it claims to be, and easy to blend into the skin, providing a medium coverage that can easily be built up. The finish isn't overly glowy but it's certainly not matte, although after wearing for some time it starts to get shiny.

It lasts well and stays put when putting other products over the top of it. If you're prone to creasing around the nose, mouth etc I'd recommend setting it with a powder to avoid this. I found it does tend to oxidise.

Good for those with dry skin as it has a hydrating feel to it and doesn't cling to dry patches. Gives a fresh look!

The down side to this foundation is the shade range. To get the right undertone I have to get a shade that only works on me if I'm tanned. If it weren't for this I'd use it regularly.
