Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation promises an anti-fatigue effect plus a radiant glow, I'm not usually a fan of Rimmel products, they remind me of my very early teens and before, when I first started paying attention to cosmetics, and they were the cheap and cheerful answer.
When I started reading about this foundation, I decided to give it a go, as I needed a cheap, everyday foundation.
I chose the shade 103 'True Ivory', which is a pretty decent match for me, but I think I could also use the lighter shade. It is a medium consistency, and if applied heavily provides full coverage, but can also be worn quite sheer, which I really like. It does have shimmer in it, and when I was looking at a swatch on the back of my hand under fluorescent lights, it really does sparkle, but I can honestly say it is not noticeable when applied.
It's a good everyday foundation, which applies well and stays put for a good 7 hours if set with a powder, however it does highlight any dryness, so be aware when purchasing.
Really want to try this but I'm quite relectant since every review seems to mention the shimmers.. I've got quite large pores on my nose and I think it'll exaggerate them :/ x

I'd say go and have a play with it in store, but they're really not very noticeable when on the face so you should be ok! x
DeleteI can totally relate to those "early teens" Rimmel phase. It was always my run to hehe. I actually really like this foundation though, I love the shimmer in it. I find it gives a really natural dewy finish. I got it in 200 Beige for myself & a few other colours for my kit :)

ReplyDeletehi there! yes i did post it on thursday (i think it was thursday anyway) :-) i did it recorded so if it doesn't arrive today or tomorrow, i will track it. thanks again! xx
ReplyDeleteI've heard mainly positive reviews about this foundation. I have only tried one Rimmel foundation before and I thought it was a pretty good product. I would probably go out and buy a bottle if I didn't need to use up some of my existing foundations first.
ReplyDeleteI've been tempted to try this! Although my skin's a little dry atm so maybe it wouldn't suit me :( x
