Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' Foundation Review

I am a big fan of Rimmel London make up, as some may know from my previous blog posts. One of my favourite products is a new discovery for me and it is their 'Wake Me Up' foundation. I don't know how I never heard of this until recently, but it is so much better than the foundation I was using before. I have only ever really used mousse foundations, so to now use a liquid foundation makes such a big difference. I don't actually know if other people can see a difference, but it just feels so much lighter on my skin and I loveeee it! You can see the product on Rimmel's website and you can buy it at Boots or Superdrug or any drugstore that holds Rimmel's products.
This foundation comes in 7 shades I believe and you can check those out on the websites, because they all have different ones available to buy. I have the colour Ivory, number 100, which is one of the lighter colours and I think it is a pretty good match to my skin. It claims to be 'Rimmel's first liquid foundation that instantly reawakens skin with a healthy, radiant glow' and I have to admit that I have never used any of their foundations before, but it definitely makes my skin look so much more healthy than before and doesn't look cakey at all. I completely agree that it gives a more flawless, natural look and because of the anti-fatigue effect it appears more glowy. Some people have an issue with the fact that this foundation seems to have sparkly parts in it, but I personally love this as my skin is naturally quite dull. And oh my goodness, this actually smells amazing and I can't even describe what it smells like, but it is quite fresh and fruity.
I would say that my skin type is normal to combination, which means my t-zone is the part of my face which can look it's worst on bad days. This foundation leaves my skin feeling soft and it feels more like putting moisturiser on my face rather than a foundation, because it blends so well and so evenly. it literally feels so comfortable to wear and would recommend so much more than a mousse foundation. I would say that this foundation can work for any skin type, so there is no excuse not to own it.
This foundation has SPF15 in it's formula which is great for the Spring/Summer months. Now I do live in England which means the weather is so unpredictable, but it is better to have some protection on my face rather than using nothing at all. This also means that if I need sun cream on my face, I can use less because of this Foundations formula.
My skin is actually really sensitive and I am always so sceptical about trying new products. I have had rashes on my eyelids before, which is so painful, but since I have started using this product my skin looks so much better and I have had less breakouts. Me and my younger sister both have freckles on our cheeks, and personally this covers them up so much better than anything I have used before. If anyone knows what my skin looks like without make up (scary territory *gasp face*), this foundation literally hides most of my imperfections and the redness, so if anyone has any redness this is so amazing at covering it.
I persuaded my younger sister to get this foundation and since she has used it she said that she has got many compliments on how her skin looks. It is not a heavy coverage, but is heavy enough for my liking. This is perfect for my skin as I have toned down my make up a lot since Christmas.
This foundation will look at it's best when you use a buffing brush to blend it in with and it will make your skin feel and look so much more refreshed. I have probably said before that I use my Sigma dupe buffing brush to blend mine it and it works a treat.
You can't miss this on the shelf because the packaging is so cute and vibrant with a bright orange lid and it looks awesome. It has got a pump which makes life so much easier. With it being in glass, it makes it seem like a more high end, fancy foundation, which is great for me because I certainly cannot afford to splash out on NARS or M.A.C or any high end product.
I just love this foundation so much and would literally recommend it to everyone and anyone! For only £8.99 you cannot go wrong as it is such a brilliant product and is an amazing drugstore foundation! I cannot fault this foundation at all!
