Roadtest: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review

Also in my last haul I bought Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation- mainly after seeing Tanya from Pixi2woo on youtube wearing it, and by the sound of it.
As I am still trying to use up my old stuff I've been testing this out here and there so it wont be a lifetime before I'm actually wearing it daily. I'm sorry for my pics being taken in different lighting as well as it will change the colouring.
 Packaging: This is in an attractive glass bottle with a pump top which will always be a +++ in my books. It is very easy to control the amount that comes out.
Product: Has a thin(ish) & spreadable consistency, and has light- medium coverage which is buildable. As the name & the aim suggests it has a dewy finish.
Claims: I have to agree with what it says on the bottle. I like how it makes my skin look and how it feels on the skin, particularly because it adds moisture onto my skin. It may not be good for someone with oily skin, however, because that is the last thing they need lol.

Roadtest
Day 1
 Le Naked face. Eughh.
The first time I tried this out I thought I would go no primer or concealer. I didn't see if it lasted a long time as I wouldn't normally wear it in this way. My colour matching isn't too bad, it's always better to be darker than lighter anyway. And if it was any more noticeable I would mix it with a lighter colour.
Anyway- I like the way it feels on my skin. It would feel yucky & greasy if you have oily skin, however... although if you powder over the top it would help to last.

Day 2- one side with concealer underneath, the other is foundation only.

I don't know if you can tell any different but it looks pretty nice to me. Except the undereye area could do with a little more lovin'- I don't intentionally apply fdtn there.

Day 3
 (I got a little too happy with the concealer underneath my eyes lol) I didn't get to give it a chance to dry but it would be best to apply even a tiny bit of setting powder over the top no matter your skin type. I applied a thin layer all over and then a tiny bit extra where I needed it, so I didn't need to apply a second layer of concealer.
It has a really nice natural look, definitely not cakey at all. Of course that's up to how many layers you apply lol.

Mid Day ~4 hours wear.

Not as fresh looking, but still not bad.

& Lastly ~9 hours later. My foundation is still there! Although I look a little greasy, but a slight touch up of powder and I'm good to go.

Overall I do like this foundation, I love the finish and it is a nice wake up foundation for your skin. I would recommend if you're on the normal/ dry side but also to wear a primer & powder as well.
Thanks for reading!

  1. I love this foundation, even though I'm more on the oiler side. I feel as though a good primer/powder does the trick and the foundation smells amazing!
