So I've been meaning to write this post for a while now. When it comes to foundations, I've never really found one that I've stuck to, like mascaras I tend to buy a new one each time. In the back of my mind I have that thought that there's always something better on the market, and as I don't buy a new foundation very often, I like to shop around when I do.
I know there's been a lot of hype surrounding the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, but for me, I found that their colour range wasn't light enough for my super fair skin. This is where Match Perfection comes into its own. It does exactly what it says, allows you to achieve match perfection! (You can see it's been well loved from the worn bottle).
The packaging is impressive for a highstreet brand, and I love that it has a pump *claps*. It's a steal at only £6.99 a bottle. Currently on offer at Superdrug for £4.99 (link).
It has a light scent, which is actually really nice. The consistency provides a medium coverage, and it gives a dewy radiant appearance. When applied, it does take a while to set on the skin, but I find this makes it easier to blend and I simply use a dusting of Rimmel's Stay Matte powder on my forehead, nose and chin to finish. I'm really enjoying using this as part of my make up routine, and would definitely repurchase.
Has any one tried the Match Perfection concealer?

i reccently bought this but i havent tried it yet, i have the concealer too, its quite nice but its more of a highlighting product really, its not got great coverage either.
ReplyDeleteSince you like the foundation so much im going to get it out of my drawer and use it ! thanks for the review x
Oh yes, give it a go :) Let me know what you think! Thanks for the info on the concealer - think I need something a little more heavy duty! xo
Deletewow £4.99!! I tend to stick to Mac foundation, but for that price it's worth a try! Thanks for the review xx
ReplyDeleteI have this as well as the concealer and they're both great! The concealer has a medium coverage too and I find it highlights too which is also good :)

The concealer that goes with this is my all time favourite under eye concealer. It's seriously amazing and a tube lasts forever. I'm cruious to try this foundation, thanks for the review.

Sounds like the maybelline 'fit me' one that I just purchased. Good price too! These high street brands are really knocking the higher end brands out the window ;) - great review, hun!

I haven't tried any of their foundations. Maybe I should! I love the photo of you and your husband at the side. Gorgeous! :)x
ReplyDeleteI really like the Wake Me Up foundation, but haven't tried any of there other ones.
ReplyDeleteI prefer a pump applicator too! So much easier and less messy :)
I find Rimmel a bit hit and miss, but this sounds like a hit! I need to check it out

Hey Darlin! Great blog!!! I have oily skin. Do you think this foundation would work for me? Following you back :)
ReplyDeleteNot a huge fan of the concealer, I'm afraid. It has a nice consistency, like a primer, but not really much coverage.
ReplyDelete& I nominated you for the Liebster award, you should do it! :)

This is the only foundation i have ever used and i love it, i am reluctant to try any other foundations as this works really well for me. I love how it's not too much coverage and how it feels light on the skin. Great review! x
