really impressed

this is a FULL coverage foundation. it blends very well and really hides redness! it covered my red acne scars very well. but beware, you must apply it in sections of your face because this dries very qickly, which is actually a nice feature. this foundation is really affordable and it did not slide off my face at the end of the day. it had the exact same amount of coverage after a 16 hour day!

Never buying Rimmel brand ever again....

I used it once and by the end of the day I had zits all over my face. It has an oily sheen after I put it on and even though it's noncomedegenic I feel like it still clogs my pores. Feels heavy on my face too.....ugh!!!

Can compare to....

I bought this instead of my regular Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer. The Smashbox product was leaving my skin with an "oil slick" instead of a glow. I have been using this and am very happy. It matches my skin, which is very hard since I have yellow undertones. However, I would recommend that you use this with some sort of primer. It can rub off on some of your clothes if you don't. ...read moreAs for applying it, I have used both a foundation brush and also a sponge. The sponge gave it a more airbrushed look while the brush gave it better coverage.

Very Impressed

I bought this after reading throuigh the reviews here and I am happy I did. Not only was I able to find a color that matches my very fair skin but it also didn't irritate my very sensitive skin. It is a full coverage foundation however you can thin it out by mixing it with your mositurizer. I apply the product with a damp sponge so I had no issues with it drying to quickly for me to blend it. ...read moreIt did stay on for quite a few hours and I only had to apply powder, to reduce shine. For the price, this a great product!

New favorite

This does everything I want and expect out of a foundation. It is medium/full coverage that lasts until I take it off, doesn't rub off on clothes and things, and works well with my dry skin (doesn't accentuate particularly dry or flaky spots). I also have not had any issues with it clogging pores, causing breakouts, or irritating my sensitive skin.

Worth it!

You can pay $65 for an equally lightweight, full coverage foundation or you can save your money and opt for Rimmel.

Great Everyday Foundation

I just purchased this foundation the other day and I'm already hooked! In a foundation I look for full coverage, easy application, and long wear throughout the day. So far this foundation has passed the test! Application is very easy and smooth (I use a foundation brush), coverage is full enough to cover blemishes and redness while still looking somewhat natural, and it truly lasts all day. I can'...read moret attest to it lasting 25 hours, but it definitely lasts 12+ through warm days and rain! The foundation also has sunscreen, which is a must for me. It also has a light floral scent to it, which was surprising, but is actually very pleasant as it prevents the foundation from smelling chemical-y as some others do. All around a great foundation!

Love it!

I would say...application wise is smooth...coverage of all the black spots on my cheeks and forehead...75% covered...a bit of concealer does a great job...if the concealer is good, that is...I used this minus moisturiser which apparently functions on the face a lot better, I say...it does not melt my face despite that hours go by...I think this is moisturising enough for acne prone skin people...t...read morehough mine is more of a combo...at times oily and at times...very much normal...this is clearly a no regret product...:) just, after applying this...set it with powder...it'll look great...though...I like to reset my face with powder after 3-4 hours to be certain that I have a good hold...:3

Good, but it could be better

This has excellent coverage, but as a fair-skinned lady I'd like it to come in lighter shades. All of the shades available are all too dark, forcing me to have to combine it with another lighter foundation (which I don't really mind all that much, but others probably would). Another thing that I do not like very much is how oily this product is, with me having combination skin this becomes a probl...read moreem. However, like I previously mentioned, I do combine this with another foundation and it seems to mostly cancel it out. Overall, I do feel like this product lasts all day and covers very well. If it came in lighter shades and was not as oily, this would be one of my favorite foundations. If you do not have fair skin and have drier, less sensitive skin, this would be an excellent product for you.

amazing!

I have oily skin, huge pores, and acne prone skin that is always on the verge of breaking out. In addition, my face also gets red when it's hot out. I only use this when it's hot because I feel like my pores are sweating itself out, and this foundation just holds it all in. It looks a little cakey, but it's matte, lasts all day, and looks amazing from day to night.
