Rimmel Recover Foundation

Rimmel Recover Foundation Finally at the grand old age of 24 and having been using make up I suppose for nearly 10 years now I have found the perfect foundation for not only my skin type but also for durability, cost and sheer brilliance of use. Rimmel Recover Foundation has been out now for probably about a year and I have used nothing since I tried it when it was new out onto the shop floor. The adverts were what first attracted me to buy this as Kate Moss who advertises it surely needs this sort of foundation which is said to help you recover from whatever stress you have been putting your face through. This ...  Read the complete review

I didn't like this foundation very much. I have tried and tested many foundations over the years (I make myself sound old!) and this hasn't been one that stood out for me I'm afraid. I've also tried Rimmels Cool Matte foundation and wasn't impressed. This foundation is designed to illuminate your skin, but i felt it just looked very cakey... after applying a small amount.

It is also a very cheap foundation and can be bought in shops such as Superdrug, Boots and Asda. The cost per bottle is roughly ...  Read the complete review

First Impression Rimmel’s advertising campaign for this product was pretty much pure genius. Shortly after Kate Moss’s infamous cocaine fuelled fall from grace Rimmel released adverts of her, a now certified hard partier, looking completely radiant after she steps out of a taxi. Now this made me a little sceptical of the product, image is all very well but often products are sold in a glamorous way to hide a mediocre bottle of gunk. However my interest in this product was triggered by viewing its cameo in Boot’s Get Gorgeous DVD. The makeup artist Lisa Eldridge, highly credible as celebrity make-up artist and creative director for No7) highly endorsed the ...  Read the complete review

Rimmel is such a well established brand but I had never used their foundations until I saw an advert for this one. I have quite rosy cheeks and terrible dark circles under my eyes and most foundations don't give me the coverage I need. However solid foundation leave my skin looking flaky and dry. What attracted me to this product is that it is designed for days when your skin needs a bit of extra help: it has light reflecting particles which are supposed to make the skin look brighter. Since I always need a bit of extra help I thought I'd try it. Application This foundation goes on quite smoothly although there is a slightly gritty feel ...  Read the complete review
