What does the promo say?--
Look perfect whatever face your wearing with Rimmel face products. A natural, flawless finish can be yours with formulas that fit your individual needs. So natural you won't know where makeup finishes and skin begins. Rimmel - the London Look.
-- Smell --
This foundation stinks, at first I quiet took to the scent, but I began to hate it.

-- Texture --
I applied a small amount of the foundation to my finger tip the liquid foundation to me felt more like a creamy thick foundation.
-- Packaging--
I really disliked the packaging as soon as I laid eyes on it, but I didn't let it get the better of me and I still purchased the product... I wish I didn't after the results.
The packaging is very cheap but you can't really expect anything better for a 6quid foundation.

--Application--
Apply foundation to a foundation sponge and then apply directly to your face. This is not as easy as it sounds as it's easy to apply unevenly, particularly around the eyes, and the mouth area (I've seen a lot of people with very patchy make-up; don't be one of them!) Make sure you check your face for any patches before going outside!
When I applied the foundation even though it gave my skin a very greasy look, it also dried it out, even when applying moisturiser before.

--Appearance--
I hated the way my skin looked, I have never used such an awful foundation in my life, and it really didn't compliment my skin.
My skin looked very greasy even though it isn't usually and also it was very glittery not the best look when trying to go for a more natural look in the day time.
This foundation made my pores more noticeable and also larger.
I used the lightest shade of this foundation but it was still way too dark even though I'm naturally tanned...
--Coverage--
This foundation was supposed to be medium coverage, but I think it was lighter as it didn't seem to be a good cover up.
I think this foundation is more like a tinted moisturiser than anything.


--Value for money--
Despite everything I have said about the foundation this is probley what you would expect for £6 so its value for money in that respect.
The foundation has vitamin C and E which are both beneficial to the skin and its appearance (Even though it didn't seem to work very well with my skin

Summary: Awful dont buy it!
