Advantages: Great for skin going from oily to dry

Disadvantages: none

After several weeks of looking around for a foundation suitable for my skin tone, I decide to try Rimmel Renew and Lift Foundation. The critieria for my selection is that the foundation must not be of matt quality as my skin is not as oily as before, it must not look heavy upon application and it should spread evenly and easily on the skin. Finally, the foundation must have the shade that I need.

I bought the Rimmel Renew and Lift foundation after trying out a few make up foundation in Superdrug. Most foundations are either too matt or pricey and there aren't many foundations with the right shade for my skin tone which falls between beige and honey. I was told that the best way to find the suitable shade is by spreading a little foundation on the back of our hand, below the thumb area. It seems that the skin tone there is closest to our facial skin colour.

Rimmel renew and lift foundation is available in 7 shades and they are; Ivory, Natural Beige, Porcelain, True Ivory, Classic Beige and Warm Honey. The foundation contains peptides and ceramides which are known to help lift and regenerate skin. There is a sunscreen factor of SPF 15 and several other natural minerals that will protect the skin.

The 30ml foundation comes in a glass bottle and the liquid foundation dispense easily from a pump nozzle. I bought the Classic beige shade which is closest to my skin tone. Each pump releases a small drop of liquid which is ideal as there will not be any wastage. The foundation is creamy and it is not too thick. It spread smoothly and easily on the face and it's great as a concealer for blemishes too.

The Rimmel Renew and Lift foundation is available in Boots, Superdrug and some supermarkets. It cost at £7.82 at Superdrug but the price does differ at different shops.

The foundation is great for skin that is going from oily to dry. It does not have the dryness of a matt foundation and yet it is does not make my face look shining and oily.

Glad to have found this foundation.

Summary: The good foundation for people wtih in their 30s and 40s.
