Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation SPF 20 Reviews

I'll start with this: I love Rimmel products. From nail-polishes (of which I own dozens upon dozens), pencils mascaras, blushes etc all the way through to foundations.

I also love Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr foundation in 100 Ivory. I even have an allergy to fragrance in foundations but I happily put up with it with the L.F foundation.

I have opened my heart and face to a more dewy look, so I thought the 'Wake Me Up Foundation' would be right up my alley!

It has been a while since I hated a product this much and how disappointed I was in it. From the look, the feel, the colour to the smell. Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr foundation in True Ivory worked perfectly before (and the Ivory) so let's go with True Ivory again.

I look like I am wearing a terrible fake tan. It was orange. I was really surprised at how orange it was and it looked even worse as time passed. There certainly wasn't any 'healthy glow', it is just completely flat on my skin. It just looks 'wrong', especially for a shade of Ivory!

The coverage cannot really be called 'medium'. Especially when put next to the Lasting Finish 25hr Nude, which is truly a medium coverage (probably a couple of notches up from being medium). I found the W.M.U just sort of slid around. Whereas its counterpart just glides on perfectly whether applying it with fingers or with a sponge, the application is easy, the results flawless. With the W.M.U I had to go back and 'patch' bits up to get any sort of even coverage to speak of.

The powerfully strong pong of this foundation (no I am not being a drama queen) actually made me slightly nauseous!! After 20 minutes I -had- to wash it off! maybe Even then the scent just lingered. The scent wasn't just off-putting and over-powering, it also gave me a red rash! The Lasting Foundation has never given me a rash before, that's what sort of whollop this one packs!

This is a massive no for me.

This is marvellous for a stressed lifestyle on the go with disabled son takes care of tired features it truely does wake the face up.
No sweat marks which is a God send.
Stays put hassle free removal I just love it.
This is sometimes all I need at bit of blush and lippy and mascara and your good to go for a busy day.
Give it a try.

If you fit the few colours that are around for the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, this is a really great option for a dewy base. I really like the smooth and easy to apply formula. Two layers provide a solid medium coverage and it smells really fresh and gives me this really nice glow. Unfortunately the colours just don't work for me. I tried True Nude and Natural Biege. True Nude was too light and Natural Biege turned really orange on my skin. I even tried mixing the two but the colours just don't cover enough of the spectrum. Shame cos I really liked the formula and it had good staying power.

Great product. Looks like skin on application, and handles products being blended on top well.

Can be used for a natural makeup look, being applied to only the centre of the face, or a glam look, applied all over.

Doesn't cling to my dry patches.

Very natural finish with medium coverage, can be mattified with a setting/foundation powder.

Unfortunately, the shade range is extremely limited, and does not go very light, or very dark. I am the lightest shade (I'm a Fenty 140).

Does have a very slight shimmer effect, so if you really hate that you probably won't like it, but I don't notice it personally.

I have been using this foundation for over two years now and am still happy. In fact this is my go to, please don’t ever discontinue, holy grail foundation.

Firstly it doesn’t come in a huge range of shades but that’s okay for me as I have found my match which is True Ivory. Some foundations have the right shade but have slightly orange or even pink undertones and I think I’m more of a yellow. The 30ml glass bottle is a compact size with a pump dispenser. It has no obvious offensive smell. The above summary says SPF20 but mine clearly says SPF15.

It does not feel heavy or oily. It can be applied lightly or a with a slightly heavier hand. (But I wouldn’t go to heavy otherwise it will look caked on and defeat the purpose). I do use my fingers to apply but I have read that a beauty blender gives even better results.

This product does have a “shimmer” to it. I wouldn’t call it glitter. When I hear glitter I think of the stuff used in craft projects and it’s not like that. I have dull skin so I think it brightens up my skin a little. I usually follow up with pressed powder in translucent.

The only thing with this foundation is that it is not long lasting. I have tried to find something similar but so far nothing has come even close to giving me the radiant look that this foundation does.

It is soooo affordable and usually on sale at supermarkets or pharmacies. I usually buy it when it’s 50% off.

Being very pale in colour I find it hard to buy just any foundation and in the past I have had to spend a fortune just to get the right colour. This product has a light range that has allowed me to use a product that is cheap but also looks great on my skin. It sits well on the skin and lasts, but also gives a really nice coverage without looking to heavy.

I normally go for a natural makeup look, and I'm a bit picky when it comes to choosing foundations because I have combination skin. But from the first application of this foundation, I have been nothing but impressed! Especially at how I am able to apply a light layer of foundation and it last all day, without my skin looking oily. As well how easy it was to application of the product was very impressive.

This was my first Rimmel foundation and it get the thumbs up from me. It is a smooth, light liquid foundation with a dewey finish. Plus it contains an SPF 20 which is a must to protect my skin while I'm out and about! The coverage is light/medium and is buildable. This foundation is great for my normal/combination skin and doesn't make me break out. Great foundation for everyday wear and the price is right!

I really like the way this product applies. Its really light and smooth and looks natural. I also love how its got an illuminating touch to it so it gives you a glowly/highlighted finish. But the good things stop there for me.. It's labelled as a 'medium coverage' foundation but it really is very light coverage.. I feel like my bb cream has better coverage. I also find that t doesnt last well. It wears off really fast on me.
