Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation
“It's comfortable to wear, without being sticky, and the overall finish is nice - it's not overly dewy or matte but perfectly in-between, giving a more youthful, healthy and radiant glow.” – Evanescencessy. Read more…
Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation
“The formula is spot on - not too thick or runny and the perfect consistency to easily blend in and buff out with a foundation or stippling brush. The smell is really nice and pleasant – fresh and quite fruity – so it doesn't feel like you're applying a layer of paint!” – xochristii98. Read more…
Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation
“In terms of the shine control, I was very surprised with the length of time it took before I had to powder my face. This is the issue I have with most foundations I try - I get shiny within a couple of hours and I have to touch up my foundation. With this foundation, however, it was a good 4-5 hours before I had to touch up my t-zone.” – Belle88. Read more…Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25HR Nude Foundation
“This wondrous foundation has an ever-so-slightly dewy finish. It glides over skin and blends to perfection to create a lovely, natural look that lasts for hours on end.

I have tried the Rimmel BB cream as they were handing out sample tubes by the train station a while back. Medium was too orange for me. :(

This is cool having all the foundations from one brand tested out side by side. Makes it much easier to see which one would suit me.

My favourite is the wake me up foundation. I may be quite a bit more than 18 but it gives my skin a lovely finish. The matching concealer is good too.

I use to wear Rimmel stay matte. It has great coverage and great for oily skin. My skin has been dry lately so I've had to change foundations.

I love the Perfect Match foundation, and the Wake Me Up Foundation has a great formula I just hate the glitter.

Great reviews ladies! I rarely use foundation. I prefer a tinted moisturiser. These do sound good though.

Video won't play for me for some reason :( I love Rimmel's 'wake me up' concealer so would be interested to try the matching foundation to see how it measures up.
