Rimmel Free Your Skin

Rimmel London have just launched a new collection of products called Free Your Skin which consists of a new range of foundation and concealer. They claim to be long-wearing and lightweight, with breathable skin technology that moisturises for up to 25 hours.



The foundation is called Lasting Finish Breathable Foundation*, it comes in 17 shades from light ivory to dark. It says that it's light to medium coverage but when I have been using it I've found it more towards the light side, though I'm sure you could build it up but I don't tend to go for very high coverage products. I also tried applying it in various ways; from on top of moisturiser, to on top of primer, to bare skin and I found it did seem to apply best to clean dry skin as it is quite a watery formula. I also tried various ways of applying it and I found that between using my hands, Beauty Blender and a flat top foundation blending brush, I found the brush gave the best results. The applicator in the bottle is like an enlarged doe foot applicator which is a nice way to apply it directly to your face. With all this being said it is a very comfortable formula on my skin but I did find for me it oxidised and went fairly orangey though it may be different for people with different skin tones. For the price of under £10 I would definitely say to try it.



I've also been trying out the Lasting Finish Breathable Concealer; it has a sponge applicator at the top which personally I find is very hard so I just dot it onto my under-eyes with the sponge and blend out with my fingers. This is a nice concealer but I would say it is fairly light coverage so if you're wanting something to conceal all sins this won't be for you. It is a comfortable formula and I find this doesn't oxidise as much as the foundation did.

I've put some pictures in with all these on my skin with just a finish touch of the Rimmel Kate contour palette that I received as well and the Rimmel Wonder'Fully Real Mascara (See my Wing the Look post for more). I loved the highlighter from this palette so I may reach for this more!
