Since my
skin has improved and blemishes have been magiced away by the miraculous
Alpha-h Liquid Gold, I have had the confidence to wear light weight
foundations. I have always loved these foundations as they provide sheer natural
looking coverage, whilst concealing any flaws!
I have found
this product to be incredibly similar to YSL touché éclat foundation, in that
is light weight, sheer, and luminous giving a healthy youthful look. The
advantage of the Rimmel wake me up foundation is that it is less than half the
price of YSL. YAY!
The product
has quirky packaging with an orange lid that is rather striking – you
definitely won’t lose this item in your make up collection! The product doesn’t
have a particularly offensive scent and the best part – It is a foundation with
a pump! Which means a clean, easy mess free application of the product with
minimal waste as one pump seems to cover my entire face.
The
foundation contains shimmer, lots and lots of shimmer which in the bottle
looked a little scary, particularly for my oily skin. However when I tried this
it gave my skin a subtle, natural radiant glow, and looks stunning in natural
light. I have found that when I have had photographs wearing this foundation
the SPF and shimmer causes a slight flashback look, but for everyday I think it
gives your skin a little pick me up look!
The only
disadvantage to this product is that if you needed full coverage this would not
be the foundation for you. A generous amount of the product would be required
and the effect would not be as good as the Revlon Colourstay foundation which
is my Holy Grail foundation. But I do think this product is known to give sheer
coverage and is not aimed for a full coverage look.
Broadly
speaking this foundation is a great little buy at £8.99. It contains SPF and is
almost always on offer at Boots, and is good completion for high end sheer
foundations such as the YSL Touch Elcat, and Channel Vitalumiere Aqua. Perhaps
it is not quite as refined as the high end products, but it is an excellent
runner up!
We use the
shade 103 True Ivory, which is perfect for those of you between fair and medium
skin.
If you are
about in town this weekend and are looking for a new foundation, why not give
this one a go!
