I am always
searching for a good foundation for pale skin and until quite recently
drugstore foundations were a no-go, always too yellow or dark. But since Rimmel
brought out their new shade "Light porcelain" I have been trying out
every kind! My most recent purchase was their Wake Me Up Foundation because I
already have and love their Wake Me Up Concealer. Here are my thoughts…
I have to admit that
I was put off by the bright orange lid. This is probably because being pale I
have a natural dislike of the colour but I got over that pretty quickly. The
pump gives a good amount of product and doesn't squirt it too far either.
The consistency of
the product is lovely and creamy and it blends into your skin really easily.
The colour also blends fantastically well, not too pink or yellow and it
doesn't sit heavily on the skin. It gives a medium coverage but it can be built
up and it gives your skin a natural healthy glow, which is good for people like
me who have dry skin. One thing I would say, is that if you have dry patches it
does sit in them and make them a bit obvious, so make sure you put on plenty of
moisturiser before applying it.
As for it's staying
power I have taken it on a very hilly walk on a sunny day (it is SPF 15, woo
hoo!) and it didn't budge! At the end of the day my skin still felt soft and
had a nice glow to it, without getting oily, and my blush had stayed in place
as well.
Conclusion
Really pleased with
this product! It's fantastic for pale skin in terms of colour and that
all-important SPF and it wears really well as a foundation too. You can
currently pick it up for £8.99 from Boots.
Have you tried this foundation? What is your go-to
drugstore foundation?
Much love,
