Ok, so I tried Rimmel Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer. Let’s be honest… I was looking for an inexpensive alternative to Smashbox. The Rimmel foundation primer claimed that it was a skin perfecting primer that smoothes your skin and evens out your complexion while also prolonging the wear of your foundation. So did it stand up to test? No, it didn’t!
First, it went on smooth but it looked orange. Have you ever seen someone with a bad makeup application and you could tell where the foundation began and ended? O the horror. That’s how I looked, like a bright orange mess. The primer has this really peachy/pink underbase that did not work well with my skin tone. So I looked totally orange, lol. The worst part is when I actually touched my face, the foundation felt like it was slipping off.
The great part is that Rimmel’s customer service was awesome. I actually emailed them about my dissatisfaction and they did refund my purchase amount. For now I plan on plan on shelling out extra dollars for my beloved Smashbox. Below are the ingredients and options for trying out oher Rimmel products that I adore (This foundation primer just wasn’t for me). What was your experience? Do you love it or was it a dud for you too? -Amy@BeautyKick
