I've got through many tubes of Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer since I last talked about it. I can confidently say I've found a primer that will stay in my make-up bag for a long time yet. You can read my review here. Though with that being said, I've realised I need to start trying other products too, since I'm one for sticking to the same old item until the day it's suddenly discontinued! So when I was browsing stores a few days ago and saw Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer on offer (here), I thought I should give it a chance, since I love their other one so much.
The Lasting Finish Primer is a creamy lotion type primer. It's awfully thick considering it's meant to smooth over your skin. I've found you need to use a lot more of the primer too, in order to cover your full face, because it is so easily absorbed into your skin. It's really quite hydrating on my forever dry skin. If you're like me, and get horrible flaky skin, it does an excellent job at moisturising to give you an easier canvas.
As for extending the wear of foundation by 8 hours? I haven't found it's made any difference to my make-up. If you're looking for a cheap end basic primer, if you have fairly dry skin or if you're already using long wear foundation, I would definitely recommend you at least try this primer as an alternative to the one you're already using. Otherwise, I would give this one a miss. I think the Fix & Perfect primer is a lot better suited to me, but I tried!
So yes or no?
If you're looking for a good all-round primer for the same price, I would really recommend the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer instead. It does the job 100 times better!
Such a shame it wasn't super impressive!
