Hi, everyone!

Recently, I have developed this bad habit of visiting Boots pharmacy regularly. Whenever I am in bad mood, I rush towards the makeup section of Boots pharmacy and end up making impulsive purchases which later becomes staple in my collection. On a recent visit, I went to the Rimmel London counter and ended up buying their three mascaras and a primer. Today, I am going to review the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer.

My Experience with Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer:

Packaging: Product comes in a white opaque squeeze tube with red cap. It delivers a drop of product at a time. The tube looks pretty and very cute.

I am a housewife so I don’t wear makeup often. When I do wear it, I do need it to last the whole day as I don’t like touch ups. I always use a primer underneath my base as I have extremely oily and uneven skin due to acne scars, and primers works in a way that imperfections are blurred and acne scars are smoothed.

I came across Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer and it claims to increase the wear time of foundation for up to 8 hours. It’s written on its tube. It also says that its “ultralightweight formula helps to minimize the appearance of pores, and evens skin tone whilst providing endless comfort.”

When I first tried the primer, at the counter, it’s texture was quite thick but it spreads beautifully on the skin making it all smooth and soft to touch. It isn’t lightweight and feels quite greasy when you start massaging it onto your skin, but once blended, it turns dry and gives the soft and matte finish. This primer doesn’t have any noticeable fragrance. It’s basically odourless.

Talking about its efficiency, this primer claims to even out the skin tone. I suffered from a bad bout of acne last year and have a lot of imperfections. While all my imperfections were still visible, the primer made them look a lot softer. This primer creates a nice softened base for my foundation to adhere to. The label claims that the primer “increases foundation wear for up to 8 hours” which, I would have to say, is a pretty true claim. My face was shine free for 7-8 hours after which I had to blot my face. This primer increases the wear time of all my base products and they stay longer and look quite fresh. The best part is that my skin does not break out whenever I use this primer. You require very less of this product, and a little of it goes a long way, which is great.
