Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 5/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $5.00 - $8.00

Description: Creates a perfect canvas for foundation application; smooths and evens out complexion; prolongs the wear of foundation; minimizes pores

Directions: Apply before face makeup

Review:

Pros

• Smooths and preps the face for foundation
• has a more moisturizing texture; rather than oily or silicone-based
• good amount of product

Cons

• looks orange on fair skin (only comes in one shade)
• does not keep foundation on all day
• does not keep the face matte

Overall, I think this foundation may be good for darker skin tones with normal to dry skin, but for my fair and oily skin tone it did not work.
