rimmel wake me up foundation

I fancied a change from my trusty maybelline stay matte foundation, although it gives me the best coverage and looks natural on my skin I though that for everyday wear it was a bit too much. I guess that's why I decided to try the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, this foundation isn't new it's been around for ages really but here's my thoughts.

The packaging itself is a solid glass bottle with rimmel embossed down the side, that holds 30ml of product, the standard amount. The pump itself is easy to use and lets you just get the right amount of product out, and the lid firmly attaches so it's will be no issue when travelling and on go. The product is described as a foundation that visibly reawakens and illuminates the skin with a radiant glow and a flawless, natural looking finish. Instant ant-fatigue effect. With pepticies and a Vitamin Moisturising Complex. As it is a liquid I find it's easiest to apply it with my stippling brush and blend it into the skin, this means that the coverage is build-able and I usually settle for a light coverage. As it is meant to awaken skin it contains glittery particles (explaining why the orange lid sparkles) which I'm not too sure how I feel about because I'm worried that if I didn't use powder on top then my face would be actually glowing. I'd say with a primer underneath and powder on top this would last all day, but only 5-6 hours without.

Overall, this foundation feels moisturising on my skin which is especially nice in the cold winter weather and I would recommend it if you're looking for something with a lighter coverage rather than a full coverage to use on good skin days.
