What I think of: Rimmel London

Today I want to do an overview of Rimmel London makeup, from the small range that I personally own. My friend loves Rimmel Makeup and convinced me to try some of, which I did and I'm glad I did.

Stay matte primer: This is the best primer I have ever tried, it minimises pores, mattifies and keeps makeup on for longer. And it's £5.99.

Match perfection foundation: It's ok and you can probably find a good shade, I don't know how dark it gets (probably not very) but if you are so pale you can't find a good match anywhere else, just try 'light porcelain'. It has an oily texture so not ideal if you have oily skin.

Wake me up concealer: It is a good, brightening concealer with a thin consistency. However, the palest shade is a light tan colour, so I have to mix it to get a good colour.

Stay matte powder: The classic powder that everyone raves about, I think that it's just ok. It's chalky, doesn't last long and the packaging is horrific but you get 14g for £3.99 so it's not too bad of a deal.

Natural bronzer: I have two shades; 22 sun bronze and 25 sun glow. As you will have guessed, 22 is lighter than 25. I use 22 as a contour shade, it isn't too warm toned but it isn't cooled toned either. I think it works well for a summery bronzy contour look. I use 25 as just a regular bronzer but I have to use a very light hand.

Eye shadow, 5 colour: 022 Brixton brown. It is a very wearable palette, with some nude shades and a shimmery red, which is a nice twist. I like this palette but the shadows do crease and wear off a bit throughout the day.

Scandal eyes Rockin curves mascara: It is an ok mascara, it has a weird shaped wand. I go through phases with this, I either love it or hate it, but I haven't used it much recently so it is time to get rid of it, it was ok but there are much better ones at the drugstore.

Lasting finish lipstick, 058 drop of sherry: It is a really  nice red-pink lipstick which glides on really smoothly. However, as this is advertised as a 'lasting finish lipstick' it fades pretty quickly. It doesn't last long at all and if I wear it I know I will definitely need to top it up multiple times.
