Happy Tuesday everyone!
I hope you are having a great start to the week.
Today I am reviewing the new formulation of Rimmel's Match Perfection foundation and Fix & Protect makeup primer.
Scroll down for a review, swatches and before and afters.
Rimmel Fix & Protect Makeup Primer
30ml $13.95
This primer acts as a protective barrier for your skin. It helps shelter skin from pollution, is anti-stress, and is also skin perfecting.I didn't notice a difference in longevity of foundation wear or any minimizing of pores but it does make my skin feel really soft and hydrated and foundation go on smoothly.
It feels really light weight and non greasy and blends into my skin easily. It has an SPF of 25 so you can wear it under foundation or just as a sunscreen.
The consistency is thin and runny and has the standard Rimmel foundation fragrance.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
30ml $18.95
This is the reformulated version on the first Match Perfection foundation which I haven't tried before, but I have really been enjoying this new version.I love the satin finish of the foundation, it isn't too matte or dewy and feels really silky and light on my skin but still has a good medium, buildable coverage which looks really natural.
It has a 24 hour moisture complex which helps keep my dry skin hydrated and doesn't cling to any dry patches and also has SPF 20 which makes it a great day time foundation.
They say it has soft focus powders which help reduce the appearance of imperfections, pores and dark circles.
The packaging is nice and has a pump which is always helpful.
It is a medium consistency and really easy to blend, I use my Models Prefer foundation brush and two pumps of foundation. I mix two shades together at the moment to get the right colour, 100 Ivory and 200 Soft Beige (both of these colours have yellow undertones.) There are 8 colours to choose from in Australia.
It is quite fragranced like Rimmel's other foundations, which I don't mind as it doesn't irritate my skin.
Lastly, I find depending on how humid it is I generally get 6-8 hours wear out of it before it starts to fade in certain places.
Overall I would defiantly recommend the Match Perfection as a great everyday wear foundation.

Before & After
Here are some before & afters of my skin using the primer and foundation. Don't mind my skin, I've been having some breakouts lately :(. The foundation does a good job of covering a lot of the redness.
