Let’s be honest, putting on my makeup each morning is one of the highlights of my busy day. It’s a

 few minutes each day where it’s all about me. I like to take this time to relax and enjoy the process of

pampering, thinking about the day ahead, getting my thoughts together as I wake up. It’s really quite

therapeutic for me.

Rimmel London’s classic Wake Me Up foundation has recently undergone a makeover and I have

found myself reaching for it over all of my other foundations every single day over the past month

or so that I have just about finished them up!

(Watch my full face get ready with me using these products in my video here!)

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation – Fine shimmer particles visible through the bottle!

(Purrdy!)

I will begin with the foundation which contains Vitamin C, SPF 20 as well as some hella beautiful

radiance pearls mixed inside it! It comes in six shade varieties – (Ivory, True Ivory, Soft Beige,

Classic Beige, True Nude and Natural Beige), an easy to use pump style clear glass bottle and

 promises a radiant glow to the skin making it appear more awake and anti-fatigued.

The formula is a good consistency being not too thick now runny. It just sits on the back of my hand

when I pump it out and doesn’t drip or begin running down my arm before I can get a makeup brush

onto it! It blends easily and smooth on my skin. It covers my pores, however not my larger ones and

you can still see a little acne scaring after application. So I would say this foundation gives about a

medium coverage. It does look super flattering, natural and dewy though and does an impressive job

at lasting all day! Honestly, this is one of the best foundations I have found in terms of being long

lasting. It stays put amazingly well even on my longer 7am-5pm work days.

Rimmel London Wake Me up Foundation & Concealer Swatched!

(Left – Concealer / Right – Foundation)

The contrast between the swatches of the above foundation and concealer is appearing much more

dramatic than it actually is in real life. My skin is not fair, but still quite light. What you can see in

the image with the shimmer in it is much more it’s true to life shade. But anyway, let’s get talking

about the new Wake Me Up Concealer!

Available in just three shades – Ivory, Classic Beige and Soft Beige. I would like to see a wider

variety of shades available, however the lightest Ivory shade does get the job done for me.

The consistency is only just slightly thicker than the foundation and conceals any redness, veins,

small blemishes and pores well. It is smooth and blends with ease. I have enjoyed using this duo

together as they seem to compliment each other well with their fatigue concealing and illuminating

glow particles.
