Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Primer

This is a fantastic understated primer. I use in the morning and my makeup still looks fresh and in place when I come to wash my face at night around 7 or 8pm. It honestly is great and the price is amazing. I think there has been a huge surge in makeup products and people like fancy bottles and buying into items that go 'viral'.. which is not always a good thing. Rimmel brand has been around for a long time and sometimes budget items like this can be amazing. It does not have to be advertised and over-hyped on social media, or come in a fancy bottle, to be a good product and I find most of the new products are pretty basic and/or terrible quality. I will stick to what I know and this is a great product.

This is by far the best primer I have used. I have tried: W7 Prime Magic Face Primer Camera Ready Rimmel Stay Matte Primer Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer (around £12) and even the Benefit Porefessional Primer (which is over £20!) I actually prefer it to the Benefit primer! Primer is supposed to make your make-up go on smoothly, providing a dewy and even finish. It's also supposed to make your make-up last all day. This primer leaves my skin luxuriously soft without feeling greasy or heavy. I personally never have problems with my makeup going patchy and it does last a full 16 hour day for me (although I do use good makeup - i.e. Max Factor Face-finity All Day Flawless foundation and Estee Lauder double wear concealer). I am 21 years of age and have normal, healthy skin. How I use the product: I moisturise my face with Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-ageing moisturiser and wait around 20 seconds before applying a pea-sized amount to my face. I sweep it over the areas that I am going to be applying make-up to (my nose, cheeks, chin and forehead) and wait about 20 seconds before applying my foundation with a foundation brush. This really seems to sink into my skin and provide added moisture, making my skin look dewy and fresh. On days where I have been rushing or daydreaming whilst doing my makeup I have applied my foundation and wondered why my foundation hasn't glided on seamlessly and looks somewhat dull. Then I have realised that I forgot to put this primer on! Primer really does make a difference to your make-up and this one is perfect. It is the right consistency (thick and creamy but not heavy) and has no unpleasant smell and doesn't clog my pores since I rarely ever have spots or blemishes. As previously mentioned, I actually prefer it to the expensive Benefit Porefessional primer which did not leave my skin dewy. I have used this product for years, its perfect for me and I very much doubt I will find a better one :)

It is a great primer. It hydrates and feels great on the skin. Only negative is the strong smell. It makes my eyes water sometimes because of how strong it is. Otherwise, a good and cheap alternative for a primer.

I purchased this Rimmel primer for the first time around a month ago and have been using it ever since. I wasn't sure it was going to work for me as I have sensitive skin that drys out easily, but so far I have been very impressed with this product. Having dry skin means I have tended to avoid foundations day to day and only really wear it on a night out, instead using a tinted BB cream for everyday. I have pretty clear skin so don't need heavy coverage but I am very pale so any dark circles/blemishes tend to stand out and during winter months my skin can look very dull so a light foundation is a godsend. As my skin can dry out easily wearing foundation evend with a good moisturiser can leave me looking a little patchy after a few hours especially if out in the elements, so finding this primer has made all the difference. I now apply my moisturiser and leave for a good 10 min's before applying this primer. I then apply either a BB cream for a light and much more dewy finish than I was previously achieving, or L'Oréal True Match foundation for days when I want a little more coverage. I set with a loose translucent powder and get a lovely health looking glow all day. No dry patches in sight and my skin looks a lot brighter. I've had no issues with sensitivity using this product and it feels like silk when you apply it to your face. For the price it's a brilliant essential for any make up bag.

It's a good primer can be worn with out without makeup, spreads lovely over your skin, it's not a thick texture, only thing I don't like about this primer it's not good for oily skin.

I'm a lady if a certain age who doesn't want botox so this is ideal for me. It's not polyfilla but it does a great seemless job of giving my skin a good base for slapping on some foundation. I think it's value for money as you don't need a lot ....I think it makes a difference to your overall look. Makeup seems to last longer and look better.

It’s affordable and amazing 🤩 I love how it feels and glides on so silky Since I began using I have found my makeup sits much better, lasts longer and blends more easily I am not sure if it contains sun protection but I got caught on a day that looked overcast when it began at the seaside on holiday which turned into a scorcher… and had no sunblock in my handbag however whilst everywhere else on me is peeling now- my face hasn’t and has a lovely tan! I tend to use moisturiser, then the primer and a tinted moisturiser and really find I no longer need foundation when I use it under a tinted moisturiser, it just smooths everything perfectly and stops it slipping off or looking too greasy within a few hours but I have used it with full foundation and been amazed by the difference when I didn’t use this primer to using it. My cousin is a make up artist and introduced me to this one over much more expensive brands as this is her favourite too! My only gripe is I wish it was available in larger sizes although the convenience of carrying it in my handbag doesn’t disappoint me but since I use it everyday I wouldn’t mind a larger tube for at home as well as handbag sized - that said it does last me a month or two despite using everyday because you really don’t need that much with how it glides easily when you first apply it

This doesn't compare with an expensive Primer I have been using, In that I find I have to blend my foundation more with this Primer from Rimmel. However, for the cost, it is pretty good and my skin definitely looks better with this than without it. It helps to smooth the appearance of my skin and it feels soft A little goes a long way I found and it goes on easily I would probably buy this one again
