I'm both a lover of foundations from both the drugstore e.g. Boots or Superdrug in the UK, but I also love high end foundations too, for example, Estee Lauder, Mac etc. But today I wanted to share my foundation and concealer routine using two of my favourite Rimmel London products.
So the two products I use regularly are: The Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in 103 True Ivory, and the Rimmel Wake me up concealer in Ivory. The concealer is the lightest shade in the range I think, but it's lighter than my skin tone and the foundation so it's perfect from creating that lightening effect under the eyes which also makes me look more awake, so it's a winner for me!
Firstly the foundation is a great match for me probably the best drugstore foundation colour wise for me, it blends in super well and there's no obvious foundation line. It offers I think a light to medium coverage but it covers spots and blemishes quite well for me so I rarely need to use much concealer on my pesky blemishes when I use this foundation. It lasts well for a drugstore foundation I think this is because of the consistency it isn't too thin or too thick but it's a nice in between. I love using it when I know I want a basically perfect colour match to my skin and want to look nice and glowy as without powdering this offers a nice natural glow but doesn't make my oily patches look too much!
The concealer I will then use under my eyes, I do the typical triangle shapes under both of my eyes and then blend it in put patting it in rather than blending it in, as this is the way I find works best for me and I don't need as much of the concealer under my eyes so cover the darker patches when I've had a late night! I rarely use it for blemishes at it's suppose to be a 'wake me up' effect concealer so I don't want to bring more attention to my blemishes but if I don't have any other concealer a.k.a my favourite-istt one for covering blemishes the collection lasting perfection which can also be bough from Boots or Superdrug in the UK. But I'm not sure if they stock it anywhere else unfortunately!
But if I don't this is when I will use this concealer, but I love this one for brightening my dark and tired eyes.
I hope at least one of you found this helpful if you're looking for some makeup base gems from the drugstore!
These two are so much cheaper than high end foundations and concealers as these two work just as well in my opinion!
