Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation
Designed for girls-on-the-go, Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation combines colour that can't fail with an ultra-comfortable, long-lasting wear. Skin feels energised and hydrated all day with no sign of make-up fatigue. It's stress-proof, fade-proof and transfer-proof for up to a wow-worthy 25 hours.
You want to look good day-long, and it helps when your foundation stays on your face. But busy ladies mean busy days so chances are your foundation won't last the pace, fading and rubbing off long before the end of the day.
And then there's this new foundation from Rimmel. It stays in place, and unlike other long-wear foundations, it doesn't leave skin dry, tight and chalky. Actually skin feels wonderfully hydrated all day.
And at £6.99, we reckon it puts other premium foundations to shame - a brilliant buy.

Time-released formula delivers a continuous surge of the essential hydration mature skin needs for all-day comfort. Helps eliminate mid-day dryness, patchy parched areas and the look of fine lines. Glides effortlessly across skin and blends seamlessly. Creates an ultra smooth, even-toned, beautifully flawless look.
This has a great shade range. And it's a good foundation for the right skin type. But it settles in all fine lines and wasn't moisturising enough for tester's dry skin.

Olay Definity Colour Enhancer
Olay Definity Colour Enhancer is a space-age looking, unique formula that offers 3 benefits in 1 product: a hydrating moisturiser with SPF 15, an anti-ageing serum and a sheer foundation. The 3 benefits promise even looking skin instantly, as well as reducing the appearance of brown spots, for a younger look achievable after just 8 weeks of use daily.
Looks great but result has good and bad points. It gives good coverage although it could do with lasting longer. And it does have a peculiar smell when it comes out of the tube. Good pump action which avoids mess. And skin is left looking radiant after continued use. A good product going into spring but something needs done about the smell. And our tester thought it was pricey for Olay.
