All About That Base

Wake Me Up has been my go to foundation for at least a year. I apply it with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and set with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in peach glow. At a time where I was going through the 'spotty teenager' stage I found the coverage fantastic as its easy to build. Personally, it sits on my skin very nicely, gives me great coverage and that dewy look.

The one thing I wasn't really sure about when first purchasing this foundation is how I felt regarding the tiny shimmers mixed in with it. I was slightly worried I'd look like a glistening vampire from twilight. However, after much use and reassurance I am convinced it doesn't show on the skin.

However, I have a 'normal' skin type and I wouldn't recommend this for people with oily skin as it is wet looking without adding a setting powder over the top. As well as that, I feel it does gather round the sides of my nose the longer I wear it.

This all said, I do repurchase this again and again because it's good on my skin, very cheap, the packaging is nice and has a pump which is always a plus.

I rate this foundation an 8/10.
