This product provides excellent coverage, however it was a touch too thick for my skin. I think I'd like this item in a mouse-like consistency. If you don't enjoy the sensation of make-up on your face, this is one to avoid. If you don't mind wearing a lot of make-up, this may be a good product for you!

Wasn't expecting anything at this price, just another run-of-the-mill foundation but this little gem turned out to be absolutely great. It give a radian boost and has pretty decent coverage, being non-mattyfying. Maybe people with dry skin would enjoy it better as it does have shimmering particles and might cause people with combination and oily skin headache but to me, it's just perfect. Difficult to come by lately,though.

Rimmel Recover doesn't apply on too strong or patchy.
I love this product, I am 14 and I have used it for roughly 2 years.

i didn't really like this because it was quite glittery and a few of my friends commented on this it did smell nice though and was affordable but i have no given up using this foundation.

Rimmel Recover foundation made me break out like crazy. Maybe it's just me, but it's the second time I've tried a Rimmel product, and I always get clogged pores. I'm very diligent with washing my face, and whenever I decide to go off this product, my skin clears up. I'd say it's good if you absolutely don't have acne prone skin, and you don't have dry skin - and you're looking for a sheer coverage. I also found it strange that the tone 'ivory' which matches my skin tone in other Rimmel products, was completely off with this.

I bought this product from Boots, as it was on special offer at £4.99. I use Rimmel's products daily, and it has become my favourite cosmetics brand, so I had to try this new foundation. Having applied my concealer, I followed with the Rimmel Recover foundation over the majority of my face. The foundation looked lovely, and it covered any minor blemishes I may have had. The result was a nice, healthy glow which looked flawless. However, I have had my bottle for about 1 month, and it has almost run out. Also, this product isn't the best for dry skin, as it looks flaky.
All in all, I would buy this foundation again, and I would reccomend it.

Rimmel Recover foundation works well to cover blemishes when used with Rimmel Clear Complexion. I have used many other brands of foundation, and I love the ease, feel and coverage of Rimmel Recover. I feel like I am wearing no make-up at all.
After I use Recover I lightly use the bronzer, and I am good for the day! Thanks for a wonderful product!

Rimmel Recover gives a lovely natural finish to my older skin

was looking forward to trying this as i usually like rimmel products and thought this looked like it would be fresh and light for spring. I found that the coverage it gives isn't great (however the colour matched my skin almost perfectly) and if you do have any blemishes, it doesn't do a great job of disguising them. It has a slightly grainy feel to it as you apply it which i wasn't keen on and it didn't seem to last more than a few hours before i needed to reapply. The packaging is great and the top doesn't get at all gunky, but due to the amount I need to use, I don't think it will last very long. Will stick to my maybelline in future.

Rimmel Recover foundation leaves your skin with a healthy glow and covers up those unsightly dark circles that build after too many nights on the tiles! I really like it as it isn't too pale or too dark, and it doesn't build up and go patchy! Gives definite holiday skin without being too dark. Also, I bought it on offer in Tesco for half price, which is always nice!

I've been so excited about Recover foundation since I saw the Rimmel advert with Kate Moss. The colours seemed to be pale online but don't be mistaken there not :(. It doesn't give good coverage but if you had nice tanned skin it would probably look lovely. The design on the bottle is cute and it looks really trendy and it smells really fresh. I would not recommend this foundation, its more like a tinted moisturiser. If you have pale skin I wouldn't buy it theres no point just bitter disappointment.
