Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

A gorgeous everyday foundation that definitely lives up to its ‘radiance’ claims. I own this product in Light Porcelain, and it is very, very fair- perfect for my even-lighter-than-NW10 skin. It has a good balance of pink and yellow tones and gives a very smooth, porcelain-like finish to the skin. The finish is natural to dewy, so some days I find myself needing powder touchups. If you have oily skin this may not be a the best option for you as it is very moisturizing, but it could be too rich for certain skin types.

Coverage is light to medium- it evens out the skin tone beautifully but wont cover extreme freckles or breakouts. The texture is quite slippery- I use my fingers to apply because I lose less product and have more control. I really like the texture, but one drawback is that it makes it a bit more difficult to do layers of the foundation to build up coverage. I love how it seems to melt into the skin though…

It claims to be a ‘skin-tone matching product.’ I personally am always wary of this sort of marketing- I do not believe that foundation is ‘intelligent’ enough to understand what tone your skin is, and so getting the right undertone of foundation is purely coincidental- ‘matching’ technology offers more of a placebo effect.

On the back it claims to ‘last all day.’ Due to its lightweight and blendable texture I do think that it tends to move around a little throughout the day, so make sure to use a good primer and have powder on hand. Overall though, I’m satisfied with the wear time, it doesn’t oxidise to weird colours and it even survived my 60min cardio class at the gym yesterday evening- success.

You get 30ml of product, and it comes in an elegant glass bottle with a blue lid and a pump that allows you to control product dispensing well- is anyone else sick of packaging that gives you 3x more than you need? Top marks for the dispenser on this one. It also smells very nice- a fresh floral scent that isn’t too in your face (heheh see the pun there?)

Side note: this product is spf 18, but as this is low I’d definitely recommend having an extra layer of sun protection on your face or you may get le sunburn.

Take home message: this is a lovely light to medium coverage foundation that enhances your natural skin. A 'drugstore' gem- I will definitely repurchase.

*Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation gets the -Nina- tick of approval*

It looked great on my skin! I was able to match a colour perfect to my skin tone and it blended in well and looked as if I was not wearing any make up. Although it did make me break out after just one day wearing it, so not my exact favourite for my skin type

I picked the Rmmel Match Perfection on Hoilday. My current foundation was to pale with the on set of summer! I must say I love it ! It was a great summer foundation light weight my natural skin could still breath ! My skin looks amazing wearing this gorgeous product ! It sets soft and natural looking . Thiis foundation held up well in the long wear department ! Out in the sun for sevrat hours ( thanks to 18spf) stopped for lunch checked my make up stilling pretty great ! ( my poor sister inlaw in a more expensive brand was having the make up slide she asked me what I have been using she was so surprised ) My only disappointment was I knocked it in to the basic and it smanhed in to a million pieces ! Pick up a new one the next day $10 can't complain !

I love this. Rimmel is so well priced compared to other foundations out there, and in my oppinion very underated! This goes on well, doesn't look cakey and it natural.

Meh- this foundation was actually better than I expected considering how little it cost. I wasn't a fan of the super strong scent- my skin is problematic at best so I tend to steer clear from really fragrance heavy foundations. Not great- didn't have great lasting power and oxidised a wee bit. If you have pretty good, non senstive skin then this might be a goer. All in all, with foundation you tend to get what you pay for.

I use this as my daily foundation as its nice and light but gives good coverage. I have oily skin and it has good staying power with a setting powder. My shade is a perfect natural match.

I got this little gem when ASOS was having a sale and guessed my colour right! For me - a dry skin beauty, I find this foundation is great at not clinging to my dry patches. The coverage is great and buildable and gives my skin a dewy glowing finish. I really love the smell which is quite floral smelling. Overall an awesome find!

Absolutely love this foundation. I have tried many over the years, figuring out what is best for my skin-type and skin-tone. This has been one of my go-to foundations between finding other brands.

It never dried out my skin, it did stay matte, and i protected skin against sun~

It does exactly what it says, but I have found that it can cake up if you use too much.

I absolutely love this foundation. It is great for everyday wear when I don't want to use a more expensive, high end foundation. Great coverage, good consistency, very affordable and great on any skin type! Amazing.

I have always struggled with finding a perfect foundation that suits my skin but i finally found it when i purchased this foundation in ivory a couple of weeks ago. The coverage i would say is medium but buildable! I love how light and not cacky it looks and feels on my skin!
