Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

This is a great foundation at an affordable price. It gives quite a full coverage so it is great for those times when you want to look flawless. Even though my skin is slightly dry the matte finish doesn't cling to my dry patches. It lasts well on my skin and I find that I usually don't need to use concealer with this foundation.

If you're looking for a good matte foundation with decent coverage, this is it.

Its affordable, does the job and gives a lovely matte finish. When I first purchased it, I thought the tube looked a little small, but a little product goes a long way.

Unfortunately I bought a shade to dark, so I'll have to tan up a bit before using it again. I'd say its a tiny bit more difficult to apply than some of my other foundations, due to its almost 'whipped' and fluffy consistency, it would be good to try using a Beauty Blender with it as it can clog up your brushes. In saying that, its wonderful on your skin, not too heavy and gives a lovely matte look.

Perfect for those who hate a shiny face and it will hold powders well.

I absolutely love this foundation! it is my favorite foundation that i have found so far. I have acne prone skin and this foundation gives me a full coverage look with out feeling cakey at all. I find that this foundation stays on very well and when i put powder over top its guaranteed to stay all day. This foundation however does not provide the matte finish that is says it will as i can see shine on my face about 4 hours after i apply it.

i brought this without a tester and in a hurry, purely because it was $17 at kmart. i have just tried it and im in love! it came out of the tube really thick which made it a little hard to apply. but the coverage is awesome. And even the colour matches great! My new fav!

I use this foundation when I want a slightly lighter coverage than my Revlon Colorstay. I love this foundation as it isn't 100% matte (unlike what the name implys), and it makes my skin look healthy & slightly glowy. This covers imperfections & blemishes, without looking cakey or like you have too much makeup on. Overall this is a great lightweight, everyday foundation!

i brought this product for only $8, amazing quality for the cost. looks perfect on the skin, and isnt cakey and lasts all day (: x

I bought this off ASOS which has Free Shipping and great prices (yay!) and I have to say I am in love! It absolutely works exactly the way it says it does! It's almost got a mousse-like formula which seriously does stay all day! It provides a flawless, long-lasting finish, which - for me - is often difficult because I have combo skin. It minimizes not only pores, but also any pimples or bumps on the face! A little goes a long way as well. As for the packaging - it almost has a matte look about it. It's in a squeezy sort of BB cream type bottle which is great for getting every last drop of product out! The ONLY downside about this product is that the shade ivory is not that light so I think the shades might run fairly dark - so maybe not so great for fair skinned beauties! Overall though, a FANTASTIC foundation and I recommend 100%! Cheap and cheerful

The Rimmel Stay Matte Mousse is my current favourite foundation. Prior to trying this foundation I had used Estee Lauder double wear, Clarins Skin Illusion and Revlon Colourstay. The Rimmel Stay Matte mousse has outdone these foundations with a sweet bonus of a lovely little $13 price tag (via asos).

I picked this up over a month ago and after the first application I was incredibly impressed. The coverage it provides is similar to the three foundations I mentioned, but feels a whole lot lighter on the skin. The first day I wore this foundation I felt like I had nothing on my face. The texture is light and creamy and blends easily and evenly. Previously I would reach for the Thin Lizzy concealer daily to cover acne scarring around my chin, but an extra layer of this foundation has left my concealer at the back of my drawer. This flawless coverage lasts all day (7am - 7pm) and keeps me incredibly matte. When set with a powder I do not need to retouch my foundation during the day and I no longer need to use blotting sheets.

After a few days of using this foundation I was about to label it 'perfect.' However, by the end of the week I had two dry patches on my face. I have oily skin so this was certainly unusual. I moisterised like a crazy woman and thankfully they haven't returned. This experience leads me to think that this foundation would not be suitable for anybody with dry, normal or even combination skin. The only other downside to this foundation is the colour range, which is pretty limited. I do have to mix two shades to get the perfect colour.

Overall this is my current favourite foundation which is an amazing alternative to the double wear, colourstay and Clarins skin illusion foundations. If you wear these foundations you will either love it even more, or at least enjoy it as a cheaper alternative for casual days. I will continue to use this foundation however I will need to be vigilant in nourishing my skin at night.

Perfect for when I want a matte look,Purchased from Asos a few months ago super cheap and free shipping cant complain,Prefer to start off applying this with my fingers then with my brush to buff out I find it had amazing coverage and as long as you don't use too much like most things...,Love the packaging with the squeeze tube means you can get all the product out but you cant put it back in so be careful with how much you squeeze out.Priming is a must!!!
