Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

Whilst the packaging says it is 'feather light' I personally find it quite heavy. Not a bad thing though because I have lumped it in with my other full coverage foundations. It is also advertised as matte, which it isn't. I wish it was, as that was what I was after. On a brighter note, it's super easy to apply and blend in.

I wear this everyday, simply haven't found anything better in this price range.

Firstly, texture. I am used to wearing quitethick foundations in order to try and provide full coverage of my acne and acne scarring- This is the lightest foundation I have ever found that actually still works! It's a nice, smooth, mousse foundation, which does not cake on like other foundations I could mention. It's super easy to apply, I don't even bother using a brush for this, just gently use my fingers and it goes on nice and evenly.

Secondly, it is matte. Which is fantastic for people like me with oily skin and acne- where dewey foundations just tend to highlight my skin problems, I think this makes them a lot less obvious. Also, because of this matte quality I have found it stays on much better than other products, even in summer when my face is oily AND sweaty!

Price- I have been using this daily for two months, and I still have half a tube left! This is because you seriously only need a tiny amount to provide decent coverage. So it's also a great price!

I was recommended by a friend to try this, and I'm so glad I did. I now recommend it too!

I bought this in the colour 201 classic beige thinking that this would be an okay colour, the packaging makes it hard to try and copier match so just picked the one I thought would be closest. However this turned out too look very pinky on my skin and it made me look just odd. I mean, I can still use it but I'd have to do some mixing with some other products and even then, it is such a time hassle. However the formula of this is great as it does turn out very matte and is perfect for anyone with oily skin, but be aware that if you have a dry patch, it probably will stick to that and then it becomes very obvious. The formula itself is very thick and not as funny as I prefer my foundations but still works nicely once I mix it with other products

I love this foundation if I want to have a matte face all day, I use a flat top brush and I struggle a little bit to apply this foundation as it very thick and full coverage and basically instantly goes Carey on my face, so I omly need a very small amount! Very good but though, if I am doing an ASOS Orfer I add it to my cart. As it is often on sale for roughly 10 NZD

I'm suprised at how much I like this foundation considering I normally don't like mousse textured foundations. Sadly I do think this foundation can be a little heavy on the skin, so I prefer to sheer it out a little by applying with a beauty blender damped with Fix+. Although this reduces the coverage, which is medium-full, it feels much better on the skin than when I apply with a brush. I also feel like more product gets absorbed by the brush than by a sponge which is odd but the foundation is so thick that it clogs the brush bristles! However, paired with the Stay Matte powder this does keep my super oily skin pretty matte during the day. It also doesn't sink into my pores and does give a pretty flawless finish to the skin. It also blends wonderfully in with my skin and the shade Soft Beige is almost a perfect match for my neutral undertone skin.

This makeup is only good for people who have very very clean, blemish free skin. It is probably a medium coverage, but when you have any pimples or scarring, it shows through and looks cakey even when its not. Even though it does have a very nice matte finish, it look a bit plastic-like so I only wore it a few times until I bought some new foundation to wear instead of this one.

this is definitely a matte foundation, the coverage is also a full coverage which was awesome! the only thing i didnt like was that the color range is crap the darkest shade i could find anywhere local or online was a few shades too light for me and i am a medium tan, but i really wanted to try it so i mixed it with a darker foundation of mine, i definitely did like this foundation though for sure :)

I love this foundation and it's the one I find myself reaching for every single day. It has a nice full coverage with a matte finish, it's a mousse formula and feels light as a feather on the skin, its super easy to work with and blends with minimal effort. I set it with a powder and it lasts the full day at work. The packaging is simple but effective, it's in a squeeze tube which is perfect as its a thicker consistenty so it's really easy to get the product out and control how much you are using. The only downside is that the colour range is very limited and the shade I have isn't a perfect match but it's still close enough to be wearable.

I really liked this product when i first started using it. Its really good value for money, cute packaging and a good coverage formula. you don't need much to create a flawless finish. really matte, which reduces shine and leaves you looking relatively flawless all day.

The only thing i don't like about this foundation as it streaks really easy when using a brush, so you have to buff it out. It also can crease and split around the nose and forehead, but that can be easily fixed with powder.

All up, its a good foundation for beginners and for the price.
