Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

After hearing a lot of my makeup obsessive friends going on about this foundation I simply had to try. I was after full coverage without looking cakey, or feeling cakey.

*Update, After revisiting this old friend I found i Didn't enjoy it so much after trying higher end foundations. It felt really sticky on, and I felt my face was unclean so had to wash it off! When you set with powder etc it feels like you're layering and layering more makeup on, not a fantastic feeling. What works for some unfortunately didn't work for me again. I so wanted to love this This is perfect for that! It's thick formula is easily spread with a stipple brush, it covers all my freckles, imperfections, and dare i say it under eye bags (I am a mum) And looks matte, flawless, I love it !

I find it sets well, and blends well, and the Ivory was perfect for my pale skin tone (was a stab in the dark picking a shade). Very totally super happy with it

I loved how light this foundation felt on my skin, I barely felt like I was wearing makeup at all which I love! A little goes a long way with Rimmel Stay Matte: the cream is smooth and I found it really easy to evenly apply with just my fingers. The tube also makes it easy to work with, but be careful not to squeeze out too much or it will go to waste. It gave a gorgeous, medium coverage that I was delighted with, especially for the price!

When I purchased the first time I accidentally got the wrong colour (it was the lightest, and im a medium gal!) so I ended up using that as a concealer/highlighter - AMAZING

WHen I brought the RIGHT shade for me, I loved it! Personally I prefer their long lasting 25 hr foundation but this was a good alternative!

i ordered this foundation after hearing so much about it on the makeup obsessives facebook page. i do find that the formula is quite thick, and i haven't found the perfect way to apply it just yet! i do find that it tends to cake up around my nose, but i do have very dry skin on my nose, everywhere else it doesn't cake up. a little goes a very long way so be sure not to squeeze out too much at once :)

Well this product is soo matte you really only need to use the smallest bit. I would really recommend to use your fingers cleaned as a brush and espically a beauty blender as too much product make you look really cakey. This foundation is for people who have pink under tones as its a really pink foundation and stands out maybe you could use more bronzer to make it look more to a yellow under tone like I have :)

I was looking for something to give full coverage without looking over done, and this has such great reviews so I eagerly purchased it while on sale off the ASOS website. I chose the True Ivory shade.

I really wanted to love this, but sadly it's just wasn't right for my skin type.

It does give a great matte finish, and it is full coverage, but I found the result much too dry looking for me, and I didn't like the overall finished effect of it. I'm not quite sure the colour was a great match for me either, as I looked a bit pale. (Picking a shade was hit and miss online).

It's a very thick mousse, and I found you really don't need much at all to get good coverage. I used my fingers to spread it over my face, and then my brush to blend it in. It's really easy to work with.

For the price, you can't really complain too much, it does what it says it does!

fist off i LOVE this and wish i could use it but sadly i dont think its made for dry skin :(

coverage is amazing i would say it leans towards full coverage, apparently its a dupe for EL double wear

application and consistency, applying this is easy i just damp my beauty blender and pat the product into my skin and it blends flawlessly. the consistance is thick moose like, it reminds me of instant pudding for some reason haha

usage and price, for a full face i only used a pea size with this product a little bit goes a very long way! price is AMAZING for what you get

packaging is simple but effective

results, this gave me a flawless face with only using a pea sized amount and one layer was on the full coverage side, however i don't think this works well on dry skin as it accentuated dry patches and did feel quite drying on my skin, ther wise this would be my HG foundation :(

i recommend this to everyone!!! appart from dry skined people

I have finally found a foundation that stops the oil factory appearing on my face!

I have such oily skin that foundations slide off, it's gross. But this one it stays on from 7am to 5pm without needed to top up with powder.

I have been applying small dots straight on my face then buffing in with a beauty blender, it covers well but in some spots since it's so thick it doesn't blend as well so I'm gonna try rubbing it in with my fingers first as someone's suggested.

You don't need a lot of this so the tube will last for ages, I've found the shade 100 perfect for my yellow toned pale skin. Will definitely repurchase this beauty

I have been using Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation for about 8 months now. Although it's not my overall favourite foundation, it's definitely my favourite budget-friendly foundation. Only $19 from the warehouse! Although this make-up looks amazing straight after application, about 3-4 hours later it doesn't appear to stay on my skin very well. It starts to rub off easily and makes my skin oily. Still a great product for the price you pay.

I was lucky enough to have this gifted to me by a fellow BR member and was super excited to try especially with the fabulous reviews!

I can honestly say this has opened my eyes to cheaper foundation and definitely made me more open minded to trying other options!

I love the texture of this product, its so beautiful, fluffy and moussey. Alone it gives a beautiful full coverage with an almost air brushed effect.. Its not at all cakey and blends beautifully.

I love this even more mixed in with some CC cream and some strobe cream.. It makes the most dreamy concoction for the face.

The fact that this product is great alone and can be used in conjunction with other products for alternative finishes makes it an absolute must have in my opinion especially for the price! This wont break the bank and it certainly wont disappoint!
