Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

I have this in the old packaging, so I don't know if the formula has changed much at all. But for my one, the coverage is very light, good for days where I don't need coverage. It's a very average foundation, there's nothing absolutely brilliant or absolutely terrible about this foundation at all. I do really love the packaging, however, I find its better than ones in glass bottles. It makes it good to take travelling. For its price, it's a decent foundation if you're not looking for high coverage.

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 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!

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 love Rimmel! Howwwwwever, this foundation is so meh. I was recommended it as its a full coverage foundation. The texture is like a thick mousse. It covered everything and lasted all day but I looked super cakey and found that even set with trans powder or setting spray it way so thick and transferred onto everything.

I suppose if you didn't need full coverage but wanted a matte finish, this would be a good one for you. Just make sure to blend blend blend ❤️

I'm a big fan of full coverage foundation, so I am very excited to try. The packaging looks high-end, in its little black and tan tube. The coverage is very full but the finish was not what I was after.

The formula seemed rather hard to blend and did not look natural on mel. Maybe it was my dryish skin..

I will stick with my Estee Lauder doublewear for full coverage foundation.

I have very dry skin, so stay matte was not my ideal foundation. Very heavy and definitely full coverage. Does not last long on the face, id say around 3 hours. Gives a great matte finish though, just not made for dry skin :[

Never would I have expected to have such a complicated relationship with a foundation! I love this foundation's initial formula, finish and I coverage, however I was disappointed to see that the shade ivory is not the same as the shade of the match perfection by rimmel, it is a lot pinker. My other gripe with this foundation is that it doesn't 'stay matte' as advertised, I dont have very oily skin and even with a powder on stop I'm still shiny after a winters day in the office. The other claim by Rimmel that this foundation reduces the appearance of pores is intially true but as the day goes on this product sinks into my pores even with a primer worse than any of my other foundations.

This is definitely a matte foundation. I have very dry skin and this didn't overly dry me out. Extremely full coverage can look a bit cakey so blend well, and a damp beauty blender works amazingly.

Not my favourite,but not too shabby.

Good price as well.
