Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

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.

Not sure why this is highly rated I tried it without a primer and it sat in my pores so up close it really didn't look very nice. The match perfection with the blue lid and pump looks nicer on my skin although not a matte. The tube is not a glass bottle it's cheap plastic which makes for lightweight carrying in the hand bag. The foundation is thick like a heavy cream. It clung to dry patches and would look flakey up close and you could see my pores. I would be interested to see how this worked with a primer or oily skin. I don't actually think it was full coverage either but would be buildable lines and aged areas are exaggerated too just the way it sits on the skin. I had a very similar experience with another brand of foundation too. I think the black packaging does not stand out to make you think the brand is Rimmel London either. Not over priced. The finish is not my liking so I wouldn't re purchase I would like to know what this is like with a silicone primer underneath or pore filler

I waiver between dewy finish and matte finish for my foundations, but this matte foundation had some great reviews, and wasn't a pricey purchase so felt it was worth a go.

This foundation had a good range of shades available, and the ivory shade was perfect for my skin - not too pale or white. It is a thick foundation, and covered my complexion well, but it also has the downfall of filling wrinkles, and when its set, those wrinkles then crack and the look just isn't my thing.

I found the foundation very drying on my skin as well, and left my face feeling tight while the foundation was on. It was a relief to remove it at the end of the day. This would be a great foundation for oily skin.

Not one I'd repurchase unfortunately.

Im going to be blunt, I do not like this foundation. I know so many people rave about it, but i found that it just didnt suit me. I find this product is just a lawyer on my skin and doesn't blend into my skin after awhile it made my face look very dry and patchy and I could feel it on my skin. Which I do not like when it comes to foundations. I ended up giving it to my friends mother because I just couldn't find a way for it to work with my skin.

I think this will forever be my favourite foundation to wear when I’m going out, purely for the fact it is SO full coverage and covers all my imperfections and freckles, leaving my skin looking absolutely flawless! I have used this foundation for years and have multiple shades for when I’m natural or fake tanned and they don’t disappoint me. I’ve been asked what foundation I’m using and people are normally shocked when I say it’s a drugstore foundation!!

I absolutely love this product! I find it easy to apply and very easy to blend. It doesnt dry to fast and it is not sticky at all! This is my new go to foundation for a quick and easy application as the coverage is perfect for my skin type. it covers my blemishes and marks on my face that I dont like perfectly.

I picked this up on sale from Farmers for $12, so cheap! I had high hopes for this but unfortunately it was not good on my skin.

I like the squeezy tube as it makes it easy to get the right amount of product out, I selected the shade ivory which was a tad dark for my complexion. I tried applying several ways, it looked great for about an hour but then I looked like a cakey mess.

It settled into my pores and really badly around my nose. It felt heavy and mask like. Each time I put this on I couldn't wait to take it off again. I would not recommend for dry skin. Not a good foundation for me.
