I think the best way for me to review this product would be in a pros and cons list. So here we go.
Pros: Lasts all day. I wore it for about 9 hours and even after running around after my 2 year old brother on a hot day it hadn't budged. Really amazing coverage. Even though it's a mousse foundation it really didn't feel heavy on my face at all. Definitely a matte finish. I have combo skin and it didn't come up shiny or oily on my T Zone. If you like your foundations in a squeezy tube, this is great and it really lets you control how much you squeeze out of it. You don't need a lot of it. Also the colour matched my skin tone perfectly.
Cons: The tube is really small. Clogged my pores, definitely didn't minimize them at all. Clung to my dry patches really badly. Applied with my flat foundation brush it was very streaky. I tried using my fingers to warm up the product and THEN blend it in with the brush and it still didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Could be better with a different type of applicator though, I will have to experiment some more and see. If you prefer a pump, this isn't great for you. Sort of unsanitary in my opinion.
So this is definitely a good foundation, don't get me wrong. Just for me and my skin type, it really didn't work. If you have maybe normal to oily skin it could be amazing and I would definitely recommend it, but for combo to dry skin I feel like it's not very good.
I bought this foundation as I ran out of my normally foundation but didn't want to buy a new $60 bottle of foundation as my mum was bring my some back from America. So I bought this one to tie me over since it was only $20.
I was pleasantly surprised, It is a good foundation and I received several compliments on my foundation when wearing the RImmel foundation.
The mousse formula goes on smoothly and spreads nicely, the coverage is Medium to Full. I use a Flat top brush to buff it into my skin which helps it stay longer and gives a nice even finish.
I did however have a few times were later in the afternoon I needed to reapply in my T-zone as it had become patchy. But apart from that it is a good foundation.
