I have recently started using rimmel stay matte foundation after hearing a few good recommendations. I was a bit worried at first because where I bought it didn't have samples but was lucky enough to have selected the right colour for my skin. I like the squeezy tube which makes use easy and mess free. But I have not got to the end of my first one yet so often that is when you find out if the container is good enough to get every last drop out or not. I would say the coverage is medium, I still need a little concealer for under my eyes and on acne, but still feel like you can see my skin and it's not caked on. The foundation does last well over the course of the day, however it does not keep the shine at bay. The shine isn't terrible, but a couple of blots with a tissue throughout the day is still a good idea for me. And this is with a little powder on top of the foundation too. All in all I think this is a good product and will be purchasing again.

Tips: I found the foundation did not go on smoothly with a foundation brush and sort of sat on top of my skin. For me finger application was best.
Love this foundation, the coverage is awesome and makes you look flawless. Definitely recommend it, and goes on so evenly too
I love this product . Before its release , I was a daily user of Rimmel Perfect Match foundation , but wanted something a little more full coverage . I love the mousse-like texture that enables you to use only the smallest dab to successfully cover your full face . The coverage is just flawless , I have very red cheeks but with this foundation I no longer need to use concealers or colour correctors underneath . The foundation holds up well in heat, water and sweat . For the tiny price tag , it is an absolute steal !
I usually love and I mean LOVE Rimmel foundations but this one let me down. I had so many raving reviews and for me it just felt very heavy on the skin and quite hard to buff in. Also the colour range wasn't amazing :(
I recently purchased this product and having read mixed reviews approached it with some caution and not much expectation.
After using it though, I felt it was actually a very good product for the price. The product has a nice creamy consistency, gives you a lovely matte coverage and you don't have to worry about adding any setting powder to it. I felt even on my dry skin, that this works quite well so long as I moisturise with a good moisturiser. The foundation doesn't feel heavy at all and you just have a nice,easy, comfortable foundation that you can wear every day and have in your bag.
Tips: If you have very dry skin, make sure you use a really good moisturiser to make sure your skin doesn't dry out and the foundation goes on smooth. Use a hydrating primer as well to give your skin a beautiful finish once you've completed applying the foundation.
This is a amazing product for such a small cost in store at farmers it is only $19nzd so worth it. I find it light weight and easy to wear. But if I apply in the morning then set it with the stay matte powder by mid day I have to blend it out abit as it goes quite patchy but then it lasts all day from there on. So easy to remove.
omg the best foundation that i have ever used!!! its so feathery and feels light on my skin. lasts all day without sweating. its completly matte, you only need the tiniest amount and will cover everything, its a full coverage foundation which i live and having oily skin theres no shine or flashback. only warning would be to people with dry flakey skin i dont think it would work on. this is blendable and just amazing for me. It is nearly all il use in my makeup kit and everyone i have introduced it to loves it aswell. I couldnt be more happier with this product and for less than $20 how could you go wrong. it hides imperfections so well.
Tips: use a primer. rimmel also has the matte foundation primer which is for this foundation range and is also fabulous.
bought this for 5 dollars from kmarts huge makeup clearance. it was amazing!!! good colour match :) a very tiny pea size manages to cover almost my entire face! super matte, in fact could go without powder if you wanted to but i always use powder anyways for lasting a longer time.
Tips: use your fingers, if you use brush it will be too sheer and since its matte aka more cakey, it has more obvious brush marks
I am in love with this foundation, at only $17.50 a tube it is such value for money.
It is medium to full coverage and blends beautifully, for an airbrush finish I apply using a damp beauty blender.
It is more of a night time foundation as under sunlight you can start to see the product within an hour and it doesn't sit as nicely as it does in the evening.
Not the greatest color selection but if you can find your shade I would recommend picking some up for nights out or if you are looking for a foundation for a photoshoot.
I bought this from Kmart on special for $12.50! I really liked the mousse texture and found it blended in nicely on my skin. I put it on with foundation brush but then swiped over with my fingers to get a more even look. I was surprised with how little I used. It stayed on really well as my skin is more dry than oily. I did however put a little powder over my chin and nose ass these are the places my foundation wears off over the course of a day. This really helped the staying power, I found the coverage really good too and I would definitely buy this again even if its not on special.
Tips: If you have a more oily t.zone add a bit of powder in that area for lasting power.
