Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation

This foundation is a recent discovery. I have heard so many people talk about this product before but I never really understood what the hype was all about. I wasn't out to find a new foundation but I saw it was on clearance for $5 down from $20 so I thought I'd give it a try.

I love this foundation and it is my new "Holy Grail" foundation. Who knew a matte finish is now my best friend! It leaves a beautiful flawless matte finish, blends well even though it dries quite quickly. Build able coverage and doesn't cake up at all. Perfect for winter as it is quite a heavy feeling foundation.

The only downside is that it can be hard to take off at the end of the day as I find that it gets stuck in my pores. It does last all day, I found it great to apply with a sponge, I tried applying with my fingers but it didn't work to well with my skin.

I have just fallen in love with this foundation! Today was my first time useing it and I am so impressed! I've now had it on for 7 hours and I have no shine (I have normal to oily skin), its all still in place and looks exactly how it did when I first applied it. The coverage is great, medium to full and definitely buildable. It feels really nice on my skin, not thick or cakey and it's very breathable. The colour I chose is true ivory and it's a perfect match for me. I was so happy about this as I always have a hard time trying to get a great match. It lasts so long and it's so cheap! I'll definitely be buying this again

This foundation is amazing value for money! Such good coverage, nice consistency and good staying power to boot! I find with this foundation I don't need to use much concealer on an average day, and by the end of the day my foundation is still in place! Super super happy with this purchase

If you're looking for a good matte foundation with decent coverage, this is it.

Its affordable, does the job and gives a lovely matte finish. When I first purchased it, I thought the tube looked a little small, but a little product goes a long way.

Unfortunately I bought a shade to dark, so I'll have to tan up a bit before using it again. I'd say its a tiny bit more difficult to apply than some of my other foundations, due to its almost 'whipped' and fluffy consistency, it would be good to try using a Beauty Blender with it as it can clog up your brushes. In saying that, its wonderful on your skin, not too heavy and gives a lovely matte look.

Perfect for those who hate a shiny face and it will hold powders well.

using this for the first time ever today and so far I LOVE it!!!!! it is so nice and matte. easy to apply and a little really does go a long way!! the only downfall I could say about this product is that it has a strange smell but that wont stop me from continuing to use:)

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.

When I use regular foundations, my skin gradually tends to get super oily and shiny. Sick of this happening, I endeavoured to find a nice matte foundation and came across this on ASOS for only around $12. It is a lovely mousse consistency and applied very nicely to my face and was so light that I didn't feel like I had anything on. It gave me a perfect matte finish for about 8 hours! So impressed!

this is the perfect foundation for oily skin! i have dry/normal skin and it caked up abit on me and seaped into my creases but i loved it that much a still wore it for a few days before i couldnt handle seeing my fine lines through it any longer lol. although my sister used it and she has oily skin and it looks amazing on her, some people say its a close dupe to double wear being really full coverage and long lasting if you have oily skin i would def recommend you try it

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!
