Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

I found this foundation to be quite decent for the price. I really like the packaging because the pump makes it so easy to only use what you need. It doesn't really have a scent, and it has a nice consistency. As with most foundations, I found it applies nicer with a beauty blender or a sponge than it did with a brush. Only downsides were that it did oxidise quite a bit, and it went quite oily after a few hours, but I do have oily skin so this could be why. Aside from that, I would recommend this foundation, although it might be slightly better suited to people with dry skin.

In my constant struggle in finding the perfect foundation with my painfully pale skin, I stumbled across Match Perfection. And I love it. Their lightest shade is perfect for my skin tone, and I'm overjoyed by the affordable price!

After whining for months about not finding a shade to fit my fair skin, a friend recommended this product to me in Fair Ivory. It's a perfect match and gives a young dewy finish that lasts for most of the day and will last even longer if you stop touching your face - a habit I struggle with! Definitely my favourite cheaper foundation by far (so far!)

I really like this foundation, the price is good and the bottle lasts quite a long time. The coverage is good if you use a good primer before hand, I have uneven skin tone and this foundation hides it well.

This is a foundation that has truly impressed me, to the point where I’ve repurchased (a first for me, as I usually like to try out different things). It’s a great everyday foundation, which looks natural, and wears well.

One of my favourite things about this is that it has a few fair shades, and the lightest one matches me perfectly. I’m NC15ish in MAC shades (sometimes a bit lighter), and most light foundation shades are too orange or pink, or oxidise throughout the day. However, I have shade Fair Ivory in this, and it is literally perfect; not even borderline dark. So that’s a huge bonus in my books!

The packaging is sleek and feels quite expensive in my opinion. It’s a glass bottle with a blue plastic pump and removable slanted cap with the Rimmel crown logo emblazoned on the top. The pump works perfectly, and gives a generous amount of product – usually I just use one pump for my whole face, but it’s so easy to control the amount that if I need more I can just pump out a little extra without wasting another whole pump-full.

This foundation has a fairly runny liquid texture, and I find it applies best with either a damp sponge (I use my RT sponge) or fingers. Because it is quite runny I find a buffing brush can make it look a little streaky, although it’s still possible to use it, but fingers or sponge blend it seamlessly and make it easy to build up the coverage. One light layer provides light-medium coverage, and evens out my skintone nicely, but it definitely is buildable, and by adding a bit more on areas that need it I can get it to a more medium-full coverage without looking cakey. It has a light cucumbery/slightly sunscreeny scent, but that disappears soon after applying it.

The finish is very natural and what I would describe as satin-dewy. I do set it with a light layer of powder (at the moment I’m using Australis Fresh & Flawless), and I find it lasts a good 4-6 hours before it starts looking a bit shiny on my nose (I have dry-combination skin). If I use blotting paper it holds up for another good few hours, and so I’m quite happy to wear this out all day. It doesn’t make me look like I’m wearing foundation or heavy makeup, it just makes my skin look radiant and even, which is exactly what I want in an everyday foundation.

The SPF does show up in flash photos, so I don’t wear this on nights out or if I know there’s going to be flash photography, but it’s perfect for everyday wear (and in that case the SPF is a nice bonus).

Overall, thanks to the colour match for my fair skin, the lovely natural finish, and the reasonable price (about $22 at Farmers), this has definitely taken the spot of my current favourite foundation. Apart from the SPF flashback, it’s something I’m happy to wear on any occasion, and I definitely would recommend it to others!

The title says it all. i found my match instantly. Its light enough for the day and easy to build up for a night out. It leaves a nice dewy finish without looking to greasy. I found it lasts a relatively long time which is an A+!

I loveeeeee love love the finish that this foundation gives my skin, its dewy without looking greasy and it looks fresh and young however I have basic fair skin (combination skin as well) and I bought the lightest shade and throughout the day I have noticed it gets very orange coloured and ends up being way too dark for my neck which sucks because I love this foundation to pieces!!! I use it when I have fake tan and works perfectly though!!

This is the first foundation ever that has matched my skin tone, been light enough for daytime but buildable enough for a night out and stayed on all day. As someone with dry skin, I'm used to foundation sinking into the rough patches of my skin in about four or five hours and showing up, however Rimmel Match Perfection would stay perfect all day, and only begin to show flaws after about 8 hours of wear.

The only weird thing about this foundation is that, for some reason, it does not settle on my upper cheeks. Whenever I apply, it seems to sink straight through that skin, and when I try to apply more, goes from zero coverage to cake almost instantly, with no beautiful smooth inbetween that it gives the rest of my face. Apparently this also happens to two other friends that use this foundation. An odd shame because otherwise, I love the product.

I love this foundation for everyday wear. It is light weight but is easily buildable. It is also on the cheaper side ranging from about $15-$20. Im the colour 200 soft beige and i found the colour matches my skin perfectly. I have 2 back ups in my draw and will most likely continue to purchase. I do find my skin gets quite oily throughout the day and the foundation starts to come off before i get home

I've been impressed with Rimmel foundations so I thought I'd give this one a try as well. I ordered it off Asos when it was on sale so the price was even better.

I love how lightweight this foundation is. It is quite runny bu it's still easy to blend. I found the coverage buildable as well. I really like this foundation and it's great it comes with a pump.

For me this is Rimmel's version of L'oreal's true match foundation which I also really like. This is cheaper though and feels lighter on the skin.

If you're after an affordable every day foundation, this is a good one.
