Review | Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

By Katieemay @katieemay1
I bought this foundation on a whim the other week because I was broke but desperate for some new foundation. I love Rimmel products and when I saw that it was only a fiver, I jumped at the chance to buy it, not really sure at what I'd bought. Behold, I think I may have found my favorite foundation...EVER!

A problem I have always had with foundations and BB creams and what not is that they always make me look slightly orange. I deliberated for a while when picking the color of the stay matte and went on the lighter side of True Ivory because the weather is horrible here in the UK and I have no tan whatsoever.
So, the product. Did it stay matte? Yes it did. I have quite an oily t-zone and other foundation products leave me with a slightly greasy look and the need for constant re-application of powder however with Rimmel's Stay Matte, it doesn't leave me with the oily look nor do I have the need to re apply umpteen times throughout the day. Also, the coverage it gives is quite amazing. Lately, my skin has been quite red and blotchy but you wouldn't tell with this foundation; it gives a clear looking complexion - I've hardly had to use my concealer! Another thing I love about this product is the lightness of it on your skin. It doesn't block your pores and doesn't sit white around your nostrils, which is always a bonus.
