In this post, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the
Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation
RRP: $12.95
I have it in "100 IVORY" which is the lightest shade and let me just say, it is NOT "ivory". It is actually kind of orange and therefore, does not match me. It leaves an orange patch where I applied it. Thumbs down already.
It comes in a squeezy tube which is pretty easy to use.
This is what the foundation looks like when it comes out. It's a semi-thick cream. It's easy to apply and spread out but I find it does set fast.
Now what about it's coverage?

AFTER
The only time when having acne scars is a plus is when doing foundation reviews so you get a better idea of the coverage it gives :P
The coverage is LIGHT as you can see from my acne scar friends still peeking through in the after photo.
That's ultimately what disappointed me about this foundation as I need a medium to full coverage foundation. Because it has sheer coverage, it does feel light on the skin.
The finish is semi-matte and unfortunately, I didn't see it do anything in terms of oil control.
Did it break me out?
This is a crucial question for me in terms of any product.
And,
No it didn't.
Overall Rating: 2/5
It has poor coverage, the lightest shade should be renamed "100 Orange" and it did not live up to its claim of "Up to 12 hours natural shine control".
They should also rename it to a Tinted Moisturiser as that's how it performs really.
Sorry about the negative review =/
Let me know if this product worked for you or not!
And... I'm still on the hunt for my HG high coverage foundation. Hmm... maybe Revlon Colorstay next? ;)
