I got mine at Boots and at the time of purchase it was Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price on all makeup so I got this for less than €4. Just a little note that the shades start at 010 Light Porcelain as opposed to some of the Rimmel foundations which start at 100 Ivory. Rimmel's Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation is available in 6 shades.

The fact that it is a tube aswell is a big plus for me because it's easy to use and I feel I get to use all the product up as I can give it a good squeeze when it gets to the end. Usually I hate matte packaging because the product from your hands usually clings to it but this one can be easily wiped down and it doesn't stain the tube. The packaging feels almost matte which I thought was a really cool little touch seems as this is a matte foundation. Not the most exciting I have ever seen but none the less I love that it is a very compact little tube that won't take up too much room in your makeup bag. I also have to give some props to the packaging.

I used Mac's Mineralized Skin Finish Natural which is a very light powder which, if worn with another non matte foundation I would be an oily mess in a few minutes so it's not that the powder is doing the work but I just think that the foundation needs a little bit of help for it do it's job best. I don't use a matifying powder over the top of this. When I applied this foundation and set with powder I felt like it washed my skin out completely because it was so matte but once I added blush, bronzer and some highlight I really did like the look of my skin and it stayed in place with absolutely no touch ups for at least 6-8 hours which is pretty cool for such an inexpensive product. If you used a mattifying primer underneath and topped it with powder it would work well but that may be matte overload for some people.

I am not sure that this would control shine for really oily skin though, it would help mattify it for a certain amount of time but as far as shine free skin all day long.I am not so sure. I have combination skin so my face isn't ultra oily but I would definitely see shine creeping through around my T-zone with other foundations. For best results you should apply a small amount to the back of your hand, dab it with your brush like I did in the above picture to soften the product and then work it well into the skin. Also, because the foundation is thick if you use a regular foundation brush it will leave brush marks on your face.not a good look. I don't feel the regular foundation brushes do this well so if you have a kabuki/buffing brush use this or alternatively use your clean fingers. The main reason for this is when you squirt some product out it is quiet thick and needs to be worked well into the skin. I don't like to use it with a normal foundation brush though. I do feel that this foundation would work just as well with your clean fingers. To apply this foundation I used Sigma's F80 flat top Kabuki Brush or Real Techniques Buffing brush from the Core Collection and both worked well. It also contains gel emulsifiers so this adds extra blend-ability!!!ĭab it with your brush to soften the product before applying to the face The texture is kind of mousse like and feels soft and almost fluffy once you work the product into the skin. It blends really well onto the skin with no effort at all. However, I must add that it doesn't cake half as much as some other, more expensive matte foundations!! As for the cakeless this is true for the most part although I did notice that it does cling to my drier areas like the area around my nose.

The after picture above is me with just this foundation on and nothing else!!! I needed very little concealer to hide my pigmentation and blemishes after using this. You need a really tiny amount to cover the entire face.

I was actually really surprised at how light it feels as the coverage can be built up to be medium/heavy coverage(but not full coverage). It definitely feels weightless on my skin.

Well, it doesn't keep my skin 100% shine free on it's own but to help it stay matte for longer I do powder over it because I noticed that when I didn't I seen some shine creeping through around 11am (applied it at 8am). Rimmel claims that the new Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation "leaves skin shineless yet feels weightless & cakeless" Sounds like the perfect Matte foundation right? I did try the original Stay Matte foundation (which is still available in shops so don't get confused) and wasn't too gone on it but when I seen that they had launched a new addition to the Stay Matte collection but this time in a Liquid Mousse formulation I was eager to try. One of my all time favourite powders is Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder.
