Review-Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Mousse

Hey everyone!! 

Hope you all had a wonderful week!! Thank goodness for the weekend! 

Today I will be sharing my review of the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Mousse. I am in the shade Ivory. I dabbed the foundation on with my finger tips and then buffed it into my skin using a stipple brush. I also powdered my skin very lightly using a matte translucent powder. 

Overall this is a good medium coverage foundation however I did have a few concerns. First off being that this foundation is not very buildable. If you applied a very thin layer it felt great on the skin but after applying more foundation in the areas that need it, the foundation felt really heavy and almost tacky, like it never properly set or settled into the skin. 

The other thing that I do not like about this foundation is that it clung to dry patches on my face...which I find very astonishing since I always moisturizer before applying anything to my face and I also used a primer. It could have been that I used a powder as well overtop though....I may have to give it another trial run. 

The foundation lasted a decent amount of time, however it did start to fade and rub off around the usual areas such as the nose and chin. Another thing that I did not like was the very limited colour selection. There are only about 8 shades to choose from in this collection, which I think may deter some people to purchase as they won't be able to find their exact shade. I got lucky with finding mine, although my face looks super washed out in the flash(I think it might have been the lighting. 

This picture shows what the foundation looks like in flash photography...well on me anyway...I'm not that great at taking these photos. 

This photo shows in natural lighting, however the last picture is just with my bathroom light on because it was 11pm. 

Again I will say that overall this is a good foundation. I probably won't use it much except for those days when my skin is really behaving, but it is a good foundation to have. I also have dry to combination skin so I usually never have a problem with getting shiny throughout the day, however if you have oily skin this may be a good everyday foundation for you as it is oil free and shine free. 

I hope this review helped some of you if you were thinking about purchasing this from your local drugstore. 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I will have a new post up on Monday!! 

Take care! <3 Xo
