Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Best for : Dry skin

Why : This is extremely hydrating and doesn’t “set” in the same way that a lot of foundations do so I never have to worry about it drying and then gathering and caking around the already dry patches of my skin

Coverage : Medium/full. Although I love the actual coverage, which does a good job of hiding blemishes and dark circles, I’ve also found that this leaves a dewy finish to the skin so if I’m particularly oily (often the case with my annoying t-zone) then I just look greasy. Also tends to sink into my pores after a few hours so if my pores are being problematic and noticeable I definitely don’t opt for this foundation! I like the texture which is seriously creamy and very easy to blend

Price : Around £8.99

Other stuff : The variety of shades available is a bit rubbish. I know this is supposed to adapt to your skin tone and work with your natural colouring but there are only 6 shades available and I dunno about you but I can’t really see how everyone falls into one of only 6 skin colours! The SPF 15 is a nice bonus though :)

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

As a general rule I'll know almost immediately whether or not I'm gonna get along with a new foundation and there's very little grey area; we'll either be arch enemies of BFFs.OMG, did I acutally just say BFF?!? And OMG?!?! Arrrggghh what's wrong with me?! Right, I've officially been spending waaay to much time in front of my computer

Where was I? Oh yes… the foundation. Application is always important to me cos I'm insanely lazy first thing in the morning so I essentially want a foundation that I can throw at my face, rub around a bit and end up with a perfectly blended, flawless look with great coverage. And this delivers. I'd give the coverage 7/10 as it hides my blemishes pretty well and even does a great job evening out the skin tone around my eyes after a late night

Unfortunately the desired effect is short lived because after a few hours I look so greasy you'd think I'd smeared baby oil on my face. I kid you not. I sometimes suffer from a slightly oily t-zone, which kinda sucks but it's no biggy cos it's nothing a little powder wont rectify. However with this foundation my entire face looked oily. To top it off the product had sunk into my pores so they looked like enormous (oil-filled) olympic sized swimming pools. Niiiice

It's a shame really because I had high hopes for this what with Rimmel Lasting Finish being one of the best foundations ever. I have no doubt that someone with dry skin might adore this but if your skin is veering towards oily at all I can't see it working out too well

I reckon I'd happily wear this if I was only heading out somewhere nice for a couple of hours because the colour matches my skin tone perfectly, it's easy to apply and looks absolutely superb for a little while. But as an all day foundation or big night out foundation it just doesn’t cut it

I’d love to hear what you reckon if you've tried this as I haven’t come across any posts on it yet :)

Oh and as for price it’s about £8.99 so wont break the bank but there are far better foundations out there in the same price range! ♥
