Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Review

Rimmel London released a new foundation that promises to be "feather light", control shine all day, minimize pores and "blend flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish". 

While the packaging doesn't have much sex appeal, it does make a fantastic travel companion and is easy to use. Besides, it is what is on the inside that counts, right?


I always think it's best to give new things a try independently to really know how well you will be treated! So no primer, concealer, or finishing powder! 

Freshly Cleansed Face-left   Half product- middle    Full face-right

The texture is just like mousse, dense but light and glides on like a dream. Redness? Covered. 

 I did notice slight clinging to small dry blemishes, but nothing too noticeable. 
Perfect finish, matte and lightweight. 

3 hours later                                           8 hours later
 

Almost half way through the day, still flawless!

Towards the end of the day some redness began to peak through. Still not shiny or greasy feeling!

I'm sure with primer and setting powder/spray this foundation would last through the day. I could also pair this with the stay matte cake powder for touch ups throughout the day.

Pros:
light weight
full coverage
minimizes pores
natural finish
stays matte all day
blends seamlessly
Inexpensive
Tube packaging
mousse texture

Cons:
splotchy at 8 hours
only 8 shades to choose from
no deep shades 
clings to dry patches

Definitely a keeper!
