I was very excited to find out that I was chosen by Influester to test Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation from Rimmel London. I hate shine. Living in Florida it is often hard to avoid. Think humidity. That with my true combination skin . . . shine shine shine!
I received Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation in shade 203 - True Beige. The first thing I did was open the tube to give it a sniff. I can't have something on my face that has a strong scent. Safe. It has just a light kind of powder scent. Once on, it is not noticeable after a few minutes.
The real test. I applied it with just my fingertips. It is thicker than I am used to but it glides right on and spreads easily. No sticky, tacky, or greasy feel. On my skin it is actually lightweight feeling. I don't feel like something is on my skin. It's buildable so the coverage can be sheer or full. Flaws and pesky pores disappear. I find the finish to be like I've used powder. Saves me a step there. Here it is and I'm loving the look!
After a full day I found it really helped control shine. I didn't look like an oil slick or have to blot. This foundation does have a bit of a drier feel to it I believe from the matte properties. If you have dry or flaky skin, definitely apply a moisturizer first and let it absorb for a few minutes before applying Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. My only complaint is that is does not have SPF. Otherwise, it's a great product for those needing a foundation with shine control.
