Stay Matte Foundation by Rimmel

This was the worst foundation I ever tried. Its really heavy, doesn't look nowhere near natural. Tried to apply with brush and with sponge but it's just doesn't look and feel good. Bought it by recommendation and was really disappointed. Only one good thing about it is price.

I'm all for a matte look when it comes to my foundation as I really cannot stand feeling like I look oily, however this was taking it a tad too far. I bought this product from boots about 3 weeks ago as I love the matte look thought I would give it a try however the process of it being applied on to my face was horrendous and required maximum effort. My beauty blender just wouldn't blend it in at all so I had to use a thick buffing brush it left the brush clumpy and in definite need of a clean and it made my spots really stand out which is something I am really self conscious of. The thought of adding powder on after wards was a complete no go it was far to thick and heavy weight.

This is a full coverage foundation that has the texture of putty. It was quite a struggle to apply, not suitable for a beauty blender, I ended up using a buffing brush. It’s incredibly matte finish didn’t even need a powder, so if you love matte foundation maybe it’s for you. I hated the texture and the effort involved applying it

I purchased this foundation based on a recommendation from a family-member that it was wonderfully high coverage. I was going through a terrible time with acne so this was music to my ears. Unfortunately this foundation felt heavy - almost like I was putting putty on my face - and broke me out worse than any other foundation ever had. This was one of those products that would create more blemishes, so that you would need to add more product - and so the cycle continues.

I bought this without much expectation due to it being so cheap. But i was very very shocked to find that it is so so nice on my skin. I have very oily skin and it is so hard to find a foundation that actually last throughout the day. This one feels so matte on my face although it does take forever to dry if it isn't baked. Overall, the price is great, the formula is defo full coverage and it is great for oily skin. Only problem is you cant reapply it during the day over powder as the foundation clumps and peels off.

Probably the worst foundation I’ve put on my skin. I don’t have extremely dry skin but when I applied this OH MY GOD.. it clinged to every tiny bit of dry skin I had, dried up on my fore head around my scalp making my skin look awful and around my eyes it just melted off. Can’t say I’ll be buying this EVER again.

This foundation is really good, coverage is brilliant and feels nice on, not too heavy. Really impressed for the price.

This isn't a bad foundation. It does provide pretty good coverage but after a while starts to look cakey and feels heavy on the skin. It clings to dry patches.

This product is so good for light toned skin I recommend it for everyone. It spreads perfectly and you only need a tiny amount

I always have the lightest shade in foundation but this was almost a white/pink colour and very odd. The next shade up would be too orange. The product itself seems have to have okay coverage but sinks into pores/lines and was quite patchy even using my BB.

this product is very good coverage, but yet again can be cakey and sink into lines on the face if you use to much product. This foundation also is a pinky colour in the light shade so i would recommend going for a darker colour. All in all it is a good foundation, good for all skin types. I would also recommend you apply this using a brush or beauty blender as using your hands can be quit streaky.

I really recommend this product. I have oily combination skin and this still manages to 'mattify' my skin

covers my face beatifully leaves it looking healthy and smooth and my boyfriend can't even tell i have it on ! Natural and fantastic ... recomended to my friends and they went and brought it my fave foundation LOVE IT <3

ive been using this for around 2 years now and i love it, i wouldnt say its full coverage, id say its about medium coverage, its not too cakey but it can be depending on how much you use.

The consistency was to thick and it made my skin look even worse because it looked so cakey and it was very heavy on my face and because of that I did not like it.

Yes, it is full coverage - however the product is very creamy and thick so feels extremely heavy on the skin. It cakes up really easily and is hard to blend into the skin due to how thick it is.

This foundation has a really high coverage and is great for oily skin but can cling to dry patches. The lightest colour is a great colour as it is not orangey and really pale (like me). I would recommend it as a high coverage foundation.

Finally, I have found a foundation that is FULL COVERAGE! This covered every mark and spot on my face. Perfect for oily/combination skin. This is such a thick foundation but sits lightly on the face. Only one application needed otherwise it could get cakey. So impressed and so cheap for a great quality. I wouldn't recommend for dry skin. Although, let down by the shade range.

I love this foundation. very matte and great for oily skin. Has i think the palest shade I have ever seen in my foundation testing experience. I bought it thinking i'm normally quite pale, but it was so pale i looked ill aha. Lost lasting wear and great application. recommend applying with a beauty sponge.

This is my everyday foundation and it is incredible. Not only does it last all day but it is matte and I have oily skin. I would not even consider changing my foundation as the colour is a perfect match. It is also really easy to blend and does leave brush lines on your face. It is quite a high coverage foundation but can be applied lighter too- it is my favourite foundation!
