Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

My favorite foundation - ever!

It can't get much better than this foundation. It is cheap (like 6 bucks!) and it is a blessing for my oily skin. It is comparable to my Smashbox tinted moisturizer, just less oily. The coverage is about the same (which is great for me - I like the lighter coverage, I use concealer on my dark circles anyways) but this foundation keeps me from looking like an oil slick by the end of the day! I still have to blot occasionally if I am outside in the heat all day but this stuff stays put and looks amazing on. I love the texture of it, SO silky (like I said - comparable to my Smashbox tinted moisturizer). All in all, my favorite everyday wear foundation. Cheap, looks great on, doesn't wash me out, and keeps my oily face much matte-er (is that a word?!?) than any foundation I have used. One thing to note - I use Sand which is the darkest shade I have found in stores, it matches my skin as long as I am rocking a tan (I am caucasian but get pretty tan in the summer). With that being said, if you are dark skinned I think there is more color selections on the website, so that may be a slight inconvenience. Either way, I still love it!!
