Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

AWFUL

I'll start with the one positive: it did a half decent job of keeping shine at bay. Now the negatives: didn't keep shine at bay for long enough (4hours max), coverage was rubbish and didn't hide blemishes, Colour is weird, I picked the lightest shade yet it was still too dark - I felt slightly orange. The texture is sticky and it doesn't blend in, I was nearly late for work as I spent so much time blending!! I suffer with bad skin and it felt like it clogged my pores and also emphasized dry skin.... think that's it. It's just a general cheap and nasty foundation, I'm now going to invest in decent make-up AFTER a consultation at a counter and spend that bit extra so my face looks better.
