Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation in 100 Ivory |
Retails for $4.97US or $7.99CAN as most drugstores. I got the third shade as the first two lighter shades 010 Light Porcelain and 091 Light Ivory are BOTH pink based. >_< Thankfully they do have testers for this line to test the shades out before you purchase. ;)
Product:
VERY matte build-able coverage cream foundation. It's almost concealer like but still lighter in texture. It is a dryer product/finish then a liquid foundation.
While working with it in sticks to any and all dry spots I didn't realise I had on my forehead as well. Again I highly recommend exfoliating first before applying just in case.
I also found it texturized any fine hair on the face with a brush but using a sponge like a beauty blender soften that up or your fingers.
Because this one so matte I found it texturized my normal to dry skin. Even with w setting powder I use to defuse the texture and pores I could still see the texture.
I also used it with mixing Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 01 White for my cosplay test (overheating in your clothes/sun tests lol). I still found the foundation very dry looking despite the fact that Skin Base has a dewy finish. In photography, it still looks great though so not complaints there.

Coverage was good. I took out my redness, unevenness and any blemishes I had. My freckles are gone as well on my right side.
Colour:
100 Ivory is a neutral light shade that leans a touch pink.
Wear: I got 18 hours in in one day during the heat and humidity without fading. It's stick really well.
Packaging: A simple squeeze tube!
Compare:
Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation is a similar product but I found that this Rimmel version is a lot drier looking on the skin.
Revlon Color Stay Whipped Creme Makeup foundation I found was also a touch more forgiving on the skin compared to Rimmel's but still drier looking than the Tarte's.

Verdict:
If you have dry skin however, this is a pass of use a silicone based primer. It's very dry looking on the skin otherwise but for those with normal to oily skin will love this.
That my personal disappointment because I wasn't to get a low-end foundation to replace my Tarte one. Tarte is still a winner for me though for shade.
I bought one of these a couple of months ago since it was on sale at 50% off making it less than $3 and then when I got home and used it, I loved it so much I went back and bought 4 more tubes at the sale price! It has great coverage. I found that it is very buildable though and can get quite heavy on like a stage makeup but with a beauty sponge I can get a soft airbrushed look and no texture, with a brush or my fingers I get a heavier texturized coverage like seen in your photo. This stuff lasts all day on my face. I don't use it for summer since a simple BB cream is plenty, but come this fall and winter I will be reaching for this foundation again. I love this stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is I also used a beauty sponge and there was still texture to the finish. Brushes never work for these types of foundation I found. ;)
DeleteIt looks very dry, indeed...I don't like these dry foundations on my skin either, even though I got combination-oily skin....could be cause I happen to have flaky skin(weird, I know, cause I'm oily, but true) but even when after I exfoliate a lot I dislike the look of very matte foundations on me so I use semi-matte ones mixed with dewy ones and just blot a lot, reapply and powder. The only totally matte one I use is Vichy's Dermablend, but I always mix it with smth else and I mostly use it on very red spots, my dark circles and on my nose cause that's where the coverage firstly goes away. I think you look cuter without it ^_^ your skin is clear :)
