“It’s comfortable to wear, without being sticky, and the overall finish is nice – it’s not overly dewy or matte but perfectly in-between, giving a more youthful, healthy and radiant glow.” – Evanescencessy. Read more…
“The formula is spot on – not too thick or runny and the perfect consistency to easily blend in and buff out with a foundation or stippling brush. The smell is really nice and pleasant – fresh and quite fruity – so it doesn’t feel like you’re applying a layer of paint!” – xochristii98. Read more…
“In terms of the shine control, I was very surprised with the length of time it took before I had to powder my face. This is the issue I have with most foundations I try – I get shiny within a couple of hours and I have to touch up my foundation. With this foundation, however, it was a good 4-5 hours before I had to touch up my t-zone.” – Belle88. Read more…

Are you on the hunt for a new foundation? Do you like the sound of the results from the Rimmel London trial?
I didn’t really like the Stay matte.
Wowww would’ve been a dream to trial all of these!
It doesn’t matter how much something costs it’s the result. Something not fancy enough can do the job too.
Mixed reviews but still pretty good.
I often buy Rimmel. I would have loved this trial.
My daughter would have loved this trial.
The outcome is what matters, not the cost of anything. Something simple enough can also accomplish papa’s freezeria the task.
