I've never tried Rimmel foundations prior to trying this one, so I wasn't sure what to really expect. Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever be buying a Rimmel foundation ever again thanks to the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation!
Let's talk about the packaging first. I actually enjoy it as it's small and compact and great for traveling. The product doesn't come out too fast and it's easy to control. It's also so cute, right?
I with the product was as great as the packaging. The consistency of this foundation is pretty thick and creamy. For me, this indicates that it's going to be medium to full coverage. I would compare the consistency to Revlon's Whipped foundation (which is my HG foundation). I immediately thought "Awesome! It's going to be just like my favorite foundation but have a matte finish." Once I started putting the foundation on, my hopes were sadly wrong. :(
I have dry-combination skin and boy did this foundation enhance the dryness to the extreme. The foundation stuck to my dry areas and also made my pores look HUGE. I've never had a huge problem with my pores, other foundations have been pretty good about minimizing them. Unfortunately, this foundation enhanced them like I've never seen before.
Definitely not a foundation for anyone that has remotely dry skin in the slightest. Don't even try layering this foundation if you want the full coverage because it becomes really cakey looking. I understand when you wear foundation it's not going to look 100% natural, but this foundation made it clearly apparent that you are wearing something on your face.
I tried using different primers underneath to see if this would help smooth my skin out enough for the foundation to lay on top of it and not cling to my dry spots. That was a major fail and I've come to the conclusion that this foundation just DOES NOT work for me at all.
So to all you girls out there with dry-combination skin, I suggest you stay far away from this foundation as it will do nothing but enhance your dryness!
