Long lasting and good value for money. Easy to apply. Gives a matt finish. Simple, practical packaging
Weakest points
Coverage was erratic. Deteriorated after 3 hours
Summary
After my disaster with the Rimmel Stay Mat Pressed Powder, sadly the performance did not increase much with the liquid foundation. It definitely mattifies and is easy to apply. It has a light texture and does not crack or cake, however, the coverage was erratic at best. In some areas of my face it seemed to give a great flawless look, whilst in others it looked, barely there and my imperfections showed through. I also noted that the foundation had deteriorated after 3 hours of wear and in some areas it was like I had never applied it. This would be ideal for a non blemished but oily skin but for those with bigger, more visible areas of concern I would not recommend

I found this foundation really good.
It covered my skin really well and was not thick or heavy.
Left a great flawless finish and face did not look shiny.

i used this when i ran out of my usual foundation
it covered ok and done the job but needs to be used with a primer to give it staying power
it is ok to use for a short amount of time until you get your usual foundation
great price though
