Drugstore makeup is seriously on point recently. Every new product I've tried over the past few weeks I've really loved, including this new foundation from Rimmel that I picked it up as a part of a haul a few weeks back.
After trying this foundation via magazine samples I decided to purchase in full (and in the correct colour). I'm surprisingly really impressed with it. At first the whole "liquid mousse" aspect didn't appeal to me. It screamed cake face and just a nightmare to blend. However it is really nice. The coverage is medium to full and very build able. It will cover everything if you want it too which I love! Due to the thick consistency (it is a mousse, after all) make sure you blend well as it will become cakey and noticeable if you don't. I recommend using a dense stippling brush instead of your fingers or a sponge as it is quite thick. However it doesn't feel heavy or unbearable to wear - it's super lightweight.
If you have oily skin this will be perfect as it does mattify the skin completely. As someone with combination skin I didn't feel the need to set it with powder as it really does de-shine the face. The shine control aspect seems to work as natural oils weren't visible until the six hour mark.Colour shades are limited however I do think if you mix various shades you'll get a good match. This foundation only costs £6.99 which is insanely cheap for such a good product. Drugstore foundations seem to be improving drastically recently. I haven't use my two high end favourites Esteé Lauder double wear or Laura Mercier silk creme in months. The dilemma of choosing which foundation to apply in the morning gets harder and harder...
