Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Reviews

I believe this is a good foundation for people with possibly oily, combination or even normal skin. It provides a great coverage and doesn't feel too heavy on the face. However, it does cling to dry patches so I do agree with all the above reviews in saying that it would not work for dry skin. I like this foundation and I believed it looked good on my skin.

This was the first foundation I ever purchased myself and I swore by it for my oily and hormonal teenage skin. Now I look back and I can see that even the lightest shade was a tad too orange for my skin tone but it wasn’t too noticeable. This foundation dries quickly, maybe it’s just my skin, but I had to work in areas and not apply the foundation all at once otherwise it would dry out before I blended it.

This is a good foundation if you are looking for medium coverage and have sensitive skin, as I found it didn't make my skin break out like alot of other foundations do.
Unfortunately it leaves a very pale tone on the skin which isn't very flattering.
For the price, it's defiantly worth trying out but I won't be repurchasing as I prefer my foundations to have a yellow-based tone as to not make my skin look washed out.

This was one of my first foundation purchases, and I have kept it as a staple in my makeup kit for the last few years. I use the shade 100 Ivory and while I know it's probably slightly lighter than my skin tone, I have found that it's best use for me is as a base, especially on my neck area where I am a little paler. Then I use another darker foundation on top to blend and achieve my skin tone.
As the name suggests, it has a mouse consistency and spreads quite easily. I'm pleased with the coverage it provides- like a blank canvas on which to build my makeup. I find that it works well with my skin, which can be slightly oily, and after a whole day my skin still maintains a more matte appearance.
I'm sure there is a more perfect foundation for me on the market but for now, I'd rather stick with something familiar that seems to work relatively well.

I purchased this after hearing the rave on it on YouTube. It is definitely a good foundation for its price. I've had a hard time finding budget foundations that actually work to their full extent for me.
Rimmel Stay Matte does not cake, streak or melt from my experience, even in slight humidity. I was even able to successfully apply it with my fingertips without the coverage looking bad.

I would not recommend this foundation, however, if you have even the slightest of dry skin, unfortunately it sticks to dry skin, badly, so definitely not for dry skin. Otherwise I can safely say I was very happy with this product, it stayed put most of the day, at the end of the day it I've only ever noticed slight "movement" of my foundation, and mainly only if I've been really busy or hot.

I can't rave enough about this product!

I have an extremely oily t-zone and it makes my makeup clump and look very unflattering but this foundation is the first I have used that is full coverage, super easy to apply and makes my skin appear clear and flawless!

The only thing I would watch out on is the colour you purchase as the first time I bought this was at Woolworths and i was way too dark for me so I had to keep mixing it each time with a lighter foundation and blend to the max. Other than that, the foundation is definitely my go to product

Rimmel Stay Matte liquid mousse foundation in color 103 True Ivory is my go to foundation. It is a full coverage foundation that has a flawless natural coverage, a perfect matte finish with no unnatural shine or weird texture, it is oil free and feels lightweight on your skin. Even being a full coverage thicker foundation it doesn't make your skin look or feel cakey. What I love about this foundation is that it blends really well (especially using it in addition to a beauty blender type sponge- I use Real Techniques complexion sponge) and it stays put all day. After a long day at work I don't have to come home and worry about finding my foundation smudged all over my face. In addition to this for the pale girls like me I know Rimmel will always have my back, and the foundation matches my skin tone (which is really hard for pale people- believe me). Another massive positive is that this foundation is really cheap, this page says $14.95 but stores usually say the RRP is $19.95 (still well below most other foundation brands) also its not uncommon to pick it up on sale paying anywhere from $12-$9. Not only is it really affordable but you can get it from any of the big supermarkets such as coles and woolies, as well as the chemist, big w, target, etc.

This is one of the first foundations I have ever used and for a long a while, as I was just beginning to learn about makeup, this suited me perfectly. After a while, I began to notice here and there things that weren’t working so well with this foundation. It does live up to its promise of being matte foundation and for the price, it’s of relatively good quality, which is why it has become a popular choice amongst oily skinned people on a budget. However, I found that this foundation tends to oxidise into an orangey shade a couple of shades darker as the day progresses. As well, it has thick and dry feel which has made it slightly difficult to blend out. I often found it drying too fast for me to apply resulting in that awkward patchy and cakey look especially if you pair it with the matching “Stay Matte” primer. And because of the thick formula, it can also feel a little heavy on your face. If you’re not fussy about your foundations and are looking for something cheap, it’s the best in its price range. However, if you like a flawless look and are willing to spend some more money, there are others out that will suit you better. Also, there isn’t a large colour range, so it can be hard to find the right shade, especially if you have darker skin.

This is my go-to foundation. It gives a nice full coverage, and is long lasting. I use this foundation daily, and suggest that a little goes a long way as it is a quite thick formula. I have tried a few different matte foundations and find this one to be one of the best as it does last quite well on the face. This foundation does give you value for money, it does have a very low end price point which only makes this foundation more attractive (personally). It covers my pimples and scarring very well, and eliminates the need for concealer. I do sometimes add a powder over the top to set it. This is a really good one stop product.

The downfalls for this foundation, is that if you use too much it can appear cake, and the product does settle in my creases and create cracks (which can be eliminated with a good powder). Lastly, it sometimes oxidises and goes a little orangey, but for the price you pay you can't complain!
