Rimmel London Lasting Matte Liquid Foundation is a full coverage foundation that “instantly hides blemishes, spots and dark circles” with a velvet matte powder finish that doesn’t feel cakey.

The main benefit of opting for a matte foundation over a dewy one is that it’s more likely to have staying power, which especially if your skin is on the oily side, is needed if you want your foundation to last all day.

One Boots shopper with oily skin said they are “so happy with this amazing foundation. I have oily skin and large pores and have really had problems in the past with foundations making my face look cakey and making my skin texture seem worse than it really is.

“This foundation has the softest, smoothest texture with full coverage. It stays matte all day and totally conceals my large pores and provides me with a flawlessly smooth finish”.

The most convincing testimony through the results was from someone who wore this foundation through their 14-hour labour and said “this stuff is as tough as the female body.
