Rimmel Match Perfection: Review

 I have been on a hunt since I started wearing make up to find an actual shade that matched my skin tone without being too pale or too dark, and it hasn't been until the last few months that I can say, after six or so years, I might actually have it! I'm a very pale person (even when I wear fake tan sometimes it looks like I have a natural skin tone) and I feel like nothing is ever light enough!

I recently picked up Rimmels Match Perfection foundation in the shade 100 Ivory and to my absolute pleasure it matched my skin more amazingly than any other foundation I've tried. This foundation really seems to last pretty well throughout the day without flaking off or rubbing off in certain places and doesn't wear off around my mouth when I eat which is a problem I've had with a lot of foundations recently.

One big plus for this foundation is also the fact that it's only €9.99 in most stores (It's €6.99 in Penneys/Primark if you're lucky enough to have one that stocks it) and it has an SPF of 18 which is lovely (I don't find any flashback with this foundation either! Thumbs up!). It comes in eleven different shades which I think is a pretty decent amount to please a majority of the public. I'm surprised I haven't heard more people raving about this!

Match Perfection look so beautiful on the skin with or without a powder because its a "light perfecting radiance foundation" and it's build-able too. I can get a really nice natural looking coverage with a small amount of product which is why I love it for my "no make up make up" days, build it up to a more medium coverage for day to day or I can make it full coverage for a night out. I also love the versatility of this when it comes to colour matching when I use fake tan, I find that even when I'm between tanning and it's a few days after application Ivory seems to match well with both my semi-tanned skin and my natural pale self and that saves both money and effort! (Even though I have this foundation in three different shades) 

Edit: More on the longevity of this product, today I was running some errands in town so I had applied a sheer to medium coverage base with concealer and a powder over the top, I then went to the gym and didn't get to take off any of my foundation because I had forgotten any wipes or cleansing waters (oops!) and worked up a real sweat with 40 minutes of cardio, I topped up any redness with some concealer on my cheeks but left it at that, I then came home and did some Insanity abs and then got a shower (don't judge me) after all that sweat and wear throughout the day I can safely say that it's lasted super well. The only problem I see is some creasing under the eyes which I'm not entirely sure is down to the foundation or the concealer I'm using!
