The blendable, full-coverage foundation that keeps oily skin in check
Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this oil-controlling foundation
The product
There is no better feeling than nailing the perfect base; but, by comparison, there is also no worse feeling than the inevitable 3pm oil slick that destroys said perfect base and leaves you looking like a greasy mess.
Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation gives you the best of both worlds.
The full-coverage foundation has a buildable and blendable, oil-controlling formula that keeps your base looking ace ALL DAY.
Our panel of Review Crew® testers put this foundation to the test.
The panel
Beauty Crew sent Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation to a panel of women aged between 16 and 39 with combination, oily and acne-prone skin, that wanted a foundation that would keep excess oil at bay and last all day.
The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about Rimmel London Lasting Matte Foundation.
The long-lasting formula: Review Crew® members were very impressed with the foundation’s staying power, stating that it held up throughout their busy work days.
The lightweight, mousse-like texture: Reviewers loved the lightweight formula, with many praising how blendable the foundation was; and unlike other matte foundations they’d tried, it didn’t feel heavy on the skin.
The natural-looking full-coverage finish: Our members really like the buildable formula that allowed them to achieve a full-coverage finish without looking cakey. Some members also noted that throughout the day the formula didn’t cake up or separate – their complexion continued to look natural and fresh from morning to evening.
Good to know: Some reviewers found the formula set pretty quickly, so we'd recommend applying the foundation area-by-area and blending immediately after applying.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
