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.
