Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

Hello there! Today, I will be talking about the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour with Comfort Serum Foundation. I got mine in the shade 400 Natural Beige. Last time, I tried their Match Perfection Foundation in the same shade and I really like it a lot. So I decided to crack this open, and see if I have the same feeling. I have been using the foundation for the whole month of May, and I think I can give you a proper review on it. 

First up is the packaging, like the latter foundation I have tried, this too comes in a glass bottle with a pump on it. I have no complains about it except that I think this will add weight into my makeup bag whenever I travel with it. 

As for the consistency, Lasting Finish is slightly thicker compared to Match Perfection. In terms of its finish, this foundation dries to a semi matte. Unlike the Match Perfection, which I normally used my fingers to dabbed the product in, Lasting Finish needs a brush to apply as I noticed that whenever I used with my fingers, it does not apply as smoothly as the latter foundation. 

I would say this foundation has a medium to full coverage. It does a pretty decent job in covering up my blemishes. You can definitely build this up to get the coverage you desire. As for shade 400 Natural beige, it's a little bit too cool tone for me. To counteract the pink tone, I have to powder my face, and you all know I hate to do that as it makes me look cakey. 

Do also take note that this foundation is sticky to touch after each application. Again, I got no choice but to powder my face to reduce the stickiness. In true honesty, I hate the look of my skin I get straight off after applying the foundation, however after a few hours of wearing it I came to like how the foundation looks on my skin maybe it's due to the fact that it mixes with the oil in face. I know this sounds disgusting, but I know there are some of you out there who agrees with me.

Does it live up to the 25 Hours Claim? Of course not! But I noticed that after about 6-7 hours of wear out, there is still foundation left on my skin which is quite surprising, seeing as how oily I can get throughout the day, and the fact that I live in a humid country. I was quite pleased with the longevity.

To conclude, I would only wear this if I'm going to be out all day under the hot sun or else, I will be sticking with my Match Perfection as my everyday foundation. For the price point, this is definitely worth the try.
