Review| Rimmel match perfection foundation, stay matt pressed powder and hide the blemish concealer

After seeing these products were on offer in savers a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go ahead and buy them as i needed a new makeup base routine as during the spring/summer months my skin goes from combination to oily and my current base makeup wasn't matt enough.

 
First off, the Rimmel Match perfection Foundation which Can be brought here. This has a medium coverage, which is good as it didn't appear cakey like cheaper brands. I think this matched my skin perfectly and made it appear much brighter. This didn't cover my freckles, which for me isn't a problem, but for others this might be. This did cover my redness well though, considering i didn't use any colour correctors underneath. I liked the packaging as the glass bottle has quite an expensive feel to it. I do however, think it would of been better if you could actually see how much product was left as nothings worse than un-expectantly running out of foundation.


Next the hide the blemish concealer by Rimmel. This costs £4.49 from Superdrug. This is basically your bog standard concealer. You have to be careful with how much you put on (less is definitely more). For me, the only thing that stood out was that it actually matched my skin tone. This isn't the worse concealer you can buy but it definitely isn't the best either. It's just average.

And lastly, the stay matte pressed powder by Rimmel. This cost £3.99 from Superdrug. At first I liked this as it blended well and gave me the matte effect that is so hard with my combination/oily skin but then i realised it was giving me dry patches and making my skin flake off and I soon went off it.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? Feel free to comment below:)
