Review: 17 Miracle Matte Foundation

I bought this foundation after running out of my previous bottle of the Rimmel lasting finish 25 hour one, which I thought was great, therefore I was rather hesitant about buying this new foundation, of which I didn't know anything about and had not read any reviews about it!

First of all, priced at £5.99, I found this product very affordable, and the packaging is totes adorable!!  

I struggle to find a foundation that leaves my face shine-free, and lasts all day, and this product did exactly what it says on the tin (please excuse that cheesy sentence)! I have combination skin, and I don't really have time to 'retouch' my makeup during the day, so I was very pleased to find that  when wearing this foundation, I didn't need to! I wear Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Pink Blossom over it, which I think really 'completes' that matte finish.

 

The actual foundation itself is very thick, and must be applied very quickly to avoid it from drying up. I have it in the shade 'fair', which matches my skin tone perfectly! It gave my face an even and blemish-free finish, which lasted all day, which was totally awesome!!

 

Overall, I would recommend that one should try this foundation for themselves, and try not to be put off the product after reading negative reviews. I myself think that this foundation is good, but am not sure if I will repurchase it in the future.
