First of all, I received my second Influenster VoxBox! I loved my first and finally qualified for another program! This one is called "The Rimmel Stay Matte VoxBox." We were told that we'd receive a Stay Matte foundation by Rimmel London.
(Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes.)
I will be honest: I was a little nervous about getting foundation, since I'm Korean and seem to have a hard time matching my skin to liquid foundations. I took the longest time to pick out which shade might be right for me and was worried I picked the wrong one...more on that later!
Without further ado, here's my Rimmel Stay Matte VoxBox!

I was asked to answer the following questions:
- Is this foundation feather light?
- Is this foundation comfortable on your skin?
- Does this foundation blend flawlessly?
- Does this foundation minimize the appearance of your pores?
Here's what I thought:
- This foundation is amazingly light! I usually use Bare Escentuals foundation and I actually feel that this foundation is lighter than BE. And a fraction of the cost!
- I wore this foundation and due to the lightness, didn't feel like I had makeup caked on my face. Such a good feeling.
- This foundation blended pretty well- I used a foundation brush but buffed it out a bit with my fingers and a larger brush. I only used a tiny bit of my BE Mineral Veil over the top since the coverage was good.
- My pores aren't too big normally but I feel that this did a good job of minimizing pores. I sometimes feel that liquid foundation can actually highlight larger pores but don't feel that Stay Matte did this- so that's a win!
All in all, I would recommend this product to my readers. I have recently fallen in love with Rimmel products (I'm also a huge fan of their matte lipsticks) and love that their products are affordable and yet high quality.
Here's some tips for matte makeup:
Here's some tips for matte makeup:
- Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! Do this before putting any makeup on.
- Use toner if you'd like- it disinfects your pores.
- Use a mattifying powder if you'd like as well before applying concealer.
- Use concealer on those trouble spots with a concealer brush or your fingertip.
- Apply Rimmel Stay Matte foundation with a foundation brush or your fingers (brush is more sanitary of course)
- Set with finishing powder if desired!
