Rimmel Matte BB Cream - Light

I am in my late 40s. I have many imperfections (redness on my cheecks and some age marks). I use the light shade (the medium is good for the summer). It has far the best coverage from all BBs I've tried. I use it even as a light concealer under my eyes. At the beginning it feels a bit sticky on the skin but therefore I apply it with my fingertips and then tab it on the skin with my hand palms. I don't make circular motions. I wait a few seconds to absorb. Then I set with powder and I'm ready to go. And the matte formula works well for my mixted skin type.

As it dries and as you're applying it completely flakes off your skin like a layer of dry skin. I've tried mixing with moisturiser, using a beauty blender or brush and nothing works. Also fries quite orange toned and feels very thick and heavy on the skin.

Definetly good if you want some coverage but dont want to wear a foundation. I use this with the wake me up concealer and I love it!
