Verdict

The Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation in Buff is a hit for those with oily skin seeking a budget-friendly way to achieve a flawless matte finish without the caked-on feeling. Keep in mind its lightweight, mousse-like finish does not always match the description due to potential shipping mix-ups, making caution with online purchases a sensible choice. If you have normal or dry skin, you might want to look elsewhere or proceed with skepticism regarding its settling tendencies. This product offers great value and performance, especially if you score the correct formula.
