I haven't seen many reviews on the new-ish Rimmel Match Perfection Blushes and Bronzers
so I thought as I am a curious sausage that the best thing to do would be to pick them up,
test, wear and review them and share it all on here as I so often do!
Rimmel Match Perfection Blushes aren't beautifully packaged - come to think of it I don't really
rank Rimmel that highly on terms of pretty packaging other than a few mascaras from yesteryear.
That being said the case is sturdy enough and the lid screws on rather than simply clasping on,
resulting in the lid/compact being a little more secure.
The case itself is made from sturdy plastic that should survive a bash or two but I would go easy
as the style of this blush reminds me of pressed powders and we have all had a pressed powder
calamity or twelve in my case...my beautiful bags, my beautiful bags!
Speaking of pressed powders the size of this blush is huge at a whopping 15g's,
that is more than double of the Mac Blushes I have just purchased at 6g!
Rimmel Match Perfection Blushes come in two shades Light and Medium.
Each blush in the collection is split into three segments that you could apply separately
if you have a smallish brush or swirl together to create a custom shade
and make full use of the blue sapphire pigment that helps to create an even and natural flush!
The blush does have a slight shimmer effect to it but it is subtle and flattering.
Medium is a medley of two pinks and an ivory tone, separately I do not rate the blushes
as I found them to be slightly chalky but swirled together they form a lovely cool toned berry blush
that I have in good faith that is similar to Benefit's Hervana Blush - I don't own it to compare.
To me it is very similar to Mac's Mocha Blush which is a personal favourite!
To touch the blush is fairly firm but it does pick up well on a brush
and is easily applied, blended out and built up should you require it.
Separately the pigmentation of the shades is best described as mediocre and chalky
but when swirled together I do feel it works so much better, giving a more even finish
that is better pigmented than when used as solo shades.
This blush is best suited to light to medium skin tones as I do not feel there is enough pigmentation present
to properly suit deep skin tones without going ashen which is a shame as it is a pretty shade.
Hopefully Rimmel will add a Deep/Dark option to the duo of shades soon.
In terms of wear this wore really well, without primer it lasted 6 hours on my oily skin
and when primed it stayed put for 8 hours and had potential to last longer should I have needed it.
Have you tried any of the Rimmel Match Perfection Blushes?

Saw this in Boots the other day and was stood oohing and aahing for ages, will definitely have to go back now and get it!xx

I agree it really was a silent launch wasn't it :)
DeleteGreat Review! Very Pretty Colors!
ReplyDeletewow 15g is such great value for money! and it's such a pretty berry shade...Don't really have the pounds and pennies to fork out for hervana but if this is a dupe then I'll try this out instead, cheers for the review, you're right you don't really see much about this product

You are so welcome :) yes it is HUGEEEE haha :) I think it is great how much product you get for the £££ :)
Deletelovely colours but yes i agree about the cheap packaging. suppose it's what's inside that counts :)
ReplyDeleteI agree the packaging is a little meh but you are right we can overlook that as long as the blush is good :)
DeleteI Bought This Exact Blush The Other Week (I Wanted The Light Because Im So Pale But This Looked A Nicer Colour)And The Quality Is Awful I Normally Love Rimmel But Mine Is So Chalky And Goes Everywhere When I Put My Brush On It! The Pigment Isn't Very Good Either And The Lid Broke When I Dropped It:( Maybe I Just Got A Bad One Though?
ReplyDeleteAh no that sucks, the case I'm not all that shocked about as I do think it is not the best thought out in terms of packaging. I agree when applied separately the shades are chalky but once blended together I found mine to be fine...sucks that yours didn't work for you though :(
DeleteI really like the design of this!! It makes it so pretty!!
ReplyDelete❤❤
I agree :)
DeleteI wouldn't normally go for this product purely because I'm a little bit of a packaging snob however it does look very pretty when swatched x
ReplyDeleteI used to be like that too but if you overlook the packaging there is some lovely products to be had out there :)
Deletethis looks beautiful, I'm definately going to have a look for this next time i'm near a Rimmel stand, in comparison to MAC £5.99 is such a bargain! x
ReplyDeletei find that blushes should always come w a mirror! but i do appreciate the slim packaging. id rather have a product play it low in fun packaging than have one that is crazy but ends up w just a small palette
ReplyDeletei love rimmel products! very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have a Rimmel pressed powder that I absolutely love, but I've never tried any of their blushes. This one seems like a good one to try! And you're right, the Rimmel packaging usually isn't very pretty, but I find the products to be great so it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! The three colours are absolutely gorgeous <3
ReplyDeleteLove, Ana
