Create a smooth, even complexion with Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation 081 Fair Ivory SPF20, a lightweight liquid foundation designed to provide buildable coverage and a natural finish. With SPF20 for added daily protection, it's a practical choice for everyday makeup routines.

Quick Overview

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation 081 Fair Ivory SPF20 is a lightweight liquid foundation formulated to help even out skin tone while maintaining a fresh, skin-like appearance. Shade 081 Fair Ivory is designed for fair complexions and offers buildable medium coverage, making it suitable for both minimal daytime makeup and slightly fuller looks.

Its blendable formula glides smoothly over the skin to help reduce the appearance of redness, minor blemishes, and uneven tone without creating a heavy or cakey finish.

Benefits

Choosing the right foundation isn't only about coverage—it should also feel comfortable throughout the day and complement your natural complexion. This foundation is designed to create an even-looking base without making the skin appear overly made up, making it well suited for work, university, or casual everyday wear.

Its buildable formula gives you flexibility to apply a lighter layer for a fresh daytime look or add extra coverage where needed without immediately creating a thick finish. For users concerned about oxidation, performance may vary depending on individual skin chemistry, skincare products, and environmental conditions.

Ingredients & Formula Highlights

Rather than relying on a heavy formula, this foundation is designed to provide balanced coverage with a lightweight feel.

Formula highlights include:

• SPF20: Helps provide additional protection against everyday UV exposure.
• Lightweight Colour Pigments: Designed to create natural-looking, buildable coverage.
• Blendable Liquid Texture: Helps the foundation spread evenly across the skin.
• Comfort-Focused Formula: Designed to minimise the feeling of heavy makeup during daily wear.

As product formulations may vary between countries and manufacturing updates, always check the packaging for the latest ingredient list before use.

How to Use

1. Cleanse and moisturise your face before applying makeup.
2. Apply a primer if desired to create a smoother base.
3. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand.
4. Blend evenly across the face using a makeup sponge, foundation brush, or clean fingertips.
5. Build additional coverage only in areas where extra correction is needed.
6. Finish with setting powder or setting spray if preferred.
7. During the day, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as SPF20 alone should not replace dedicated sun protection.

Tip: Apply foundation in thin layers rather than one thick layer for a more natural-looking finish.
