I found the Rimmel cool mouse matte "foundation" ver disappointing.I have very pale skin with a lot of redness on my cheeks.I was very optimistic with the Rimmel cool mouse matte "foundation" due to it's thick consistency and the pale shade.However,as soon as i applied the foundation,it dried instantly on my skin making it hard to blend.Furthermore,the foundation felt heavy on my skin which felt as if i was wearing a mask.
Also,the foundation should be labelled as a thick blob of jelly rather than a mousse foundation.
A complete waste of money-will never buy again and i don't recommend Rimmel cool mouse matte "foundation" to anyone.

This "Foundation" is a complete waste of money. Overall application was around 30 minutes by the time I had to remove it twice!!! Used it once and felt uncomfortable leaving the house. I put it in the bin the next day. Max factor colour adapt is the best foundation I have ever used.

This Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse Foundation is great, if you are looking for one that gives high coverage. Many have criticised on how the foundation "was hard to blend in" or "did not look nice afterwards". Yes,I found it a little bit harder to rub in. I found If you use primer before hand or a moisturiser, I had no difficulty blending in at all. Furthermore, after using this product my skin looked completly blemish free and my face looked like it had a natural glow. However, i do agree with some points, the colours are extremely light, i would normally go for the ivory shade. Ive bought two, one in ivory and one in pale biscuit i put the ivory foundation where i have redness and under my eyes and then pale biscuit on the rest of my face.

I have acne and cool matt mousse covers it well. My skin tone is even and my face is smooth. I really like this kind of foundation. Some times it is hard to blend, but I just add a bit of lotion and I am good to go. Color selection is difficult. I am usually the lightest ivory, but with this foundation, I am sad 103.

Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse Foundation is very hard to blend. It doesn't look like your skin... hard to explain.
Even when matched to your skin colour it's still very obvious that you're wearing foundation. It looks almost as if you have talc on your skin :S
it is NOT a mousse. More of an oily thick liquid or jelly foundation =/
after a few hours it had worn off in patches and my skin looked blotchy and nasty. It doesn't really eliminate red tones OR disguise blemishes.
Bad points are not mousse, awful application, not long wearing, smells, pathetic coverage. Disappointed =[

I've read a lot of bad reviews about this product but I actually really like it. The jar states a mousse - but to be specific it is not the exact same consistency as say a chocolate mousse. The texture is light and does have a whipped appearance in the jar. If you shake the small jar around the product does not move put it that way. I have very pale sensitive skin and this product has not irritated my skin at all. The colour is lovely, I find lots of "ivory" products are too orangey and cheap looking. I'll admit after 16 hours I did look a little shiny but I have an oily t-zone so I expect that with every product I use. It did however stay nice for the whole work day (8 hours) which to me is long enough and I didn't need a powder.
In a nutshell it's good value for money, I have actually stopped using my MAC Face and Body foundation ($55) for this product!

Before I tell you about it, I would like to tell that I have used almost every make up product. I got this foundation thinking it to be good, but all my hopes were destroyed as soon as I used it. I got it from super drug it was on sale so I was more convinced to get it. I tried it on and it had a cool feeling but it was not a mousse, it says its mousse but its sort of a liquid foundation, but if it worked I would have not minded that. It is hard to apply as it doesn't blend in evenly, it is very dry and made my skin look patchy. I have a great skin. Smooth, no acne or pimples whatsoever. I only use foundation as a base and have more glow. But this made my skin dry, patchy and uneven. It is the worst foundation I have ever tried in my whole life. I would not recommend it and it has no coverage. I would suggest you get Maybelline matte mousse. Hope this helps

This foundation is ok. Although it doesn't cover spots very well, it works well at evening out uneven skintone, rosy cheeks etc. I find it is only effective if you use with a concealer AND powder. For 5 pounds it is reasonable but i wouldn't recommend it. If you have dry skin it works well but doesn't stay put on more greasy skin. Overall a thumbs down.

Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse Foundation leaves the skin uneven. It doesn't blend with the skin, and it's too visible. It's the worst foundation that I have ever tried. I had to remove it immediately because I couldn't go out with it!
A waste of money!
