This powder is such an essential in my beauty bag. I often get oily around my eyelids and forehead and Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent works well to mattify my oily areas without added colour - which is exactly what I want to achieve. I'm not one on spending tonnes of money on transparent powders and Stay Matte does the job and does it well (and is super cheap - I get mine from ASOS!). The pricing in New Zealand, though a bit steep, is still better than other powders which are overly priced yet achieves the same thing. Again, I suggest getting yours from ASOS.com who hold a variety of the shades and sell if for around $8 (plus is always on sale). The powder is very effective and doesn't look like powder when applied on the skin. In fact, it blends effortlessly and disappears completely - only leaving a matte effect on the required parts of my face.
I find that my makeup also stays put (and matte!) throughout the day with very little required touch ups (if ever!). This will depend on how oily your face gets as this will vary among different people.
Overall: love LOVE this powder! I use it every day and endlessly hit pan!
Omgosh I love this powder!! It is so good, i am unsure as to what to say about this that I am sure hasn't already been said. Okay the Rimmel stay Matte range was a really big hit with me, I loved the foundation I have been through tonnes of it but i was slightly reserved about trying the powder so that took me slightly longer to open the purse strings to buy but man i should not have waited that long, it is incredible.
Simple plain packaging which is great for the price because its less than $20 and it is a really good product, not a huge fan of the lid and it kind of just pulls on and off, plus i think would break really easy so that's my down fall but that isn't in the product so that's okay.
The product, i use the transparent colour just as a set for my foundation which has always worked so well, it lasted, i didnt sweat through or anything and it did really stay matte which for me is what i prefer my skin to be, its perfect.
I have since run out of this and have also changed my makeup routine so I think my next purchase will be a coloured one of these and to see how that goes, cause I know the transparent is really good and i would happily suggest to someone to try this, the price is amazing and its a really easy product to get your hands on.
Rimmel done a really good job with this product
