This powder has been my go too. I always reach for this powder. I use the translucent pressed powder which is great. This powder helps with setting my foundation and concealer in place. It gives my skin a matte looks which is the finish I like. The powder is affordable which is great because make up can get pricey and you can easy find it at the warehouse or kmart. The packaging is plastic however it solid quality and it has not broken on me yet. I take it with me when I travel and has lasted the journey. I apply make up around 3 times a week and it has lasted me for around 3-4 months. Super impressed with this product.

After hearing countless beauty gurus rave about this product I finally picked it up. I was unsure which shade to get but then decided on transparent (because who can go wrong with that?).
This powder has a very nice formula which you can build on if you need. I tend to stick to one small layer since too much of the transparent shade can leave a bit of a white-cast. The powder is great at giving a nice matte finish to dewy foundations and oil. I really do think this powder effects the longevity of my foundation. I use this powder when I play sports (you shouldn't wear foundation when playing sports) and I need the coverage and it makes my foundation/BB cream last.
I would definitely recommend this powder to anyone who has oily skin/foundation that's too dewy for their liking. This product is the best drugstore powder I've tried (and I've tried a lot).
Tips: Tap off excess on your brush to avoid cake face.
Cheap, effective and does what it says. Love this product. My only complaint is the flimsy packaging!
Tips: Make sure you wrap this in cloth or bubble wrap if you chose to travel with it.
This has to be my holy grail when it comes to setting powder. I use the shade 001 transparent. The powder is fine so it doesn't go on cakey and I find one layer will really nicely set my foundation giving a matte finish, I don't like to apply too much as it can leave a white cast if you go overboard. I find this really helps the other products on my face to last throughout the day. I think this product is more suited to oily skin.
The one down fall of thus product is the packing. It is cheap and plasticy and I find my lid always cracks so it's not a product I can throw in the make up bag and take with me when I go out. But hey you can't just a book by its cover right and the product is great.
This product does exactly what it says I couldn't be happier with it if I tried. It gives a nice after look without looking cakey on either a matte or dewy foundation.
As others have said, the packaging is likely to break but I found that if you wrapnit up in tissue or bubble wrap when travelling then it becomes much more stable.
Another point is that it makes the foundation last so much longer as absorbs the oils on your face therefore 'touchups' aren't necessary.
A great buy I'd say and the price is brilliant compared to high end setting powders
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is my holy grail!!! It goes on so nicely and never looks cakey or gross! I have it in translucent and it seems to give me even more coverage and a more flawless finish! I am so obsessed with this product!
As others have said the packaging is a cheap and likely to break - mine is still intact but I can easily see how it would snap!
I could not recommend this enough! It does exactly what it says it will! I have REALLY oily skin and I can go all day without touch ups when I used my stay matte!! LOVE IT
After using MAC studio fix powder and really liking it, I switched to this to see if it lived up to the hype. I'm my opinion it is a dupe for the similar MAC product and is a quarter the price! Great for setting foundation in place too.
I find with other matte powders it can make your face look very powdery and dry, the rimmel stay matte makes your skin look very velvety and soft, love this powder . Need to buy another !!!
One of my fave powders. Def remcommend. Makes makeup last such longer. Definitely prevents shine. Amazing product
I love and adore and will forever repurchase this product. Works well with my combo skin and keeps my makeup where it is meant to be
Tips: Use a brush to pat it onto the skin, not rub :)
