Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

Was introduced to this a few years ago and love it, it's cheap and readily available in stores like the ware house. I never leave home without powder as I get red in the face easily through the day and night and this helps a lot. It's def up there with my favourite powders

Definitely gives some more expensive products a run for their money. I would say it works just as well as MAC powders I've used. Though it does leave me a little bit shiny on the nose (I've yet to find a powder that can prevent that), it works a charm on my face. It provides good coverage and keeps me matte for a good 10 hours without touch ups.

My only complaint is that it doesn't have that many shades in tbe range. Being a Pacific Islander, it would be nice to find something that caters more to my skintone when I'm darker.

I got this powder in a recent BBBE and I was pretty excited to get this product as j use a translucent powder almost everyday. My skin is combination oily so I have to set my foundation with powder otherwise it melts away during the day. This powder is fantastic at setting your foundation and giving it a matte finish.

This powder is meant to be translucent and I think it is. I wouldn't say the shade is clear, as that's what I think of when I think if translucent. But it's more of a light, off beige/slight pink shade. It doesn't come off too light or washed out as it went over my foundation nicely. However, if you have a dark skin tone then this may be too light for you.

I would say this powder lasts a good six hours. I can feel my foundation wearing off in the afternoon, so I should probably reapply at this stage. This powder is also a pressed powder and I use a brush (real techniques powder brush). The product is easy to pick up with my brush and it is also easy to apply without ruining or messing up my foundation.

Overall this is a really good product and j would purchase it again.

Absolutely love this powder! It's easily accessible, really affordable and lasts a long time!

I have combination skin, and, at first, I was wary of this product because of the title "Stay Matte". But I can use this powder to set my whole face and it gives it a matte appearance without drying my face out at all.

Definitely recommend this powder, for all skin types!

This powder and I have gone through thick and thin together. I have used it pretty much non stop for a year. I love it - it's fresh and light, it doesn't cake up at all, its affordable, it's easily accessible you can find it at The Warehouse and Farmers... It's all I want in a powder!

I typically use it to set my concealer and my T - zone because I get really oily there. However it does not keep me matte all day (maybe around 4-6 hours) but it does a great job of setting my makeup.

The only cons of the product is the packaging. Mine is extremely scratched and battered as the plastic case breaks pretty easily. Apart from that it's really good, I mean who cares about the packaging when the powder is bomb

I've been using this product to set my foundation for as long as I can remember. It doesn't make my foundation look cakey, and helps it to last well throughout the day. I also love the fact that it's drug store and super affordable. I have quite normal skin and it stays matte all day on me - not sure how it would work on oily skin.

This powder has been around forever and I only bought it and tried it a couple of months ago after using the last of the powders I had. AMAZING! I'm pretty oily, but this powder keeps my skin looking smooth and matte most of the day. People tend to note the packaging as a negative and I tend to agree but I like the price so I can live with it.
