Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

Another Rimmel beauty bag fav. I use rimmel's fix and perfect primer and then a bb cream with a small amount of this on my t zone (mostly) and it gives me great all day wear. No complaints at all.

I trialed this powder for a month, hoping that it would live up to the hype, but it really didn't.

It didn't keep me any matte-er than a normal powder would, and with the bulky packaging it isn't travel friendly as I'm scared that it will break in my handbag! I bought the transparent shade, and it has a hint of colour that I was not expecting.

This is very affordable, but it's really just a standard powder.

This powder does not work very well for me. I typically have combination skin which is prone to dryness in some areas but can become a little bit oily in the T zone. The main reason I typically use a powder is more to set my makeup then control for oil.

This product did do an OK job of setting my foundation but I have tried other powders which were a similar price that did a much better job. The product says "stay matte but not flat" but I feel the opposite is true. This powder definitely made my makeup look flat and I need to add creme highlighters or blushers and bronzers which contain shimmers in them to dry bring back some life to my skin.

I also found that it was difficult to pick the product up onto my brush (flat top kabuki brush). On a number of occasions I have found it so difficult to pick the product up I have to scratch the surface of the powder to loosen the product.

If I was not on such a tight budget I would have discarded this powder a long time ago.

Absolutely in love with this powder! This sets my foundation and also helps control the oil on my face. It makes you makeup last and does not cake up.

I love love love this powder. It sets my foundation nicely and its so matte and pretty. I have this powder in beige and its perfect for my skin tone.

I'm in love with this powder! It sets my foundation nicely while also controlling the oil on my t zone! Would definitely buy it again

Does what its supposed to, Keeps my T zone from becoming shiny as the day goes on but isnt too matte or cakey looking. Im not much a powder person but this is the only one ive ever gone back and repurchased.

It took me a long time before I jumped no the Rimmel Stay Matte powder bandwagon because everywhere I went it cost $20+.

Found it cheaper on ASOS and it finally arrived last week and I absolutely love it. Has great staying power and sets my make up well and takes away the shine.

I found this powder for about $16 at the warehouse and decided to try it and I really liked it. It set my foundation helping it last all day great cheap powder :)

Great pressed powder that does make everything Matte. Only downfall for me is that it is quite drying but I suppose thats just what you get with a matte powder. Super affordable and perfect for an everyday pressed matte powder.
