I adore this powder it keeps my oily skin matte for a relatively long period of time. My only complain is i hit pan quickly and the packaging is useless as it doesn't stay closed.

I have loved this powder for a while now. I use the transparent one and I find that it sets my makeup, mattifies my face and stays on for the whole day. Although the packaging is kind of tacky, the product itself is well worth the small price you pay. I use this everyday, and I carry it around if I think that I will need to reapply it later in the day.
Tips: Use a fluffy brush to apply, because it can easily beome a bit 'cakey' or powdery on your skin if you use too much.
I bought this after seeing this used on Youtube - So glad I did! I have combination skin and my t-zone gets quite oily during the day, so when I use this on top of my foundation my makeup isn't an oily mess after a few hours like usual! Best of all, it's affordable and available in NZ!
This is my favourite pressed powder. It has good coverage when used over a BB cream, or foundation. Keeps my skin matte for most of the day. Its affordable, and isn't powdery . Great selection of colours to suit all skin tones. Not really that keen on the packaging but the product and amount of product makes up for that.
It doesn't break out my skin, or feel chalky . Really impressed and will continue to repurchase this.
Tips: For everyday light coverage apply this over your BB cream . and use the Rimmel stay matte concealer .
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.
Tips: Purchase it of ASOS if you don't need it in a hurry, they have free shipping to NZ and often have sales
I love using this translucent powder! Keeps me matte and makes my skin look like porcelain. I use this with a kabuki brush, and I love how it doesn't make me look cakey. So so light on the skin.
This is the most perfect foundation setting powder ever the texture is dry and smooth in pan and non existant on your face. The powder itself has the tiniest grains which prevent your makeup from caking. This is def a two in one product as it sets your makeup without giving you a cake face. really good for photos as it doesnt reflect the light
I had tried this product before my current pressed powder that im using at the moment and it is one of the products that I had reached the bottom of, I was really impressed! I personally think overall Rimmel is a great range but this, as well as other products (ie the single blushers) that Ive tried are one of the best!
The look that is gives the skin is one but natural, which Im sure is what we all want! I wouldnt rely on it giving you any more coverage than what your foundation has provided, especially the translucent shade as this is purely used to set the foundation. It is a great affordable setting powder that is easy to use and does set your foundation and help control shine throughout the day.
With it being a pressed powder too I find that it applies better on the skin and it doesnt go every where when you are wanting to use it. Just be careful when you hit pan as like all pressed products this can make it crack a lot easier when you are carrying it with you, but just put a cotton pad in it and this should lessen the risk of this happen. The lid I found was deseaving as well, thought it was almost too easy to remove but aslong as its put on properly (ensure the two dimples are resting underneath the ridges) then you should be fine, just put it in a little bag if you are worried about spillage :)
This is a product that Im more than happy to recommend to nearly all my friends as most of them are wanting a powder thats going to give them a nice natural finish, set their foundation and is very affordable!
I will repurchase this one again for myself eventually and may try it as an undereye setting powder for a cheap alternative and see how that goes.
Tips: I have given a couple of tips in the review section but with applying the powder itself just be sure you use pattting/ dabbing motions with your brush before you go ahead and use swiping/ buffing motions. This patting/ dabbing motion just ensures that you are not going to move the foundation that you have just applied, its going to keep that foundation in its place. Still do swipping/ buffing afterwards however just so this gives you a nice natural finish. The patting motions can also help with oliy areas of the face too :)
This is a really decent powder and I have brought more than a few. I usually go for the translucent one. It is a great finishing powder however it is not the best at keeping skin matte.
Tips: Use this on a large fluffy kabuki brush and pat onto the face,
