This wasn't for me, didn't sit well on my skin at all, sunk into pores and scars and felt yuck. It's a no from me.

Not really a big fan of this product anymore, i used to love it. I find when ever i use this product on top of my liquid foundation it is really drying on my skin and i don't even have dry skin.
The Rimmel stay matte powder is a cult favorite but I personally don't see the hype, yes it does set your makeup and it looks fine but man if I get a little sweaty on my forehead, I get yellowish powder patchiness which is NOT a good look. This powder would probably work very well in the winter months but I do not recommend for oily skin in the summer, I was a hot mess!
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.
Tips: I like to use a setting spray to counteract how 'flat' this product makes me skin look.
I heard about this from all the beauty guru's on youtube as a good affordable drugstore translucent powder 2-3 months ago. I personally found it very drying for my skin. It looked very powdery and creases after 1 hour (especially around the under eye area and my T zone). I find it is good for all over the face. I still have mine and do not think I will buy it again though
In general, the powder is not bad for this price, but I unlikely buy it again.I use it very rarely, but maybe it suits someone better.
This was my first ever finishing powder. I bought it as I have quite oily skin so needed something to set my foundation and stop it running off my face! I bought the translucent shade.
The packaging is ok, I wouldn't be very confident putting it in my bag for touch ups through the day - the lid would possibly come off or crack. It's fine if you're keeping it at home though.
I've tried applying it with both a sponge and a powder brush. When using the sponge it will go on the sponge but not transfer to my face. When I use the brush I can't even see it on the brush and can't actually tell if it's even on my face at all.
I haven't noticed any particular effects from this powder. It doesn't prolong my makeup, but doesn't shorten it or make it look any worse either.
I won't be repurchasing this, and will probably re-gift it to my teenage niece.
Not my favourite, but will still continue to use it, feels nice and light, looks nice, it just doesn't agree with my skin
This was the first powder I used and at the time I quite liked it, however now that I've tried other products I find this to be not as great as others. It applies well and it IS mattifying and does it's job, however I have oily skin and it isn't oil free so I find it makes my skin even oilier or it just basically slides off! It isn't terrible but it doesn't last all day for me and that's the main reason why I use powder - to make my foundation last all day! So not a winner for me! Also the packaging is a bit cheap and it breaks really easy which is quite annoying
As someone who has experimented with a lot of makeup products. I know that this just is not it. The powder is very hard to use. Doesnāt stick to any brush nicely and I barely notice it on my face when wearing. I donāt see any difference to my makeup whether I wear it or not
