Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 love this powder so much, I've been through a fair few of them! It really does keep you matte for hours. I don't have particularly oily skin, just in my t-zone by midday kind of thing, but I'm lucky if i need to apply this more than once in the morning before i leave the house. The only downside is it can look a little powdery when first applied but this tends to settle down quickly. For the price its superb! I always use the translucent powder.

IThis is the only powder I've tried so far. I purchased it because of the UK youtube beauty gurus raving about it. It doesn't completely mattify my skin, although I like that, I just expected it to make a big difference in the finish, it just a good setting powder for me really.

I bought this after seeing many a beauty guru on YouTube recommend it and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works! It doesn't feel at all cakey and really makes my foundation last.

Perfect as a setting powder over foundation or a BB cream especially in those area's prone to shininess (T-zone). An amazing product available at an affordable price. I got mine for just under $10 off asos (with free shipping also). I find this gives the same if not better results than similar products from higher end brands for a lot less money. It comes in a translucent shade which is the one I use as I don't want more coverage just the mattifying effect it gives and a product to set my foundation. Also comes in a few skin shades so definitely build able coverage also if you choose those. It is a very mattifying powder though so I only use sparingly on areas that get oily. All over the face can make me appear a bit flat I find and I do like the dewy look on the cheeks.

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.
