Rimmel Insta Fix & Matte Powder Review

Does exactly what it claims to do. I do find that I need to reapply after a few hours but that goes for every other powder I've tried. For the price I can't really complain and will continue to repurchase this product once I run out.

This is a good affordable reliable setting powder.

It's powdered like this that make me wonder why I buy expensive high end powders.

The packaging is not flash, but the product inside does the job.

It sits on the face transparent, mattifies slightly and last most of the day.

Job done.

I have been using this powder now for about 3 months. It is fabulous! Does not leave a white residue, stays matte for most of the day and doesn't budge my cc cream underneath when I put it on. Recommend using a kabuki brush to apply. Will definitely buy this one again.

I've used this product in the past, and when it was in the recent vault i nabbed one. It's super handy to have in the stasg,

The packaging is nothing special - plastic, a tan colour on the bottom and clear on the top, and the top is a little flimsy. You don't buy cheaper ranges for the packaging, usually! It does the trick.

The powder is pressed and embossed in the pan, presenting appealingly when new. It picks up easily on a brush, and applies well to the face. It's translucent and fine milled - gives a momentary white case when first applied, but that buffs in readily as you finish applying.

It definitely helps mattify and settle makeup, and helps a face to 'wear'.

This is a great little product, for a very reasonable price, and I'm impressed again, as I was in the past!

I love this powder! i recently got it in the beauty vault and i think its great. I have been using the rimmel stay matte powder for years now and never had a problem with it but i have recently been trying more rimmel products (all amazing) so i decided id give this one a go. I have very oily shiny skin and this powder woks so well for my skin. I will defiently buy again.

Rimmel's not usually a brand I turn to for base makeup but I saw a sale on at Farmers and had points to spend so thought why not try something new! This comes in a simple plastic packaging with a decent amount of powder for its price.

The powder itself is easy to pick up with a poofy brush (I like the real techniques powder brush) and feels light dabbing onto my face. It does a good job mattifying my foundation, especially in my T-zone. This is great if you want your makeup to look shine free, e.g. for photos or a night event. It doesn't have much scent and didn't irritate my sensitive skin. My foundation is usually quite long lasting anyway, so I'm not sure if it did much to prolong my foundation but at least it didn't crease in my fine lines or settle visibly. It's not the finest powder that I've used, but it's not gritty and disappears on my face when applied. So although I do still prefer my usual setting powders, I think this is definitely good performance for its price. Also since its transluscent and colourless, this would probably suit most skintones.

I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a quick easy setting powder that they can carry around in their handbag or something. Just put a sponge puff inside and you've go a on-the-go mattifying powder.

I brought this in addition to a mattifying spray as I have combination skin and find that it does not always do the job of keeping me oil free throughout the day. I think this is essentially just a talc powder but none the less it does do a job job of making the shine disappear on my face as soon as I sweep it on. I use a large powder brush and swirl it over my face once I have done my make up. It instantly takes the shine off in a couple of applications. The only downside, as I said before is due to its color; if you apply too much it can make you look very pale. Therefore it may not suit every complexion (I am fair with peachy undertones). However, for the price and how long it will last I think it is a good investment.
