Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

I've been using this pressed powder for about a year now and use it in my everyday makeup routine. I use a light layer to set my foundation and it gives great coverage and evens out my skin tone nicely. I love it!

This stuff is magic! Great powder as the name suggests stays matte for hours. I use the shade transparent on my nose chin and forehead. Then use the shade peach glow to set my undereye concealer and gives my undereyes a perfect brightness and makes me look awake. Not a huge fan of the packaging, but it is so affordable one cannot complain too much. A great great product.

I love this product, so good at controlling the matt-ness of my skin and as I have quite oily skin, I think it works well considering it has to work a lot for me. One thing that makes me appreciate the brand more is that they have a good range of tones/shades. I am able to wear this product without having an orange tone and without wearing the translucent shade. I buy this product from asos.com which is very trusted, it is around NZ$8 and they offer free shipping as well. I apply this with an old thin lizzy brush as it is super easy to apply and doesn't need a special brush as the results are the same with other brushes, so I can keep my good brushes for other products.

After using powder from both Revlon and MAC, I have happily settled on the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It performs equally as well as the Revlon and MAC powders, at a fraction of the price. The Stay Matte Pressed Powder is perfect as a setting powder over liquid foundation or a BB cream as it provides a matte, smudge resistant layer with buildable coverage. The combination of liquid foundation and Stay Matte powder provides long lasting coverage. On long days at work I will take blotting sheets and powder to work and top up once in the day, however this isn't particularly necessary. The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder can be purchased for $5-$10 on Asos, with free delivery which makes it a very affordable option in comparison to other powders which provide the same results.

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.

I first heard about this product through my best friend, who said she used it to set her foundation and help keep her face matte throughout the day. After hearing good things about it from her, I went and got myself one to try and it has been my go-to everyday powder! I use the translucent pressed powder and it sets my foundation nicely. It also helps to eliminate some shine on the more oily areas on my face (especially my T-zone), considering I have normal to oily/combination skin and those areas tend to get oily most. As my skin can get quite oily at times, the powder doesn't always keep my face matte, and so I have to end up blotting my face, or re-apply the powder back on. However, at the price you pay for this, I would definitely recommend it!

I had heard the hype all about this product so purchased one from ASOS in Transparent. I use it all over my face with a powder brush after applying my foundation to set it.

It definitely doesn't keep my skin Matte all day. After a few hours my T-zone starts to look a bit shiny. I do like how it basically blends into the skin so it doesn't look powdery and it does smell nice but I prefer my MAC studio fix over this I think. It is a good drugstore powder if you don't want to spend a lot and just want to set your foundation. Would probably suit people with more drier/non oily skin types.

The only thing I really dislike is the packaging- it feels cheap and cracks quite easily and I wouldn't trust carrying it around in my bag all day.

I do really like this - it's affordable, provides a really nice finish and is easy to apply. I'm rather (*coughverycough*) pale, so I use Translucent, which is actually not a true translucent, so provides a little coverage which is nice. It's a yellow-based colour as well, which suits my skin perfectly. I love this for using everyday, when I wear just concealer and a bit of blush, as it looks super natural. You do have to be a bit more careful when using over foundation, as too much can make the foundation look cakey, but just a little will set everything and still look natural.

The only downside to this for me is that it doesn't last super long on my T-zone. I have normal/combo skin, so not super oily, but I really only get a few hours out of this before my nose especially looks a bit shiny. So that's a pain, but for the price I'm not going to complain too much!

Fantastic price as most powders in NZ are way overpriced. I found there to be only a few colours to choose from which wasn't great but maybe my store just doesn't stock them all. Loved how matte it made me look but felt like it didn't match my skin tone very well.

I use this powder everyday over my foundation! It it a miracle for oily skin! It help your face stay Matte over the day and it great for quick fix ups its always in my handbag. It is also such a great price and I reckon it works way better that some of the more expensive powders!
