So affordable and works.

I brought this on special for around $10. Which is super affordable and in my opinion it works better then some high end powders I havw tired.

I purchased the translucent shade as I have fair skin. The packaging is a let down, a plastic lid that breaks easily but considering the price I can't complain.

The coverage is great, very natutal and because its translucent you dont have to worry too much about spending ages blending in in. I apply it using a big powder brush after using foundation. A few swirls on the pan is all you need, so it will last for ages.

I really love using this powder, I was worried that the chemicals in it would cause me to break out and dry my skin out but no it's been great on my sensitive skin. It can accentuate dry patches on your skin so make sure you moisturise and prime your skin accordingly.

I highly recommend this powder if you haven't use one before as it's affordable and you can't go wrong with the translucent shade.

Tips: Make sure your make up brush is dry as the powder will get a film (hard spot) on it.

Stay Matte

I love this, It's my go-to. I'm a very pale lady and the translucent one is perfect, doesn't look cakey at all. I love matte finish and as the title suggests, it has a matte finish. You can use very little and build it.

Tips: Pat it on your face with the brush rather than dragging

RIimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

I have a mixed skin type, combination, plus a lot of red tones to my skin, so i found this to be very good for the coverage of both the red,dry and oily area's on my face. I used a primer underneath first and then applied the powder with a brush and the result was very good.

INLOVE

I initially brought this product because it was so cheap in comparison to other pressed powders and oh my, I am SO glad I tried this! It matches my skin tone perfectly and works wonders for setting my BB cream or foundation and keeps my very oily skin looking matte all day. A little bit also goes a long way and it is very light weight.

Stay Matte - Stay in my Drawer

This gave a nice matte coverage that lasted maybe four hours tops before I need to touch up. This was the first finishing powder I bought after every vlogger I follow was using it and I figured it had to be good if they were recommending it. My only gripe is the packaging isn't fantastic. I've broken a couple of lids and sometimes they don't stay on. But otherwise, this does a great job of helping you, stay matte!

I remember the packaging breaking on Rimmel powder when I used to buy it in the 80s! You think they would have sorted it out by now, lol.

Tiny glitter

I really like this product from first glance and first couple of uses. But once I got to half way I started to notice pecks of glitter and reflection on different lighting, at first I thought it was some hair spray that had got on my face but turns out there are tiny bits of glitter, almost barley noticeable, in the powder. It doesn't annoy me too much but be aware for anyone who doesn't want this.

Awesome product!

I love this pressed powder has been my go to for about 3 years now.. I switch between the translucent if I'm using a full coverage foundation or the peach glow if my foundation is on the sheer side. It really does do what it's going to say it does it locks my makeup and keeps me matte all day. Also for the price point it's great lasts quite a long time. I apply mine with a brush and push it into my skin, I have used a sponge before and I think a brush is just a bit more efficient and you don't use as much product. I normally purchase mine from Kmart or farmers I believe the price is the same at both stores.

Tips: If you have problems with caking use a setting spray or a hydrating most over top as its not that finely milled

Best Powder

After hearing countless beauty gurus rave about this product I finally picked it up. I was unsure which shade to get but then decided on transparent (because who can go wrong with that?).

This powder has a very nice formula which you can build on if you need. I tend to stick to one small layer since too much of the transparent shade can leave a bit of a white-cast. The powder is great at giving a nice matte finish to dewy foundations and oil. I really do think this powder effects the longevity of my foundation. I use this powder when I play sports (you shouldn't wear foundation when playing sports) and I need the coverage and it makes my foundation/BB cream last.

I would definitely recommend this powder to anyone who has oily skin/foundation that's too dewy for their liking. This product is the best drugstore powder I've tried (and I've tried a lot).

Tips: Tap off excess on your brush to avoid cake face.

Awesome on its own or to set foundation

This powder is so natural-looking. A light dusting on bare skin will brighten up your complexion. Applied over foundation, it will set and reduce shine.

It is fragranced so if you're sensitive to fragrances it may not be for you.

For such a low price, it's an excellent product.

Tips: Dust on the T-zone after applying liquid foundation to maintain a dewy look without looking shiny.

My holy grail

I've been using this product to set my foundation for as long as I can remember. It doesn't make my foundation look cakey, and helps it to last well throughout the day. I also love the fact that it's drug store and super affordable. I have quite normal skin and it stays matte all day on me - not sure how it would work on oily skin.
