Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

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.

Stay Matte is such a great powder for the price!! I alternate between this and Australis Fresh & Flawless which I also love. It keeps me nice and matte for most of the day (Sometimes I reapply as I have super oily skin), sets my makeup nicely and the smell is also quite nice!!! Will repurchase this forever!

Perhaps it was just me, but I found this product to be a little average. Maybe I wasn't using the correct brush, I'm not sure but it went on and boy was it obvious! It settled and flaked in all the drier areas on my face (nose, forehead, corner of lips) and the other areas looked semi-okay but still obvious (not what you want from a product like this). Would probably be a lot better on someone with more oily skin and a decent brush.

I brought this because I have oily skin and everyone was raving about it. I'm pretty sure mine was more than $8 though? I got mine in translucent because I hate cakey skin. I'm not entirely sure it is worth the hype because I prefer my Maybelline one. Maybe it's just because I have oily skin, and perhaps it would work better without having to reapply a lot on people with normal skin.

I'm 'blessed' in a way to have normal-dry combination skin so I don't have to worry about my makeup slip and sliding unless I'm working/sweating - there are days that I want to change up my makeup routine and have a matte finish (although probably not the best for my skin type) and this is the perfect powder! I use it in the shade translucent to give me a matte finish with or without a liquid foundation underneath. Its affordable - especially on ASOS for under $10 - about $5 when its on sale with discount too.

Absolutely does what it says. Stays matte for hours. Just apply over your base foundation or bb cream etc. It sets your makeup & keeps the shine away for hours. Great colour choices too.

I have have been using this in silky beige for nearly a year and i have really oily skin so my stay matte keeps my face nice and matte all day , bit annoying that i hit pan pretty quick ( 2 months )but other than that i can't go without this product and i will repurchase it forever ! Also a great affordable price

This powder is great in not only translucent but also in the coloured powders. When I'm wanting a basic everyday makeup look I use this on top of BB cream. Gives a really great look and doesn't look too cakey on my skin. It really helps my oily skin look matte and controls my shine. However It doesn't last my entire day. Definitely not something I would use though if i'm looking to have a really flawless makeup look when going out.

I used this powder to set my makeup. I use the shade translucent. I really love the price and it does seem to fix my makeup and make it stay on longer. It gives a matt finish which I like, as some powders have too much sparkle added into them and you just end up looking like a disco ball! I don't find the translucent pale on me, as I am super pale, but I do know some find it too pale

My sister bought this as a gift for me and I will be using this over and over again. I use this everyday over the top of my foundation and find it gives me a clean polished look that lasts throughout the day. I have used a million and one more expensive setting powders but this is the best one yet!
