Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

This is a great setting powder that lasts pretty well and does the job at keeping the shine at bay. One thing I don't like too much is the colour selection. They are almost too tinted and therefore I found it hard to get a colour that matched my skin.. it would be better if they had a proper transluscent one. The packaging is terrible, the lid broke for me after a few weeks and now just falls off :P All in all, a good powder though.

I heard about this product from a number of beauty bloggers and they all loved this product and I agree. It's not too heavy and does not love powdery or cakey when applied. My foundation stays in place all day and the powder is a staple in my beauty routine

I use this to set my Revlon Colorstay Foundation and it helps my makeup to stay shine free and in place all day with no touch ups :)

I use the colour peach glow all year round and if I'm a little more tan I use the colour silky beige. I also use the silky beige shade in the winter as a subtle bronzer on my pale skin.

I don't think I could live with out this powder as I also use it when I'm not wearing any other makeup to give my skin a tiny bit of coverage and warmth.

I had heard a lot about this face powder and for a long time I didn’t see the point of even wearing a face powder so didn’t think about buying it. Once my foundation began to get patchy, and not wear as well I decided it was time to be a face powder and this was an affordable option so was something I really couldn’t lose on.

I have this face powder in 01 (translucent) although it comes in other shades as well. It comes in a flat pan shaped container with a see-through plastic lid. Really simple design, and easy to use. The packaging is not exactly pretty but it seems to do the job.

The powder is smooth, but maybe leaning towards slightly chalky. It looks white upon a swatch but once it is blended in it is invisible. I use this powder with a fluffy brush and use to it to set my makeup. Personally, I find this is a little drying around the eye area and so although i do use it to set my concealer, I make sure my eye area is really hydrated before I use it, otherwise it just looks terrible. However for all over face setting this is good (minus the colder months when my face is dry), and I do find it makes my makeup wear better and longer throughout the day.

I brought this for around $6 and for that price I would repurchase again. This product is affordable ad does the job. It can be a little drying so I opt to use it in the warmer months, and use another powder in the cooler months. I have been using this on and off all year, and I have hardly made a dent in the pan so really is value for money too.

This powder is my go to all time favourite. It is such a good price and truly does what it says..keeps you foundation matte and on all day! I couldn't go without it. I have been using this for about a year now and have to re-purchase as soon as I run out!!

This powder is great! My favourite powder i've ever used. I set all my foundations with it, I love it so much I have a back up just incase. And for the price it's even better! I use the shade transparent which doesn't add any extra coverage just sets my makeup and gives me a nice matte finish. But also own two other colours. My current powder has lasted over a year. Love it!

I bought this after seeing this used on Youtube - So glad I did! I have combination skin and my t-zone gets quite oily during the day, so when I use this on top of my foundation my makeup isn't an oily mess after a few hours like usual! Best of all, it's affordable and available in NZ!

I have dry skin, but in summer I sometimes get a bit oily on my face. I gave this a try after seeing friends rave about it, and it's worth it. I applied it with an ecotools kabuki brush, and pressed it in to really set my foundation and concealer. My face looked perfect at the end of a long hot day! I like this in translucent, because it didn't change the colour of my blush or contouring.

This is the only matte powder I have ever tried and I really love it I used it with the matching foundation wasn't a fan of the foundation but this powder did a fantastic job my face stayed matte looking the whole day and it set my makeup really well it did not move around my face at all still looked great 9 hours later super impressed I applied with my beauty blender cheapie dupe I think it looks best applied that way on my skin, not a fan on the packaging it not the easiest to open i find but great product! Will last ages.

This is one of those products that takes the cake for me. Not only is it cheap, it's an amazing product. My only down side would be the packaging. I am not lid - mine seem to come of and break every time. Regardless, my skin is oily and this product is perfect. After applying my foundation with a beauty blender, I 'dot' the powder all over my face using a blending brush by RT. It sets my foundation and gives me great full coverage. It also makes an excellent base for powder bronzers and blush.

I took it with me on holiday to Vanuatu and it even withstood the heat and stopped the rest of my makeup sliding off my face!
