Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

This is the powder I use daily. I have a supply I’m using up but will have to find an alternative if Rimmel don’t go cruelty free before they’re used up. My one downer is it doesn’t give me all day oil control, which it doesn’t claim, I just wish it did. But for under $10 on special you can’t really complain. I do love how it sets my foundation and gives me a bit of extra coverage but doesn’t feel caked, even if I reapply later in the day.

This setting powder is really good value and still delivers a good level of matte finish results. I have naturally dry skin and generally favour a dewy look but when I like my makeup to last all day and stay on I reach for this product. I enjoy that it is a solid powder rather than a loose product which makes travelling with it very easy. I use this once a week and have hardly made a dint in it!

I used this powder a lot last year and I found it to be a little drying around the T-zone of my face but flawless on my cheeks. For me that wasn’t ideal, but it was more than I expected from the cheap price. I don’t recommend putting this on areas with a thin layer/minimal makeup as it tends to make it look like another layer of skin. Other than that, it’s a good powder, keeps away the shine.

Only face powder I use it’s really good and cheap! Good value for money, keeps you matte for most the day.

I have used this pressed powder for many years now. It is very easily accessible and well priced which helps!

I find the powder doesn't go orange on my skin when I have worn it for a while. It does help mattify my skin as my skin can get a bit oily (especially working in an air conditioned office) and it does have pretty good, easily built up coverage.

I don't often wear a full face but I use this powder on top of BB cream when I want to feel a bit more "dolled up but still casual". It stays on for most of the day - or night if I am out on the town. It doesn't feel cakey either.

Good pressed powder, not cakey or too dry, but genuinely gives you a lovely matte finish. It’s okay to use if you’ve got dry skin, it won’t make you look like an old woman. Lasts ages too

I use this powder on the weekdays as my powder when I am at work as its so affordable and really does what it says, its a mix between powder/cream for me so I feel like I do not end up looking cakey. I get hella oily throughout the day so this is a lifesaver at work (I usually bring it with me and keep blotting with it too). Honestly cannot go wrong with this product and I find its a dupe for Mac Studio Powder which I use sparingly as its pricy!

Been using this for years i only use on my eye lids now for a base for my eye makeup as found i prefer loose powder with a brush on my face now and prefer the Natio loose powder. Rimmell is a good brand but have moved onto other brands now
