Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

I can see why people rave about this product. Its a great price and does all the things a powder is meant to do.

This was just a bit of a ho hum powder for me though. The translucent worked well for my quite fair skin, when testing the colours instore they all seem too dark for me. Can look a little cakey if not careful. The packaging is seriously annoying as the lid is forever falling off unless stored sitting flat on a surface, lid also would break easily if dropped. Seems to be quite a little amount of product as I used it up very fast. Personally I didn't repurchase but I suppose I would if I had a low budget and was in need of a powder.

I loved this when I first purchased it, but after a while, I feel like it became too used to my skin? This is great to use during the summer time or if you have oily skin, however, in a strange way this powder made my face go oily at the end of the day and I have combination to dry skin.

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.

I love the embossed powder it just looks so neat!!

I swirl my brush around and tappa tappa tappa it over my face. Shine be gone! Its probably a bit too matte though and sticks to my dry skin like a dung beetle to his beloved ball of.. well. You know what.

Wouldnt repurchase, sadly!

It does what it says it does, but its nothing amazing. I've started getting the essence translucent version of this and it's just as good as it lasts the day.

This was the first powder I used and at the time I quite liked it, however now that I've tried other products I find this to be not as great as others. It applies well and it IS mattifying and does it's job, however I have oily skin and it isn't oil free so I find it makes my skin even oilier or it just basically slides off! It isn't terrible but it doesn't last all day for me and that's the main reason why I use powder - to make my foundation last all day! So not a winner for me! Also the packaging is a bit cheap and it breaks really easy which is quite annoying

I trialed this powder for a month, hoping that it would live up to the hype, but it really didn't.

It didn't keep me any matte-er than a normal powder would, and with the bulky packaging it isn't travel friendly as I'm scared that it will break in my handbag! I bought the transparent shade, and it has a hint of colour that I was not expecting.

This is very affordable, but it's really just a standard powder.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding this product. It was recommended to me as I was looking for a matte-finish setting powder that was translucent and wouldn't darken or lighten the look of my foundation. I bought this product in 'transparent' and it certainly is transparent, but it doesn't really do much. It reduces shine, but only slightly, and doesn't help makeup stay put, it just kind of disappears into my face. I don't think I will repurchase this product, but it is very affordable so its a decent product for someone on a low budget.

The first thing I noticed about this powder is that it goes on super smooth, and randomly smells quite nice too. It spread evenly and easily with my powder brush. It looks great when I first apply it over my foundation, (which is sometimes liquid other times mineral foundation). Very matte and smooth looking. I have oily skin and this product didn't keep shine at bay during the day. By around lunchtime my nose and forehead are shiny again, and that's not even on a really hot day. I'm not a big fan of having to apply more powder through out the day as it can build up look cakey so unfortunately this doesn't cut it for me.

Now that i brought it i will use it up but its nothing amazing for me. There was so much hype all over youtube about it so i purchased it. I got it in translucent and as long as i dont use heaps it works as a setting powder. I found it doesnt make me super matte. It does for maybe the first 4hours then after that you can see my shinny skin coming through. But i guess for the price its good. But i definatly have other powders that i prefer over this. I dont think i would re [purchase it
