Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

I have been unfortunately blessed with oily skin and have been looking for a product for awhile which would combat my oily t-zone whilst not having to reapply it through the day. Rimmel matte powder really does what it says it does, it adsorbs oil throughout the day keeping you looking fresh, and it is absolutely fantastic for the price. Although I do have a nit picks about it, i find it can come out looking quite powdery/cakey on the face. Also the colours are quite difficult to match correctly, seeing this I went for the transparent shade and it can make me end up looking super white and ghost-y

After using powder from both Revlon and MAC, I have happily settled on the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It performs equally as well as the Revlon and MAC powders, at a fraction of the price. The Stay Matte Pressed Powder is perfect as a setting powder over liquid foundation or a BB cream as it provides a matte, smudge resistant layer with buildable coverage. The combination of liquid foundation and Stay Matte powder provides long lasting coverage. On long days at work I will take blotting sheets and powder to work and top up once in the day, however this isn't particularly necessary. The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder can be purchased for $5-$10 on Asos, with free delivery which makes it a very affordable option in comparison to other powders which provide the same results.

I love this powder!! It makes me look naturally beautiful without clogging my pores!! Would definitely recomend this product!

I am a long time user of Rimmel and generally try most of their products based on my good experiences with theirs . My powder had just run out when I saw the Rimmel Stay Matte range had hit NZ stores , so I purchased one . I love that they have a large range of shades , including ones pale enough for my skin . I also love the consistency and easy blending capability of the product . Not much powder needs to be used for a great finish . This product also provides great payoff , and lasts well throughout the day . It sets make up perfectly but is easy enough to remove at the end of the day .

I had tried this product before my current pressed powder that im using at the moment and it is one of the products that I had reached the bottom of, I was really impressed! I personally think overall Rimmel is a great range but this, as well as other products (ie the single blushers) that Ive tried are one of the best!

The look that is gives the skin is one but natural, which Im sure is what we all want! I wouldnt rely on it giving you any more coverage than what your foundation has provided, especially the translucent shade as this is purely used to set the foundation. It is a great affordable setting powder that is easy to use and does set your foundation and help control shine throughout the day.

With it being a pressed powder too I find that it applies better on the skin and it doesnt go every where when you are wanting to use it. Just be careful when you hit pan as like all pressed products this can make it crack a lot easier when you are carrying it with you, but just put a cotton pad in it and this should lessen the risk of this happen. The lid I found was deseaving as well, thought it was almost too easy to remove but aslong as its put on properly (ensure the two dimples are resting underneath the ridges) then you should be fine, just put it in a little bag if you are worried about spillage :)

This is a product that Im more than happy to recommend to nearly all my friends as most of them are wanting a powder thats going to give them a nice natural finish, set their foundation and is very affordable!

I will repurchase this one again for myself eventually and may try it as an undereye setting powder for a cheap alternative and see how that goes.

After watching Shaanxos review about the Rimmel stay matte powder I went scouting for this. They didnt have any in my colour so i ended up buying the translucent colour which i was told was great for all skintones as it was a clear powder.

After applying my foundation I use a fluffy brush to pat it onto my skin before brushing it off, you only need a small amount and if you use too much powder it starts caking. Its a great powder to apply on your T zone if you get oily there during the day. I also like to put this over my bronzer if ive added too much. I cant remember how much i picked this up for as i brought alot of other products. It comes in a round container which is easy to open, the screw has broken so i cant securely close it which is a let down because ive onlu had this for 2 weeks.

The product works well and its very cheap, I want to buy the stay matte powder in my shade to try too.

So far I've used the 000 translucent & 003 peach glow. I'm currently using the 003 peach as after using the 000 translucent for the past few months I found it too pale. I apply it with a powder brush. Originally I applied it with a pressed powered sponge, but found it didn't set my make-up very good. Both do what they say they do. While they only last 5 hours, (as stated on bottom), a midday make up check isn't that big a deal.

Also are pron to crack & the lid doesn't screw on very well

I heard about this product after seeing it featured in a few of my favourite youtubers videos (Tanya Burr, Zoella) and I did not regret it! Such an amazing powder and really affordable, I have dry skin & I'm always scared powders will make it worse but this didn't at all1
