Hello there my lovelies~
Today will be a quick review for Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder!
Alright, so we all know that shiny "t-zone" is a big no no after applying your foundations. That is why a long lasting setting powder is very important.
This powder is pretty well known on the internet. Many makeup gurus on the internet has claimed that this powder has great long wear and oil control powers. Today, I will review whether or not this powder can actually stand up to its claim.
Retails for $4~6
0.49 oz/ 14g of product per compact
Links will be listed down below for places to purchase this product.
I am in the shade 004 Sandstorm.
Comes in a total of 6 shades
Includes a transparent shade.
As you can tell I have showed
this powder a little too much love haha ^ _ ^
Here is a simple swatch of the powder itself.
The powder is not the greatest in texture compared
to high end powders. For the price of this powder, the texture is not so shabby at all.
The powder gets a little powdery and chalky (just a little, nothing crazy)
after using it for a long time.
So did this product work wonders for me? I would say yes and no.
When I first used this powder, the texture of this powder is extremely smooth. However, after using this powder for awhile it became a little chalky and powdery. Of course it wasn't to the point where it was impossible to work with. It wasn't a big issue, I was just a little disappointed that the texture didn't stay the same. But hey! For $4 that's not so bad!
CONS:
- Packaging is really loose
-Chalky after long use
-Fragrance might be a little strong
- Did not come with a sponge or a puff
- No mirror
PROS:
-Good mattifying power
-Smooth powder
-Easy to apply and blend
-Good staying power
- Great powder for a great price
SCORE: 4 out of 5
FINAL VERDICT:
For this price the powder is great! Keep in mind that I have oily skin, so whatever does or doesn't work for me does not mean it won't work for you. I do like to use this powder to set my liquid foundations. This powder does keep me matte for about an hour or two, but since I have oily skin blotting my face is definitely a must no matter what. So I believe that you guys should give this powder a try! For around $4~5 bucks it's worth trying it!
