Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is not a new offering from Rimmel however it is a product that has received a renewed hype amongst beauty bloggers recently. With the change in seasons I have returned to using my powder foundations and pressed powder for my face base. Whether it is summer or winter I still have issues (thanks to my combination skin) with an oily t-zone- automatically this is then a product that appeals to me!
Rimmel London claims Stay Matte Pressed Powder gives:
Up to 5 hours natural shine control with natural minerals. Helps minimise the appearance of pores.What this product gives is a beautiful matte finish without being too cakey. The 5 hour shine control claim did in fact hold up- if you are heading out straight after work though you'll still need to touch up. The powder doesn't really provide much coverage so I would suggest a bit of concealer (if your skin is good) or your usual tinted moisturiser/BB cream/ foundation underneath.
The range of colours are good for a chemist/drug store/high street brand- with 7 colours to choose most people can find a color to suit. The powder has that old school face powder scent which I personally love.
