This powder is great for a quick fix, but it's definitely not long lasting. I set my makeup and usually have to apply more powder after an hour, or use blotting papers. It's cheap though so I can't complain.

Though I can't attest to the "stay matte" part of this product, I started using it last year as I have trouble finding a powder that doesn't turn orange on my skin.
This light weight product is the perfect finishing powder at an outrageously inexpensive price.

Only downfall is that it does not come with an applicator and the cheap packaging makes it incredibly easy to break if dropped. I now have a container from an old finishing powder that I use to use, that holds all the broken pieces of the Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder that I've managed to drop and break.... still great and easy to apply with a powder brush :)

After receiving one of these powders for my birthday I have not stopped using it ever since. Every time I wear makeup this is my go to powder to set it and it lasts for a good few hours before I need to touch up. Then again I normally do not carry around makeup with me, but from the travelling I have done recently, this is pretty easy to travel with. The packaging isn't the greatest as it is just a clear lid that pops off and isn't that tight, but for the affordability of this product it's worth picking up if you haven't tried it yet!

It truly does help you stay matte. I find with my dry skin if I use it all over my face it's a little heavy and leaves me looking somewhat "cakey" But I love the translucent to simply to touch up my nose, chin and cheeks when they get a little oily without adding extra coverage. My daughter has slightly oilier skin and uses it on her entire face and LOVES that it keeps her matte throughout the entire school day.

This is a great pressed powder for oily or combination skin, When used with the stay matte foundation it provides a clean matte look that lasts the whole day. The only downside is that it comes without an applicator,

My sister bought me this for me to try since it's what she uses mostly. Since, I have the redness and sunspots, I've tried many things. It did cover it up, but made my face feel tight and it settled in some of my wrinkles.

This is my first pressed powder that I have used, and after trying Rimmel London's, I do not need to look elsewhere! It does what it promises. It keeps my face matte and controls my shine, and it applies very evenly. It is quite lightweight which is perfect for allowing my freckles to still show.

I decided to try this product because I had recently purchased the Rimmel Stay Matte BB Cream and the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation, and thought that completing my set would work best for my look.

I will review the other two products soon enough, but I wanted to begin with the powder simply because in the summer months, I was pretty much only using the powder.

In my opinion, the powder is one of those products you can spend money on because its price tag is not hefty at all. I got mine for 5$ on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart. It does apply very finely, and it is effective in helping you stay matte, however, it needs to be reapplied and also does not come in a variety of shades (only 6 that I saw). And even then, they don't seem to vary in colour range.

That said, the quality of the powder, I believe combined with talc and mica, had a nice soft smooth feeling to it and went on evenly.

So I while I can't say all great things, I can't say all bad either.

There were some positives to this, like the price and the quality, but the effectiveness wasn't spot on.

I've used a lot of different powders in my day, and this one for its price is one of the best, I don't need to reapply threw out the day it keeps my shine free either at work or otg in the sun.

Continuously going back to this product because I cannot find another sufficient matte powder! It definitely gets the job done in reducing shine on the face, however sometimes dries out my face if I am wearing cream or liquid foundation. Overall, worth the price.
