[Review] Rimmel London Stay Matte Face Powder




Hey Everyone, i hope you are all doing well. Today i'll be sharing my thoughts on the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. 

Rimmel claims that this powder
- Lasts up to 5 hours 
- Helps minimise the appearance of pores.

The powder is available in four shades 
  • 001 Transparent 
  • 002 Silky Beige 
  • 003 Peach Glow
  • 004 Sandstorm
As for personal use, i use the number 002 Silky Beige.
I've been using this powder for around a year, previously i used the Maybelline Dream Matte powder, which was a similar product to the Rimmel Stay Matte. I found that the Rimmel one gave more coverage and was a tad cheaper.
Application: 
I love how this powder feels on my face, after applying it on top of my foundation, it provides me with a nice matte finish. The powder stays on my face from the time i leave the house to the time i get home. 

The powder is not as finely milled as ones from Chanel and Benefit but the quality is fairly good for the price. I often see that my face looks slightly cakey, so i would recommend using a bit of the powder first then apply another layer if needed.


PROS:                                 CONS:
- Affordable                         - Limited colour range

- Compact 
- Available at most supermarkets and pharmacies (drugstores)
Overall i would recommend anyone who is looking for an affordable face powder that is long lasting with a matte finish.The only downside would probably the shades that are available. 

Have you tried this powder before? If so tell me your thoughts below!

  2. I love this powder and also the Dream Matte one but the latter is discontinued. I use the translucent shade so it doesn't change the base colour. I think I've gone through about 3 or 4 of these!

  3. I agree about it not being very finely milled - I find the translucent one can have a bit of a whitening effect :/ it's a good product to reduce shine but in moderation! xx
