Rimmel Stay Matte: Pressed Powder Review!!!

Hey everyone!!!

Today I'm going to be reviewing an item that I use every day, for obvious reasons. :3

This is my first Rimmel London product. I bought it on a whim one day after hearing a bunch of people rave about it.

As we all know, my skin is extremely oily, so I definitely wanted to give this a go.

It was about $7 at Walmart, which is pretty good in my opinion.

I couldn't find my shade when I bought it. No surprise there.

I think I got the next shade up, but as far as I can see, there was absolutely no difference. It's a pretty translucent powder.

The one pictured above is a brand new one that I haven't even opened yet.

Here's the one that I've been obviously using. As you can see, I've hit pan.

This actually lasted not as long as I thought, but for the price, it's not a big deal.

I think I've had it for about two and a half months, using it every day. Which actually isn't that bad, but for some reason I thought it would last forever.

Whatever.

I use my ELF Total Face Brush to apply this, and it works awesome!

When you first open the product, it's a pressed powder. But after you swirl your brush in there (or tap it. whatever floats your boat) little pieces kind of fly up. It can be a little messy. I usually have a little bit of this on my work jeans I find, but it's easy enough to dust away.

I put it over my tattoo to show you guys how it looks on skin.

If you're planning on using this powder to cover up, not a good idea. It doesn't have any coverage, but that's what concealer and foundations are for.

But the name is extremely fitting. It keeps my face looking matte for a good eight hours. By then, I'm done work and able to reapply if needed.

I really like this powder though. It doesn't keep me matte all day, but I wasn't expecting it to, nor do I expect any product to do so.

But I definitely recommend this if you wanted to try something to help set your makeup!

Overall, I would rate this product a solid 9/10.

The only reason this doesn't get a perfect ten, is because it does make a little bit of a mess and I feel like that's wasted product, but it doesn't make a huge difference.
