Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, Silky Beige, 14g

Been using this powder for years, not cakey, good coverage/blurring , great lasting. 10000% recommend I have previously got more expensive powders but always gone back to this, they just do not compare l

Lovely lightening, sheer, invisible powder. Doesn't dry or irritate my fair, sensitive skin. Evens skin tones and keeps base in place. My new best find at such a great price!

I really like this powder. Blurs pores, holds make up for hours and an excellent price. Better than some high end.

Live this use it all the time

This foundation is exactly as described, easy to use, perfect colour, great price and fast delivery.

I have been repurchasing this pressed powder for well over 10 years now and am yet to find another that compares. The shade selection is great and it applies really well with a powder brush. This keeps my makeup matte and in place all day and my makeup slips and cracks without using this.

After using other high street setting powders, I didn't have high hopes for this... I was pleasantly surprised to discover I was wrong! I haven't used any high-end setting powders to really be able to accurately compare, but it does the job. I didn't have any issues with the product arriving damaged, but I guess I was just lucky to have a courier who handles parcels with care. I have combination skin, but a rather oily t-zone. I use oil-free skincare and base makeup products, but some of the oil will still seep through. I've used other drugstore setting powders that have received high praises and reviews, but they only ever mattify my t-zone for a short duration. This powder seems to set my makeup almost immediately, and absorbs into the skin so doesn't leave any residue to dust off even when baking. It minimises the oil for quite a few hours. I have only ever worn it on night outs and not for a whole day, so I can imagine if you have very oily skin you might need to do a light touch-up or use blotting papers to remove any excess shine. My only complaint is that the translucent shade is slightly pale, so not a true universal translucent colour. Lucky for me that my foundation is a shade paler than my natural skin tone, or else I think it could be airing on the side of being too light for my medium brown skin. I fear it may leave a white cast on someone with a darker complexion... :3 Additionally, the powder is thick/full-coverage (doesn't feel heavy when worn though). Because of my combination skin type, I can get away with matte makeup products without it making my complexion look dry or dull as there will always be a small amount of dewiness coming through. However, for someone with dry or normal skin I can imagine this becoming cakey quite easily. Therefore, would only really recommend as a powder for those with oily or combination skin. Overall, it's a decent powder for the price paid. Of course it's not going to compare to cult favourites like Charlotte Tilbury's, but it's a great budget alternative :)

I have been pleased with the quality of this translucent face powder. It is very lightweight and you can barely feel it on your face but gives you a nice even complexion. It does not last as long as face powders I have used in the past and unfortunately the powder keeps cracking (even though it’s just kept on the shelf). However, for the price, I still think it’s good value. The one I was using before was a premium brand and significantly more expensive but I would say no difference in quality. My skin is oily/combination.
