Stay Matte Powder

I thought it was time to review my favourite powder: Stay Matte Pressed Powder by Rimmel. You can get it for just £3.99 from most drugstores.          

                                                                                                                               

This powder is available in 6 different colours. This makes it the perfect powder for any skin tone. If you are unsure about which shade you use, I recommend that you try their transparent shade as it is just a clear powder. 

This powder is the ideal finish for your makeup look. It gets rid of any oily areas on your face and leaves your face looking matte but not cakey at all. It looks really natural and gives a very even coverage. This is a very easy product to apply and it definitely ensures that your makeup stays on all day. 

I'll be honest though, something that let me down about this product was the packaging. I find the lid cracks really easily. I've brought 3 of these powders before, 2 of which the lids had cracked by the time I brought them home. 

Another way I think this product could be improved, in my opinion, would be to add some sort of applicator. The only way you can apply it is by using a separate powder brush. I think it would be better, especially for travel, if you wouldn't have to buy a separate tool. I appreciate that it would drive up the price and some people simply prefer applying powder with a brush, but I think it would be nice to have the option. 

Overall, I would rate this product a 7/10, but it would be much higher if they made the packaging stronger. I would definitely recommend it to a friend and anyone who is looking for a good quality powder but for a low price. Thank you for reading, I will answer any questions in the comments xxx
