I bought this Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder from tj hughes for £2.50 and I am very pleased with it and it's price even if it is cheaper in the shop I will definatly buy it for it's orginal price! It is light weight and easy to apply, dosn't clog your pores and is soft! It lasts for about 4 hours and looks nice and fresh when on. I have very fair skin and it is hard to find a perfect match with powders, concealers, foundation etc but this was perfect! It is good for popping in your handbag and topping up if you need to, with out any hassle and dosn't look caked. Gives a flawless finish when on foundation (which you've left to dry in for a while!) or just to give your face a nice smoothing glow if you're popping out for a while. I havn't used any other powder since :D

I have always bought expensive powders believing the price would reflect the quality of the product but Rimmels pressed stay matte powder has blown that idea out of the water. This is a perfect powder - light, easy to apply and removes the right amount of shine without making your face look like it has been dusted. Being quite pale I thought the colour palette would not have a product for my skin tone but actually the 002 Pink Blossom is perfect. And it's made with the new buzz ingredient of the year - minerals - so it's also somewhat guilt free when it comes to caring for our faces.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is cheap, good range of colours, keeps skin looking non shiny, I have used this for years, occasionally nipping to try some other more expensive brand and always end up coming back to it. for the cost, I'd say try it, if it doesn't work for you, you haven't really lost much at all.

I am no 'spring chicken' and have been using Rimmel make-up for many years. I particularly like their Stay Matte pressed powder, as it suits my oily skin, is quick and easy to apply, as stated above, and lasts for about 4 hours, when it can easily be replenished without leaving streaky marks.
If out for a day and makeup needs a quick fix, I like not having to carry a great load of assorted makeup with me, the Stay Matte, and a lipstick is all I need.
However, as I also stated above, I am now unable to obtain from anywhere, the shade I am used to, 'Champagne', but also unable to ascertain whether Rimmel have ceased producing that particular shade. If anyone can advise I would be very pleased.

Like the texture and coverage. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is the best powder I have found in a long time, cant fault it. Have not noticed any bad points yet.

I absolutely LOVE this powder/foundation. I have never used a foundation before, and I've always used powder, only because I don't like the "cakey" look of foundation, and also because I already have very oily skin, I don't need any more shine. I was skeptical to buy the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder because it is a foundation/powder. I bought it anyway because of the great price compared to other compacts. It goes on wonderfully, covers a number of flaws beautifully, all while feeling very light on my skin giving it a very healthy warm glow. I have definitely found the perfect match for my problem skin!

I wouldn't buy the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder again, its hard to put on and i don't think its value for money.

I would like to see a hypoallergenic formula of Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, or something especially for sensitive eyes and skin. Although it has a light texture that covers well, I have sensitive eyes and skin, and I did get a slight reaction in my eyes to the powder.

I bought Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder a couple of months ago and I am very pleased with it. It lasts for around 6 hours which I think is good and keeps your skin looking non shiny. It is not an expensive powder you defiantly get what you pay for. It covers up blemishes very well and really does give your skin that matte look.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder works really well, covering blemishes and leaving your skin shine-free and smooth. I'd recommend it to anyone. It lasts quite long, and is very easy to apply.

I found that the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder was really good for softening my naturally shiny skin. It blended well with my skin tone too, was easy to apply and lasted for several hours. After a fairly short time, my skin began to dry out and become slightly flaky.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is a wonderful product, significatly better then covergirl or maybelline stuff. Maybe even better than l'oreal since their complete balance didn't really fight my shine and it's twice more expensive too!
