Rimmel London's Stay Matte has been talked about and loved by many, so my expectations from this product were obviously quite high. Does it live up to the hype? Read more to see whats my take on this product.
Claim: Up to 5 hours natural shine control with natural minerals. Helps minimize the appearance of pores. Dermatologically tested.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
 My Experience:
I am probably the last person on the face of earth to talk about Stay Matte. Still I am hoping that you will take some time out to read this review. Stay Matte comes in 7 shades. Luckily I was able to get my hands on the powder in Shade 001-Transparent.
The packaging is nothing fancy. The transparent lid seems flimsy and the only elaborate thing is the  Rimmel's logo engraved on the powder. Even an applicator is not included but then appearances can be deceptive for Rimmel successfully keeps up with its promise. The powder is not only transparent on my NC 35 but is also transparent on even darker skin tones.
The powder in itself has a very soft texture which makes it very easy to apply. In just one swipe, it does its job giving your face a matte appearance and hence leaving no room for further application. To apply anymore is to give your face a cakey a look. It keeps my face matte for upto 4 hours.
While it claims to minimise the pores, the powder does very little with regard to this and only a slight diminishing takes place. It is also important to mention that it highlights the dry patches of your skin so if you have a dry skin it will be mandatory for you to use a moisture before applying it.
All in all Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder lives upto its reputation. While it comes with some trivial flaws, the powder effectively does its job with a reasonable price tag. It has turned out to be a staple in my daily routine.

Pros:

  • Upto 4 hours of shine control.
  • Stays transparent on avariety of skin tones.
  • Layering is not necessary, mattifies your face in one swipe.
Cons:
  • No applicator.
  • Packaging is not sturdy.
  • Highlights dry patches.
Cost & Availability: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is easily available at all leading stores across the country at the price of PKR 750. Like Rimmel's facebook page to stay updated.
My Rating: 4.25/5
