Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review (Recommended product for *Makeup Diaries*)

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing a pressed powder (duh right ^ ?) 
 So what this product claims..VV          (pictures at the end!! :) (No photos are mine..also the swatch pictures are not the color I have! :) I have..001 transparent     ;)

                                                     Claims:
  • Up to 5 hours natural shine control (with natural minerals)
  •  Helps minimize the appearance of pores. 


                          Do I believe thats what this product really does? Well...

 I think that this powder doesn't even have up to 5 hours of keeping the face matte. Maybe 3? I have to redo my face several times during the day (even if I packed on my first application) But when I reapply, I go ahead and use a heavier powder so it will help the horrible shiniess. This powder makes your face look smooth, but it can be easy to look chalky and cakey. I don't like this product very well but, if you don't have an oily face like mine, and you want natural, light, coverage, I say go for it. Its cheap ($ 3-5) and natural. Also it doesn't break ME out, but everyones different & I've heard different stories. Overall, if your face is oily/dry I wouldn't recommend. It will make the dry skin look noticeable! Other than that, if your a beginner, want something cheap, & natural looking coverage, you should be good! :) I also don't beleive they have a good color selection! 


Pros:

  • Price
  • (Can be) smooth & natural coverage (depends)
  • Doesn't break me out


Cons:
  • Doesn't keep face matte for long (also makes dry skin look noticeable)
  • (Can be) cakey/chalky (depends)
  • Not good color selection 

                                                                   Now for pictures!                                                              (see the dry patches..?)                    VVV
