Does a Great Job

I've been using this powder for years, and it gives a great performance. I have always used the transluscent shade of powder, and I've never noticed any cakey-ness or grainy-ness, even though I typically wear it over my foundation. Every four hours or so, you will need to re-apply this powder to reduce this shine creeping in, but I think that's typical for the T-zone. Overall, very satisfied with this product.

Great Product and Value

This pressed powder is so cheap. I have it in the shade translucent. It keeps my face shine free for about 4 hours before I need to blot and reapply. The colored versions have great pay off and add another little hint of coverage. This doesn't stick to my hairs or make my face look dry of cakey. It just sets the makeup and makes my skin feel soft. It has kind of a mineral scent. It's not very noti...read moreceable once you have it on. I do wish the lid opened differently, though. If it had a hinge and snapped tighter I would be able to take it with me in my purse. That's the only reason it lost a star. This is my favorite powder at the moment. Give it a try!

Must have setting powder

I use this powder to set my liquid foundations and it works amazing. Keeps my make up in place and my skin perfectly matte for hours. Its a nice light coverage and my skin never looks cakey. This is a product I wouldn't use alone as I prefer a more fuller coverage look. And can we talk about the price, couldn't be more affordable.

My Favorite Pressed Powder

I adore the translucent powder as the perfect powder to help set my foundation and concealer. It doesn't look too cakey or add undesired color. It does help make my face look more matte, but reapplying throughout the day is a must, but the packaging makes carrying it in your purse difficult (the lid comes off easily). I would prefer it in a compact.

Love this!

This is my go-to powder! It fits my skin type perfectly, and covers up shine without needing to apply a lot! Lasts a long time, too!

Luv it!

I've never written a review, so I must be impressed! I use this to set my makeup. I'm very oily, so reapply several times daily...and it never feels heavy. It is very light in color so choose a darker shade than you normally would. Also use a brush. Flawless!

Great for the price, light coverage

This powder is amazing for the price, I used it for shine touch ups (I have combination skin), but would not compare it to clinique's stay matte pressed powder. Clinique's is more of a foundation, having better and more build-able coverage. Rimmel's is less coverage and more powdery/easy to kick up and the packaging sucks, it should be in a compact. Rimmel has some great quality for the price though!

Loved at first, but mid day comes along...

This looks flawless when applying my makeup in the morning. I used it over my Stay Matte foundation, and it creates and true "matte" finish. Around noon, I feel like it seriously starts to come off, and at that point its time to reapply. I don't expect anything to stay on at all times, but I expected it to stay on longer than a couple hours. I really do love the look it gives me, but it just doesn...read more't last long. If it lasted longer it would definitely be a staple. I still have it in my makeup bag, just in case!

My go-to

This is the only powder that I have ever liked. Matte, smooth, and a very faint scent. I've repurchased 3 times.

Affordable and Useable!

This retails for about $4(USD) at my local drugstore. This very lightly bumps up the coverage of your foundation(if you're using it as a setting powder), makes your skin look smoother, increases the longevity of your makeup and also extremely budget-friendly!
