Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder

This has become a makeup staple for me over the past year or so. I never used to use a powder over my foundation but I have discovered the benefits of using the correct power with a good brush! For the purposes of this review, Rimmel Clear Complexion will be known as RCC (Like Credence Clearwater Revival only backwards!) The Claim -------------- This product claims to keep your skin shine free for up to five hours. It also says that it will clarify the skin and prevent breakouts through the use of "Pureskin(tm) complex". I have to admit I was rather dubious about the latter when I first used this. The ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product on the spur of the moment when I popped into my local chemist to buy the raved about Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara (which I love and will review soon by the way). I was having a "hmmm, what else can I buy...?" sort of moment, and upon seeing the price of this powder being under £4, I thought that would do (yep, I'm that kinda girl I'm afraid!) So, what do I think? I absolutely, 101% love this product. It does exactly what it says it should do, and it works brilliantly for me. I bought shade number 021 - Transparent, which according to the Rimmel London website is the only shade this powder is available in. The ...  Read the complete review

Yet again I was on the look out for a cheaper alternative to my Clinique Clarifying powder when I came across the Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder. I'm not usually a fan of the Rimmel brand at all, I find that most of their make-up is quite rubbish to be honest but this was under £5 and considering my Clinique powder costs me 3 times that, I decided to give it a try. The product itself comes in a pale mint green container with a clear plastic lid. It does feel a bit cheap, but not as bad as the E.L.F. powder I've recently tried. The lid has the product information in white lettering, and it claims it contains natural minerals. On the back of the ...  Read the complete review

I never used to be a fan of powder until my sister let me try hers. Then I realized that it was a must for setting your face and ensuring that your make up doesn't slip during the day. I find the colour of Rimmel's clear complexion pressed powder is very good for my pale skin and it goes on easily on top of foudation. It is also good for when maye you don't want to wear a full face of make up (like on holiday to a hot country), you can just dab on some concealer, sweep this over your face and it still gives quite good coverage. It gives a nice, even look to your face and leaves your skin feeling soft. My mum even commented my skin felt like ...  Read the complete review

A last minute grab at a train station Superdrug, this turned out to be an exceptional buy. Priced at around £4, Rimmel is a budget beauty brand and realistically not famous for their superior quality - however, this powder is perfect for my skin. The product is more than adequate at setting foundation and mattifying the shiny t-zone that those like me with oily combination skin suffer from. However, with the weather heating up I have worn this powder alone over only a dot or two of concealer, and though light and breathable, Rimmel complexion powder evens my skin tone and blends perfectly with all other makeup. Applied with a Kabuki brush, this powder sets concealer ...  Read the complete review
