Advantages: Stopss shiney skin

Disadvantages: Doesnt come with a pad

I can't remember when I discovered this because as far as I know I have always used it! Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is simply powered that has be pressed down to look like it solid. It comes in a small black round dish with a clear round lid. the product itself is about 2cms thick which doesn't seem like a lot but it really does go a long way. On the lid it has in silver writing the rimmel London logo and stay matte in large righting with pressed powder underneath. It then has a box under that telling you it contains natural minerals.

If you turn this product over you can see the colour that the top with the number of the product. I always get 001 - Transparent, though other colours you can get are Peachy glow, Mohair, Champagne, Pink Blossom and Silky beige so you're sure to find a colour to match your tone. I use a re-usable pad to apply this which you can find in most places that sell make-up; I think this product should come with a face pad but it doesn't.

You can find this at most chemists, super drug and boots, and even in a few supermarkets. I often see this in T J Hughes though they never have the colour that I need. It can cost around £3.80 and can be found right now in boots in a 3 for 2 offer.

When I use this I rub my pad over the pressed powder and just wipe on after my foundation application though before my blusher is applied. It gives a soft cover that keeps your skin less shiny/greasy. My skin gets greasy a lot but with the use of this throughout the day it keeps me fresh. If I use too much then you can start to see it on your face sticking to dry skin so I wouldn't advised this for people with dry skin. Apart from this I think its an essential product and should be in every woman's handbag!

Summary: A great product for everyday use
