This was the first drugstore powder I ever tried, and I still use it to this day. Despite the hype Rimmel Stay Matte gets, I think this powder is much better quality. It's very finely milled so it leaves a very soft, natural finish that keeps your skin feeling smooth. If you're SUPER oily this might not be for you unless you put a setting spray on top, but because the powder is so nice I am willing to sacrifice a little more oiliness and a few more £ to use this over other powders.

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with combination, fair tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, oily with fine texture.
The powder is extremely light weight and doesn't look cakey like many other powders I have tried. It's fairly long lasting and mattifying but does not clog up pores. Light to medium coverage and would recommend using it on top of foundation for extra coverage. However, for blemish free or even skin tones, the powder alone can add a light veil of coverage and prevent shine through out the day.

I use a little of this over my foundation to help set it. The colours match well and it lasts all day. It doesn't feel cakey or thick. It s a good price and lasts well.

I found this product amazing, the powder is extremely lightweight and it leaves your skin with a lovely subtle luminous glow which lasts throughout a busy or relaxed day.However, the reason why I am not giving this product a full five star as I found that I hit pan quite quickly, I have no idea why this is as a little goes a long way and I only put a small amount on my brush, otherwise I love it!

I love this powder. It does not cost much atall, and is worth every penny for setting my foundation incredibly! It finishes off any face of makeup, and provides the face with an incredibly smooth texture. I bought it a few months ago, and definitely could not live without it. Also, it is easy to carry around as it is compact, with a mirror to make sure your makeup looks perfect throughout the day.

Loving this powder at the moment, it's my favourite. I love the way my skin looks once I've set my foundation and concealer, it doesn't leave you cakey and gives you a smooth,flawless finish!

Lovely powder, but I get the same effect and lasting power with the Rimmel stay matte. The packaging of this is a lot more special than the Rimmel though!
