I bought this to try because I wanted
to see if it was better than the Rimmel one because they are the same price and
I love the Rimmel one, but this one has better packaging. Also SEVENTEEN did a
Shine Away Pressed Powder, which was discontinued and I think this is the same
powder but re-branded. I tried the Shine Away and didn’t like it as much as the
Rimmel one, but I wanted to try this one just in case they are not the same.
The packaging is a black plastic
compact with the logo on the front and the inside of the lid is a mirror. You
get a face sponge and a plastic cover which protects the powder and the sponge
sits of top of it so that it is not touching the powder. On the base of the
compact is all the relevant information. For application you can use the sponge
that is included or your favourite powder brush. The formula is oil-free and
you get 10g of product. I have the shade Natural Fair, which is the lightest
shade.
This powder is supposed to mattify your
skin and get rid of shine for sixteen hours. After use your face should have a
flawless satin matte finish.
I like the packaging because it looks
very sleek and the mirror is very handy. The powder mattifies your face, gets
rid of shine and leaves your face looking bright, smooth and flawless with a
satin matte finish. My face stayed matte for around eight hours and then there
was a little shine on my forehead. It didn’t quite make sixteen hours, but I
don’t wear make-up for that long in the day anyway and it all depends on your
skin type. As I have oily skin, the powder wouldn’t last the longest on me even
though it is oil-free. I was initially concerned that the powder wasn’t
transparent (like Shine Away) and that the colour would look obvious on my face,
but it may as well have been transparent because it looked completely natural.
Lastly, the only problem I had is that it is quite powdery/dusty, so you lose a
lot of product, but it doesn’t cake on your face.
Overall it is a brilliant powder and
definitely one of my favourites and a contender for the Rimmel Stay Matte.
