Other than hitting pan, when your powder comes out in one big clump, that’s a great indicator that you need a new one.
I had my old faithful Bourjois Eclat Mineral for about a year. I decided to replace it with a new product and I was looking specifically of a product with ingredients to help fight against break outs.
I’m a 28 year old with the skin of a hormonal adolescent.
The back of the Rimmel Clear Complexion powder reads:
Pure and shine-free finish for up to 5 hours. Clarifies skin thanks to PureSkin complex known to minimize skin breakouts. Controls shine and mattifies skin.
You can use it with or without a foundation, it’s very lightweight and provides a way to lighten red areas and give an even coverage. It’s great at preventing your skin from looking oily.
I would say that this is much better at keeping your skin matte than covering blemishes.
At £3.99, you can’t expect miracles but it’s a nice little every day powder that does what it says on the tin.
What powder do you use?
I’m yet to even try powder to be honest, I’m a big fan of the dewy look and feel scared that powder would make my face look flat!? This looks really natural though.

i love the result!
I use number 7 but I do find it wears off in the day – I might buy this to live in my handbag as an alternative. Do they have a pale shade Corrine?

I actually don’t use powder. I don’t like that matte finish and prefer the dewy complexion!
But this looks so good on your skin tone!
I’m really enjoying your beauty posts babe!!! xxxx
I put a link to your blog on my latest post :)Hope thats OK!?

I use this powder daily, it’s so good for how cheap it is, but I really love it. I’ve used it on a daily basis for months and I have no interest in changing it anytime soon. Although, I don’t know if it’s just me and my clumsiness, but the packaging keeps breaking when it’s in my makeup bag, it’s happened about 4 times and I have to keep buying new ones.

Your skin looks great so you can’t argue with those results! I always need a mattifying powder because my skin is hella oily, but I like to use a translucent one so I’m not adding more color!
I think I have a powder that I use to help my makeup stay in place all day. But I don’t really use it too often-only during special occasions. Love the outcome though… Considering looking into it 🙂

The powder looks lovely on you I had never try this product from them.
I find powder near impossible to use, it just seems to move all my foundation no matter what tool I use to apply it and undo any work my concealer has done. I would love to know the secret because I hear it makes everything last longer :/ x
It looks great on you! I’m not a big powder using but I do use them sometimes on my T-zone.
Looks good on your skin! The shade is perfect and sounds like a good product. I’ll check it out 🙂

This powder looks really lovely on you, Corrine! I rarely use powder thanks to my dry skin but when I do, I use bounce in between Chanel pressed powder, a Rimmel and another from Physician Formula.

I’m always looking for something to keep my skin matte, I like the sound of this 🙂
This sounds like a good basic wear powder. I’m currently using one of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders.
nice post!!!

It gives a natural look. I’ve only used Etude’s powder and it’s been just fine. I’ll need to look for this.
It looks like an amazing product! Great review, Corinne! 🙂

The powder looks good on you! I’m sorry to hear you still have breakouts at 28, I get them on my chin very often and it’s driving me crazy!!
