Maybelline Fit Me Powder and Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder Comparison/Review | TheMakeupDiaries

Powder is a crucial step in every girl's makeup routine. In my opinion, powder is magical. It does a variety of things such as setting your makeup, blending things in and does a great job at keeping your face shine free throughout the day. No matter what ocassion it is, whether I'm going out to a party or just staying at home with my friends I always need to apply powder to my face. Just this little step already makes you look ten times better! There are a variety of powders in the market and they are all meant to do different things. Searching for the perfect powder for you can be a struggle but once you find it, there's no going back. Before purchasing high end powders, I suggest starting off with drugstore ones. After trying these two affordable drugstore powders, I have to say I'm very impressed! Here's a mini review and comparison on the Maybelline Fit Me Powder and the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. Hope you enjoy xx

Maybelline Fit Me Powder

• retails for $7-$11(depending on where you live)
• comes with a mirror and applicator
• simple and durable packaging
• contains 0.3oz/9g of product

Claims:

• matches natural tone
• blends seamlessly
• let's skin breathe

My Thoughts: 

After carefully trying out this powder I have grown to love it. It's very soft and light. This powder does a great job at setting my makeup all while still letting my skin breathe. The quality is amazing and I agree with everything it claims to do. I think that it is definitely worth trying!!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder

• retails for $4-$7(depending on where you live)
• okay packaging
• contains 0.49oz/14g of product

Claims:

• up to 5 hours of natural shine control
• helps minimize the appearance of pores

My Thoughts: 

I have been using this powder for a very long time and I really enjoy it. The product itself is very good quality and it keeps my face matte for most of the day! It has a slight scent to it which does not bother me and this powder hides my pores well. Considering the price it's a steal!! 

Final Thoughts: 

I really enjoy both of these powders and they are great to have in my makeup collection. Both of the powders are of great quality and work extremely well. The Maybelline Fit Me Powder costs a few dollars more but, does more than the Rimmel London Powder. In my opinion, the Maybelline Fit Me Powder provides more coverage and gives me a more natural, glowy look while letting my skin breathe and the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder keeps my face shine free throughout the day which I like. Both of these powders are great purchases and I recommend them both. I don't have a favourite because I like them both and work well doing different things.
