Rimmel Stay Matte is the compact so many of us grew up with, and oily-skin reviewers still rate it. People report a few solid hours of shine control and a finish that doesn't look powdery when you press it on lightly. The packaging is basic and the compact feels a bit flimsy, but for the price it's a savvy top-up powder to keep in every bag.
UK beauty creators often name it as one of the best budget pressed powders for oily skin.
Oily-skin reviewers often say it controls shine for around four to six hours and is easy to reapply. Common gripes are flimsy packaging and that the darker range is limited.
