Hey Y'all!!!
Today we are going to be comparing two powders! The elf pressed powder and Rimmel London stay matte pressed powder. Both are matte pressed powders that are supposed to last all day, control oil, and minimize appearance of pores!
ELF Powder
This powder is in the color ivory and it is more yellow based. It is in a flip up container.
Yes, this product does so what it promises. It sticks to the skin and mattifies it. It lasts almost all day with very limited touch ups. My problem with the product is that it makes your makeup look very cakey even with just a thin layer. It also is super yellow based so even the lightest color is better for warm toned people than cool toned. Neutral tones people may be able to get away with it. It costs about $1!

Rimmel London Stay Matte
This product costs about $5 and is much bigger and much more product than the elf powder; making it less convenient to stick in a makeup bag. It matifys the face and it great for all days including days with bb cream because it's color (mine is natural) is just a nice sheen over the skin.
A few touch ups are needed maybe two or three times during the day depending in what you are doing but it does give a very natural look. It's also better for those who are cool tones because it seems that this powder is more pinkish tones. As they get darker, at least in the store, it appears that they get a little more yellow based.

Final Verdict
I do prefer the Rimmel powder over the elf powder. Although the Rimmel does have to be touched up more I like that it is very natural looking and that I don't have to watch my bronzer use because it's more linked toned. I've found a use for my elf powder though: concealer. It does work as a powdered concealer to set the green corrector over small blemishes! So that my opinion!
What do you think? Leave me a comment about these products if you use them or you love them! Which ones do you prefer?
Until next time!
Cheers! <3 :)
