Be careful with the Rimmel stay matte powder. It has talc in it, which can break you out!

Like everyone is saying, Rimmel Stay Matte. I have the oiliest skin ever & it took me 2 years to find a good powder, high end & drugstore. I use translucent and dust it over my face after I have done everything (foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, etc).

Pressed powders, such as Rimmel stay matte aren't as sanitary as loose powders because you are repeatedly re-dipping your brush. This can actually make your skin more oily, or cause breakouts!
I'd suggest a loose powder. Covergirl makes a great one that also smells amazing! :)

I think it's fine to use pressed powders (knowing they're a lot easier and cleaner lol)! All you have to do is make sure you use clean brushes. I have several powder brushes and after I use them I will have a day where I clean them which keeps your powder sanitary.

Don't most powders have talc though?

Thanks for all the help! I believe I have used products with talc in the past, and probably currently as well, and I don't think my skin reacts to it!
