Rimmel Stay Matte Primer Review

Stay Matte Primer

This budget primer has been a great new addition to the makeup routine of this oily skinned blogger. My t-zone gets oily, especially on my nose. When Walgreens had Rimmel for 50% off last month, and I had coupons, I finally pulled the trigger on the Stay Matte Primer and the Stay Matte Foundation.

These are Rimmel’s claims about the foundation:

Ultra lightweight formula that minimizes the appearance of pores.
Controls shine for up to 8 hours creating a soft, perfectly matte complexion.
Won’t feel heavy or greasy.

So, how well does it live up to it’s claims?

It is in fact a lightweight formula. When I apply it to my skin I don’t feel like there is something sitting on my skin. Minimizing the appearance of pores? Maybe some, but not a huge amount. It is not at the top of my list of primers that smooth out the appearance of my skin.

As far as controlling shine, it absolutely does! You will not be matte all day, but I noticed a very significant reduction in oil breakthrough when used with the foundation. I have yet to test it with other foundations, so all I can say is it works with the foundation from the same line.

Won’t feel heavy or greasy, true! It felt soft and a bit velvety, but not at all greasy. If you have ever used the Smashbox Photofinish Primer, then you know that it has the faintest slick feel to it. This does not.

This comes in a squeeze tube, which I like. I much prefer squeeze tubes for primers.

This is my new favorite primer, and you can’t beat the price. I do not know about how it performs on normal to dry skin, but I would assume you aren’t looking for a mattifying primer if that is your skin type anyway.

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer retails for around $5.99 (varies by location) and can be purchased at drugstores nationwide.
