Stay Matte Primer

I don’t wear makeup, but you’d never know it thanks to the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer. This little tube has become an essential part of my daily morning routine, and I never leave home without it, whether I’m heading to work or packing for vacation. The ultra-lightweight formula is exactly what my skin needed. It goes on smooth, never greasy or heavy, and immediately gives my skin a soft, matte finish that lasts all day. Even without foundation or powder, this primer leaves my face looking fresh, even, and shine-free and it somehow still feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. What I love most is how it makes my skin look youthful and healthy. It blurs imperfections, reduces the appearance of pores, and gives me the confidence of a polished look without layering on makeup. It’s also a great base if you do wear makeup because it grips product beautifully and extends wear time. This is one of those simple, no-fuss products that quietly transforms your skin and routine. If you’re looking for a way to look refreshed, smooth, and shine-free with or without makeup, this is the one to try. A true staple that earns its place in my bag every single day!

I love that this product keeps my makeup on all day without having to reapply. I use Maybelline fit me foundation and concealer. I have tried other primers such as One/Size secure the sweat primer and it just sheds or pills off, it doesn't want to stay. Plus it doesn't keep my face oil free or sweat free. But the Rimmel london primer really works wonders with the Maybelline foundation and concealer. Also I have used some other higher priced silicone primers and they only help with my pores but not keeping my face oil free. But the Rimmel london primer works!! The only thing I would say about this primer is around the corners of my nose I still struggle with keeping my skin oil free around that area and my chin sometimes. It gets shiny. But even if my face does get shiny throughout the day it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be with other primers. Thank God I found this primer. I will continue to buy it. This primer truly makes a difference when it comes to keeping my skin mostly shine free and oil free. I love this stuff.

This primer worked well for me. I put it in my tee zone which can get a bit oily some times. It keeps it matte and makes my pores less visible. The price is good too which is very important for me. I used it both in summer and winter!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have been experimenting with different primers and Rimmel London Stay Matte - 003 - Primer is my new go-to primer. Initially the thickness and texture is a little off-putting. First, I dab this over my trouble spots such as, cheek rosacea and larger pore areas and also around my crows feet, and then to the rest of my face. When I smooth it out over my face , the texture becomes a little more silky to apply. After it dry's, I go ahead and apply my foundation with a brush. The foundation goes on much smoother. I thought I was imagining this, but after quite a few hours of wearing it, my skin feels like it is being "tightened", especially in the 'crows feet' area near my eyes. This sensation is very similar to using a "5-minite wrinkle eraser" product. If I use the primer alone, I get the same sensation, so, it's not from my foundation, etc. Again, this seems to happen after about 6 hours after application. I like the way it feels like it is tightening up the wrinkles. Since I only use a small amount, it's a good value for the price. I am very happy with primer and intend to continue to use it.

I have over-oily skin and at my wits end trying every conceivable foundation and primer to to keep my oily skin in check during the work day. I also would want a primer to minimize pores and soften flaws and give matte but healthful finish. If you seek something truly mattifying, this is it. It does and excellent job mattifying and holds back shine all day. Except my makeup wears off, and it gives a chalky white effect to my general coloring. This is with makeup over it. It did minimize pores, but did not have a smoothing effect over the general surface of my skin, nor a blurring effect over other imperfections. It is a cream, not the silicon gel-type of primer. The cream dries, and once makeup applied, you are left with an unflattering, pale effect. I gave 3 stars for price and packaging, and that it did keep it's word that it indeed mattifies.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Love This Primer! I’ve tried a lot of primers over the years, but this one is a total standout! It goes on super smoothly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t clog my pores at all — which is a huge plus for my sensitive skin. My makeup stays flawless all day without getting patchy or greasy, even after hours of wear. The best part? It performs just as well (if not better!) than high-end primers, but at a fraction of the price. It blurs imperfections, helps foundation glide on beautifully, and keeps everything in place from morning to night. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, affordable primer that won’t cause breakouts, this one is a must-have in your makeup bag! 💖

Very good product..Will buy again.

This stuff really works well! No shiney face all night! Is not thick or cakey. I don't wear a lot of make up, so I put this on, either alone or with a little powder and that's it. It is really awesome! Best primer I've tried! Lasts all night! Can't feel it, doesn't look like I'm wearing anything, but tones down any red and prevents shine! Love it!

it's exactly as its description
