Texture - Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder has a coarser powdery texture and a little fallback. With its lack of an applicator, mirror and durable packaging. The clear plastic screw lid looks cheap and flimsy. Personally, I am not a fan of Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder packaging at all. All packaged up in a sleek black plastic compact which is great for on the go touch up. I really like MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation packaging as it comes with a sponge applicator and a mirror. Packaging - For me, this is where the price difference really shows. I expect MAC will offer more promotions similar to this in the future as a way to stay competitive against other makeup brands. I have noticed that MAC rarely ever offer any discounts until very recently when they had a 20% off weekend. I have noticed that the price has been going up slightly every year which is why I have stopped buying them. On the other hand, MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is currently £23.50.
You are likely to get it for cheaper with its frequent 3 for 2 deal as well. Price - Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is only £3.99 and the price has been the same for many years.
