Lasting Finish 25HR Dual Finish Powder Reviews

For years I have been using Clinique powder and have been trying to find something cheaper as I cannot justify $55 for make-up now that mortgages and kids are my life. I’ve been looking and looking for something to come close and I think I’ve found it! I’m so happy!
I picked this up for half price at Priceline. $8.95 compared to $55. And I may even go as far to say I’m liking this better than my Clinique powder!
It doesn’t have quite as much coverage but I really like how it makes my face look over foundation. It sets it perfectly, reduces shine, gives my face a lovely silk finish, and I must say even at the end of the day I’m still not shiny! I’ve never in my life had this!
It really does keep shine at bay all day.
I’m just using a brush to apply over foundation, or a powder puff.
I haven’t attempted it wet yet.
I’m not sure it offers enough coverage to wear alone and build up but I’m very happy with it being my setting powder and keeping my oily face at bay all day.
I’m in love...

I use the Rimmel Long Lasting 25 Liquid Foundation with this powder and I find they complement each other beautifully. This powder provides a good matte finish and is great to use after any brand of liquid foundation.

I personally haven't wet the powder and then applied it - I like using powder as powder! The idea of wetting the powder doesn't appeal to me much.

This compact powder overall is great because it's lightweight, is easy to apply and gives a shine-free finish.

Rimmell Lasting Finish Powder Foundation - Comes in a beautiful red compact, with its own sponge and mirror.

As to the claim "Buildable Coverage", this isn’t the case at all! One is "hard pressed” to get any type of coverage at all and while looking dark in the compact, it went on very light.

I was using the product wet and nearly drowned it with water, but still couldn't build up any sort of coverage, as the product tends to soak up water while still remaining hard and chalky. In addition, I have dry, mature skin and it made my skin feel even drier.

I brought this product at priceline at one of their Rimmel 3 for 2 sales. The powder itself comes in a cute red small compact container, it comes with a mirror and a small pad. I brought the powder in silky beige 2 shades darker than my foundation. I personally prefer to use my real techniques expert face brush to apply the powder. The powder is very light on your skin, didn't require much at all, a little goes a long way. I pair this product with the rimmel lasting finish in true ivory. It says the product is waterproof but i am yet to test this out as it is winter. It says it has a buildable coverage but i don't think it is more of a light coverage.

I was lucky enough to trial this product.
I am not overly fond of it, I found it extremely similar to my Maybelline Fitme powder, but this one crumbled more when ysing a brush to apply.
The packaging is sleek and simple.
The coverage of this product by itself doesnt wow me. But add it with the foundation and it smooths and creates a flawless base.
I find it not very buildable either, this could be because it crumbles (as i mentioned before)
Will be sticking with my FitMe powder.

This powder is a wonderful addition to any makeup bag!

I had the privilege of trying it thanks to Beauty Heaven and am now a convert to the Rimmel Face Lasting Finish 25hr range. Prior to this trial I used Revlon and MAC face makeup exclusively because, to be honest, I never thought drug store brands could perform so well.

The Lasting Finish powder has sleek packaging with a pretty red colouring which makes it easy to find in any makeup bag. It is a decent size without being too cumbersome. A lot of face powders come in oversized packaging which isn't convenient for on the go or a night out, however this one is different.

I am personally very big on smells and the 25hr Powder has a very soft fragrance that diminishes immediatley upon application. It doesn't look so fine in the pan but when blended in conjuction with the Lasting Finish Foundation the coverage is flawless yet not cakey. It also works great as a light coverage oil reliever through out the day. I am yet to try it in its "wet formula" that the package suggests so I cannot comment on the performance there but as a dry powder it works a treat!

Amazingly the powder and natural finish look lasted longer than I needed to - surviving a full working day and an evening dinner outing. So the 25hr claim could perhaps be true!

For the great price tag and the quality of the product I would happily recommend this to anyone and will be repurchasing myself.

I was lucky enough to be sent this pressed powder to trial. The powder is packaged in a sleek red box, that included a sponge and mirror. Perfect for on the go. I generally use powder to set my foundation and use for touch ups during the day. This little guy is definitely a winner. The powder is so soft and velvety. It is finely milled and feels like heaven on the skin. It seemed to be a light-to medium coverage with a matte finish. And this powder did exactly what i wanted it to. It prolonged the wear of my liquid foundation and was perfect to touch up my make-yp throughout the day. I was really impressed.

Rimmel states that this foundation can also be used wet for a fuller coverage. I found this a bit daunting, definitely sounds like a recipe for cake face! I didn't have the courage to use the powder wet for my entire face, but i did use it wet at the end of the day when i needed a touch up. And it held up surprisingly well! There was enough covergae there to cover up blemishes, but i doubt it would last all day. I will continue to experiment with using the powder wet. But i really love it just as a pressed powder.

Firstly I really love the little compact this comes in. It is slim and sleek and fits easily into my handbag. It flips open for a place to store the sponge (I like that it doesn't get stored on top of the powder) and also has a mirror which is great for touch ups. I used this as part of the trial team, along with the 25hr nude foundation and I was pretty happy with the results.

You don't need a lot of the powder to cover your face but it does need touching up after a few hours, though I think that was also due to the effect the foundation had on my skin. While it does give a matte effect if you add too much it does have a tendency to look overly powdery on your skin. It easily covers up shine and sets your foundation to a lovely soft finish. While I wasn't amazed with the powder it does do what it sets out to do and I would recommend using this if you also have the matching foundation for best effect.

I trialled this as part of the BH trial team (thanks). This is a really silky powder (is that possible?). I've tried other powders in the past, both loose and pressed, and this doesn't give the caked on look that some of the other brands have. This might have something to do with the pigmentation, but even if you glide you finger over it, you can see how finely milled it is and the results are reflected in the finish.
