Rimmel Stay Matte or 17 Miracle Matte Review and Comparison

Rimmles stay matte powder is arguably the most talked about drugstore powder in the beauty blogging community and rightly so. 

For around the £4 mark you get 14g of product in a variety of shades that does what it says to a reasonably good extent. 5 Hours of natural shine control.

I have been a user of the product for a good couple of years now. However recently it hasn't been cutting it. I have found that it has not been controlling shine so well and has a tendency to look caked on. I get around 3 hours of shine control  and that just isn't enough, especially as I usually wear makeup for around 16 hours a day.

I have tried my fair share of drug store powders in my time and Rimmel topped then until I discovered 17 miracle matte powder. A recommendation from Missbudgetbeauty.

You pay around the same price for miracle matte although receive 4g less of product (10g)

Despite this I much prefer the packaging as it seems much stronger and sports a huge mirror. This is defiantly more travel/hand bag friendly.

When I purchased Miracle matte I was offered two shades and went with Natural Fair (I have rimmel stay matte in 001 translucent,) The colour is pretty translucent although is more red toned which is a downfall of the product, as I prefer a yellow undertone. 

Despite this 17's Miracle Matte powder keeps me shine free for at least 7-8 before I have to blot or touch up! 

I honestly cannot see myself using another powder now, however I would like to try mac's blotting powder as I've read many good reviews. What are your favorit shine control powders?
