I have very oily skin, so I bought this powder foundation because I thought it would be less likely to break down. It's a powder foundation that's not too dry, and when you glide it over with a puff, you can apply it in a thin film. I'm using it instead of the Roji Rosa Multi-Foundation Puff (Slim). A standard puff is fine, but the Roji Rosa puff seems to apply a more even, thin film. The coverage isn't as good with a brush, so I think the puff is better. When I apply it with the puff, the coverage is fine, and it doesn't feel sticky after application. It does break down (or rather, it melts away) after a while, but I think it's better than liquid or cushion foundations. It's a small difference, though. Considering the ease of application, I often use it when I'm in a hurry.
