When I purchased this I mis-read the packaging and thought it was a cream-to-powder, so I was a bit skeptical. The good points of this product: this is the first foundation EVER that exactly matched my skintone (super-duper pale), it blended easily, it lasted all day (from 8am to 3am), and it left a nice mattish finish that looked natural. The compact is also designed very well and the mirror inside is huge. My only complaints about this foundation is that it was a bit too drying for my sensitive, dry skin and it *may* have caused me to break out. However, I can't say for sure since I was on a road trip when I used this so it could have been stress, hormones, or I sometimes have problems just washing my face with "foreign" water as silly as that sounds. (I guess my skin is used to the water in my apartment LOL). I will have to use it some more here at home in order to figure out if this foundation was the cause or not. At any rate, it covered the blemishes well and I still looked presentable. :) I think that someone with oily or combo skin would love this foundation.
