This powder helped control my face oiliness to a certain extent. Most powders leave my face oily. The powder has a nice finish, it did not look too flourly or caked up. The colour was yellow enuff for my Asian skin (I chose Golden Dore). I did not use the applicator given but used a sponge to apply, and the coverage it gave was quite good. The quality of this powder did surprise me a little, coz I used to use it in the past and find that this new improved formula is much better and less cakey. It's cheap too.
