The texture was smooth, silky, and a little powdery in the pan, but surprisingly, it wasn’t dry or dusty on my skin, even though the finish itself was very matte and flat. It lasted a good seven and a half hours before it faded noticeably.

The formula is said to have a “soft, smooth” consistency that provides “buildable” coverage. It has a very smooth, finely ground feel with light powder in the pan, but it wasn’t enough to be messy or difficult to pick up evenly. The finish was very matte to the point where it lay a little flat against the skin and tended to absorb any glow from bare skin or base products.
This type of texture hasn’t worked well for me in the past, but luckily I haven’t had any issues with this one! The powder was applied evenly to bare skin, blended well, and didn’t accentuate the natural texture of my skin. They had a medium to semi-opaque buildable color release that lasted for about eight to nine hours on me before it visibly faded.
