I love the ease of application and how much coverage you get from this, which I was not expecting from a powder. However, the finish does seem to be somewhat powdery/cakey when you first apply it, though that does seem to fade soon after application; I've noticed that it looks much less powdery as soon as I finish the rest of my face, though for that reason I felt like it lost half a star. It loses a full star for me because not only does it seems to wear heavy after a few hours (despite the initial lightweight feeling), but also begins to bother my skin. I have very oily, very sensitive skin, and after 4 hours my skin appears to be oilier than it would without foundation on, and after 5-6 hours my skin starts to itch and I feel the need to desperately remove it. Ultimately, I would recommend the foundation for most people, but with caution if you find you have similar oil/sensitivity issues.

Works wonderfully on my very oily, very sensitive skin -- probably my HG foundation. Most foundations leave me itching after a few hours of wear, but Clinique's foundations have not bothered me at all after a full day's wear. Because it's the only foundation that I've truly been able to forget that I'm wearing, I would consider it lightweight, as far as liquid foundations go.
