The formula was very blendable and easy to work with, so I think it is more forgiving, particularly shades with some shimmer in them.  The matte shades can be slightly powdery but do not look dry or dusty when applied, though they can darken a bit if not applied over drier or more matte skin (or a base).  They wore between eight and 10 hours on me before fading noticeably.</p>
