I have combination skin, that is oil-prone in the summertime. The loose powder might be a little messy when twisting the lid off but it didn't bother me because of the matte finish. The matte foundation made me look less shiny and absorbed some of the excess oil on my forehead. I received it in shade 03 is fair to light with a peach undertone. When I first got it, I thought it might not work but it matched my perfectly, and I forgot it was on my face. I was sweating a lot outside since it was 90 degrees. I was worried the loose powder might melt off but to my surprise, later on, I wiped it off with a toner pad there was a lot of the foundation on it.
