I have a nice skin but am falling under the older category. My friend gave it to me and it feels super soft, no need for a powder as it is soft and covers lovely. For and older skin type I would not recommend it as it does not last long and can tend to look a bit flaky. Price is extremely cheap and not for evening wear.
I agree, the mousse does tend to go flaky after a few hours. But maybe that is due to the fact that my skin is a bit dry, where as my best friend has an oily skin and Essence does miracles for her. Still a good buy considering the price!
