The consistency is like a thin white cream. It feels smooth on the skin. Not heavy. Nice mattifying effect. Holds makeup in place and looking pretty for a good amount of time. I have the setting spray too and it works well also. I like wearing over my sunscreen to keep shine at bay and it helps with that. It鈥檚 not super grippy/tacky feeling and I like that but maybe you won鈥檛 if that鈥檚 what you鈥檙e looking for. Those type seem to feel heavy on my skin.
