I have used this Jane Iredale product now for 6 years.  Once introduced to it I fell in love with the appearance it gives your skin.  Does not flake or look drying on the skin.  Use with the stamping brush (bought separately) and stipple it onto your face with this brush.  It leaves no residue and makes your skin look like porcelain.  Just make sure you get the right color shade for your skin.  I am fair skin and this works great.
