The consistency of the foundation is fairly thick and goes onto the skin smoothly. I found it worked best when applied with a makeup sponge or with fingers and then buffing it out with a brush. When I tried applying it from the back of my hand straight to my face with a brush it went on uneven and was harder to blend out.
As far as controlling oil, the foundation lasted for about 4 hours with powder during the summer. (Keep in mind I live in a hot, humid place.) However I during the colder months it lasted about 7-8 hours with minimal shine. Almost double the wear time! My skin just changes quite a bit in the seasons. I think if you have combo-oily skin then this will work for you well, but if you have vey oily skin you may want to skip this one. However, it's not that expensive: it averages from $5 - $6 wherever Covergirl cosmetics are found.
The powder costs about the same and comes in a blue compact for the oily skin range. As you can see from the pics I have almost used it up. I found that again, like the foundation, this powder seemed to last on me longer in the winter than in the summer. My skin is more on the extreme side, but if you have normal or combo/oily then it should work.
I also tried the Covergirl Invisible concealer in the shade Honey, although I don't have pictures of that since I finished it up and threw away the packaging about a month ago! The concealer works great for under-eye circles, but it does not do a good job of covering up dark spots on the face. It comes in a tube with a sponge tip applicator and is sold for around $5.00.
