"2. No drying time required (like if it had been sponged on)"

I agree with most of your points - the only powder I've tried is StarBlend. It's not saturated enough for most of my tastes, but I do like it for some things. And it sure is fast!

But the drying time issue surprises me, I wonder if you're applying your makeup too wet. I haven't ever noticed any drying time for my base - for my lines, of course (though it's only a couple seconds)

I spray my cakes with water then I swipe the cake until it's totally dry and I apply the makeup with short quick circular patting motions. It's dry basically as soon as you lift the sponge from the spot, certainly within 5 seconds.
