When I am in a hurry I can avoid powdering between colors but it seems I make a big mess with too much powder that I have to clean up or I have color transfer. So with powdering in between my makeup takes about 13 minutes.
You don't have any problem with cornstarch? I find that aside from reacting some with the makeup it seems to be much coarser than talc. I know that one of the best attributes of the theatrical powders is that they are ground even finer than baby powder so they do a better job of setting the makeup. But hey, if it works for you (and it looks like a pretty likable face, well done) then good for you.
Not only does it stay on but you can carry it in your pocket just IN CASE it decides to take a hike (like after you eat). You have coverage at your fingertips. PLUS ... for pictures, the end has a glosser, which shows up in pictures BEAUTIFULLY. It's shiny instead of flaky.

If you have great lip color at your fingertips, maybe you need more makeup tips. (Hint: It's supposed to go on your face!)
