It's great for full-coverage..if u use it along with a mattifying gel/balm and set it with loose powder u shud be fine (same goes for all the other foundations that make u look oily an hour later).
It's great for party makeup, works well with the strobe cream and high-beam as well.
Psquared check on my fb I got a pic with Kryolan on, from what I knw u have to mix a few shades together to get the shade tht best matches ur skin tone......
I agree with Gina that you need mattifying gel below and powder after if you want to keep looking reasonably matte with these thick foundations.
I like face to face super matte antishine. tried smashbox and all the others and this blows them away. It's £16.50 in the UK.
For foundation, try MAC full coverage before you try Kryolan, it's a creme foundation and providing you can get an exact match, I think it's great. I use it everyday (very light layer) and for special occasions. I use a flat synthetic foundation brush (Japonesque); it just glides onto the skin and can be built up depending how heavy you want it to be.

I like MAC full coverage foundation...would have loved to try Kryolan too if I would have been able to try it first...I'm a little skeptical of buying foundation without actually trying it on me...only if they had a store in Chicago!!
i use kryolan/tv stick in ivory sometimes for special occassions like weddings..it gives u a full/heavy coverage..make sure to use alot of powder on top to set it ..this way it will last longer..over all its not bad n lasts u a long time..but i persinally like light/medium coverage llike mac studio fix n maybelline matte mousse
btw $40 for kryolan is a rip off..here in pakistan u would get them alott cheaper
I have triedddd:
Mac Studio Fix
Mac Studio Fix Fluid
Bobbi Brown oil-free
Bobbi Brown (the glow one cant remember)
Make Up Forever HD
Makeup Forever (2 others from them)
Revlon
LOreal
Benefit
You name it!! and by far Kryolan is better in staying power, shade match and looking natural... TV stick is great
FYI my shade is FS38 in TV stick, I'm a mac NC35/NC40
We get it in Dubai but it's soooo much cheaper in Pakistan!
