Quick story short: I bought this some time ago but I never used it because it didn't match my skintone (I'm medium) but a couple of weeks ago I returned from a trip where the climate was very humid -yet my hometown is dry- so I had lots of breakouts on my forehead and foundation wasn't enough to cover the redness and the shine as well, so I decided to use this compact powder to see if it made a difference and it did! it gave more coverage AND I didn't have to touch up because it also got rid of the shine. Now, I'm not using makeup until my skin clears out a little but here you can see how good the coverage is if you use it over a foundation. Wish there were more shades, but people who fit on the range are probably enjoying this madly!
