I chose #130 Buff Beige. The compact is 2.5" x .75" with a 1.5" square window that allows you to see the shade and how much product is remaining. The compact is bi-level, open it to reveal the powder on top then lift at the hinge to reveal the powder poof and full size mirror.I like the fact the puff is in a separate compartment - it keeps my oil off of the powder plus I do not have to keep track of that thin piece of plastic you get with other compacts. You know, the one that always ends up on the bathroom floor. The puff is terry-like. It is very soft and grabs a good amount of powder. It can be cleaned or replaced. (Replacements sold separately.)
The colour was spot on and stayed true all day, it did not oxidize to a darker shade. I did not experience product transfer to my cell phone and it wore longer than other drugstore pressed powders that I have tried. It is so silky and smooth. It does not look chalky over my freckles or sun damage. I can use it on my bare skin or on top of foundation because it blends in cleanly.
Bottom line: Blends cleanly not chalky
At $7 it's a great price - I would buy it again. 4.5 stars
