This is a gorgeous shade of pink. I was worried it might be too dark as I am very pale and possibly too glittery but it's actually really nice on and the shimmer is very subtle.
The container is very full and one sleepy morning I opened it upside down. The loose powder got everywhere! So I had to scrub the carpet (luckily it comes off easily enough with soap and water) but now every time I open the lid, I get more 'fallout' so I have to put an old towel down to catch the excess. If the powder was flattened or compressed there wouldn't be an issue.
Also it's very rich so less is definitely more! I had to experiment with the brush I use to apply it with as I found my kabuki style brush just plants the powder on my cheeks to densely and it's hard to spread evenly so you end up with 'Aunt Sally' cheeks.
I literally dust some powder on a very soft brush and sweep it gently where I want it, the softer brush and using less certainly helps the application but it can still be too much. I need to keep experimenting with how much I load onto my brush.
As it's so rich in colour, it has great staying power. I am a bit of a fidget so I am always pushing my hair off my face or touching my face and it is still present after a whole days wear and as I mentioned before, you need very little.
I am two minds about purchasing this again. There are so many bonuses; great colour, good staying power and you don't need alot making it good value for money but the escaping powder and needing a towel every time is a let down. I also think it wouldn't travel well because of this fact too.
I think if the powder was compressed then it would be a staple, good value for money favourite for me......
