For the price it's amazing. The powder is so soft and finely milled. Because it's so finely milled I find that there's a lot of fall out so your compact ends up getting quite dirty but I can live with that. (nothing you cant clean up later, right?) It has a useless mirror on the bottom which is good for touch ups. BTW I'm in shade Light Ivory. It controls my oily skin and make my face flawless. It has smooth powder and my face always looks fresh and I find that the packaging isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I like it so much, it's my everyday powder. I wear it alone because it does a good job at keeping my oily skin under control & over liquid foundation makeup. Even when I wear it alone, it provides a nice finish & a little bit of coverage.
