I have been using BP for over a year, in the loose powder form. Decided to try the compact for it's convenience And I still love it every time I put it on. I was quite impressed with the amount of coverage it gives, being that it's a mineral foundation, It doesn't necessarily provide "Full Coverage" but it sure does get close to it!!!!!! I have 'light tan' skin with yellow/reddish undertones and the color "NUTMEG" provides such Natural coverage, even in sunlight! People are SURPRISED to hear me say that I have make up on, and it's only when I use a tissue to wipe the makeup off my face and show them, do they believe me. Like I mentioned before, it's not nearly quite full coverage and you will see some slight blemishes peek through, so to cover up my acne/darker spots, I use the BP Base. This foundation last a good 8 hours, w/out retouching. The color Nutmeg, I use during the winter time. When I have developed more of a tan during the summer, I combine Nutmeg & Maple. The sponge in the compact will give you the MOST Coverage, and I use the BP Powder Brush for touch-ups. But the coverage is buildable, I'll say from a Sheer - Medium - Nearly Full Coverage. The Nutmeg has a slight Golden color to it, but nothing exaggerating. I also love it because it didn't leave my face looking Pink or Beige. I love it so much I've recommended it to my mom, and actually bought her a compact. The only tiny 'Con' I have is that this color will leave ur face a 'lil bit of a whitish color, just a bit, but I use BP Bronzer to correct that lil bit...but this is not such a problem that it will sway my decision to not use it. I don't like to wear liquid foundation, so I opted for a BP mineral foundation. This foundation does NOT make me break out or make my face oily. I pretty much use it everyday!!! I know some reviwers were stating that the compact is difficult to open and that is partially true. I ordered 2 compacts of different color and only one of the compacts was a little difficult to open, just slightly get stuck, that's all.
