I've used this product for two years now, Light in the Winter and Medium in the summer. What's great about it is you can touch up your foundation with it, and its not a messy liquid. It also covers most blemishes extremely well, although I'd recommend setting it with a blotting powder. It also works well (in Light shade) for under-eye concealer. The new compact has a hinged lid, which lasts longer is and is easier to use. I carry this with a small powder compact for touch-ups during the day. In the morning, I use a liquid foundation. My T-zone tends to be oily and breakout prone, but this product did not cause irritation.
