I purchased this powder to replace an old compact I had been carrying around in my purse for touch-ups on the go. I love this product for so many reasons! First, the mirror inside is huge. The sponge applicator is extremely soft and allows for a light application, never chalky. The powder itself is very finely milled and goes on silky and light. Considering that this is an "age-defying" product, it still does a good job of taking the "end of the day" shine off of my nose. This powder really doesn't settle into fine lines and leaves my undereye area looking smooth and fresh when I use it for touchups. I don't think someone with oily skin would necessarily like this product but for my dry/sometimes-combo skin this is the perfect pressed powder for controlling shine without drying out my skin or looking unnatural.
