this is a beautiful, finely milled, yellow based powder foundation with a subtle hint of shimmer... which, unfortunately did not work for me. =( it broke me out pretty bad on my cheeks and nose, probably due to the corn oil in in it. ahhh! i'm so bummed b/c the color and coverage where both perfect. this could work for someone who is not prone to breakouts, tho, so i gave it a 3.
