This powder foundation has a wonderful soft finish, a light feel, and a cleverly designed compact with a fun purple sponge! But in my opinion it's only worth a rating of 2 based on the color selection, or lack thereof. My skin is light and cool toned (MAC NW20) but none of UD's light shades even came close to a good match. The first, "Apparition", is aptly named. It's ghostly pale and looks like it would be too light even for a MAC 15. The second shade, Dream, didn't seem like it would work since it appeared too yellow-based. But once applied it's not even yellow, it's pumpkin orange. The next shade is "Hallucination", which appeared promisingly cool-toned but was about a shade too dark and took on a weird grayish cast when applied. It's too bad because this really is a nice product otherwise. If it only had a color range similar to MAC it would be, in my opinion, the perfect powder foundation.
