I am a make-up artist and I can't say how disappointed I was with this compact. I expected great things as it was gettting good reviews from a number of places. I first tried this on dry and it had less coverage than the many regular pressed powders I have. It was like putting on a colourless talc on my skin and the texture was very dry, which is nice since I have oilier skin, but aside from the little coverage, this product also does not blend well compared to others in this price range. I decided to try it wet, hoping for better coverage --to my dismay-- the product applied very poorly, caked and left behind a unnatural, pasty look behind. Worst yet, the powder in the compact turned hard and plaster-like from only a slightly dampened sponge, I was never able to use it dry again.
