I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy this product. It provides medium to medium-full coverage depending on how much you use. I don't find that it looks cakey on the skin until I reapply for around the 3rd to 4th time throughout the day. It does reapply nicely over previously powdered areas as well if you use thin layers. There is a strong magnet that holds the compact closed. I threw it into my bag haphazardly, and it did not once open on its own. Very sleek and sophisticated looking with a great mirror.
