I bought no. 2. It is ideal for shading and contouring, especially cheekbones, eyes, and around hairline.I also use the darker colour to fill in my eyebrows before using eyebrow mascara, so it is multi use. Very flat and fits in the palm of my hand, so easy to hold and use and to travel with. The powder is fine and it does not fly/fall on the face. Next time I will get no. 1 as the highlighting section is too dark to highlight my face (but that is okay, I also use that for shading and contouring!)
