Always, always, always try before you buy. I think I will try the Light Medium shade when I hit pan on this one, or possibly even the Light shade.
This powder is baked that's why it takes forever to finish. This particular powder is supposed to, or promises to give a very natural look. I have actually used quite a lot of this powder already and I can tell you that it does live up to its promise. I am just not so sure about the shade though. 

I love how this powder can last you more than a year even if you use it everyday. I know, it's that economical, it's crazy!
During the super hot summer months, it even made my oily T-Zone oily matte for an extra hour or two compared to using another foundation. I use the Mineralized Skinfinish Natural powder with my Bobbi Brown Powder Brush, and it gives me the best natural-looking finish when applying powders. I find myself getting a lot of compliments when I wear this powder, with or without liquid foundation under it. I guess it's safe to assume that it’s the powder that’s giving me a very luminous, natural, and even looking skin tone.

It sets into the skin like magically. It has a barely there finish that everyone is very obsessed with nowadays. When I use this powder, you can't tell if I have makeup on or if I have anything on my skin. Well, at least for me though. Maybe it's also because the shade matches my skin tone closely. Not a perfect match yet, but it's pretty close. Now now, there are a few hitches on this hot product though. Firstly, this compact doesn't have a mirror or a sponge for touch ups. I guess if there is something I wouldn't like about it most it's the fact that it's not convenient to use for retouching. Since this powder is baked, if you break it, you will have a hard time managing the powder.
