This product was horribly disappointing. Usually Too Faced blushes are beautifully pigmented and a steal, since it takes so little to get a strong color pay out, but the quality of this palette is completely off. Firstly, the packaging is super cute, looks and feels very high end. And in theme, smells like peach ring candy. However it's much smaller than expected, but if the pigmentation was on par with Too Faces usual quality, it would still be worth it. The blush: I'm an NC44 during winter/ NC45 in summer, and in either season the blush wouldn't show up on my skin. Actually if your even a light tan-deep, it's a waste of time. The pigmentation is almost non existent and it's quite dry. I've seen people suggesting it's more of a "blush topper" (though not in Too Faced description) but even then it would take much effort to get the product to show. Highlighter/Bronzer: The highlighter is rather sparkly with visible glitter, but is very pretty. And the "bronzer" isn't a bronzer for the aforementioned skin tones but would be a gorgeous highlighter. Not glittery at all, just a beautiful satin glow. And though I can't speak for those with lighter skin tones, for me, it just wasn't worth it. I don't recommend.

If this foundation was a person, I'd marry it! Full coverage to the point you may not need concealer at all. And a little goes a long way. Very pigmented but really thick. I use a tiny bit (extremely tiny) bit of additional primer to mix with and thin it out. Sheer coverage about half a pump and full is a little less than one full pump. Cruelty free, not sure about sun protection and dries down matte. Only issue for me is it slides a bit on the nose without setting spray but i haven't had a foundation to this day that doesn't. I highly recommend. ***I use the shade "Cafe" (equal to NC44 Mac) in the winter and "Amber" (equal to NC45) in the summer when I tan.
