I'm a beginner with cushion compacts but at the $11.99 price and being a huge fan of Romand products I couldn't resist. The color is not too dark even though it's 25 so if you are darker skinned, beware. When blended out, it actually works for me in the summer, I also have shade 23 though and it's a closer match.
