I swatched both the white and the nude shade in stores and found they both blended in perfectly with my pale neutral toned skin. I ended up getting the white simply because it was on sale for slightly less but when I'm ready to refill I would buy either one depending on the current price. I know some people have commented that it's a very small compact and they seem disappointed, but I enjoy that aspect. I use this a few times a week and only apply it to cover slight shine and slightly enhance my skin. I don't think that applying this powder over and over would somehow make the coverage thicker so you really don't need much to get the desired effect. It makes you look natural but slightly better and has ingredients that are good for your skin like a bb type product.I also have the full sized Marshmallow powder and love both products. They serve different purposes. If you want something for a heavier coverage, then Marshmallow powder can be built up to probably medium and has more shade options, though unfortunately none go into a range of darker shades. If you want something very light that can be used discreetly at a date, party, at work, etc., then this secret beauty powder is great for that. I also have tried using it to mattify a face cream when I had done my night routine but decided to go out and it worked okay but the compact did have an area where the powder looked ridged because the product settled weirdly where it was damp from my face cream. So keep that in mind your compact will not remain pristine if you do partially wet coverage like that. However, I was able to easily clean that off and now mine looks better but a small bit of product was lost. If you're not ocd like I am about these things then you probably won't care anyway. haha :)
