I wanted to something natural on my skin, and I am so encountered the Egyptian Earth. At first I was rather less enthusiastic, because I probably had a little too much hung up and my skin thus rather something "orange" appeared! Although I now actually eh no paler type am! Best is just sooo little powder on the brush, dabbing the then still on the wrist from, and the powder then works with circular movements! If necessary, repeat several times, then it looks most natural! Am now quite happy with it, especially in the morning, it conjures up a bit "suntan" in the face! Just a pity that it does not cover! Otherwise, I'm very happy with it, especially since it seems to last a long time, using it almost daily and it looks after 2 months still almost like new! :)
