I bought this hoping it would be useful for touch-ups and to significantly reduce the amount of luggage I have to carry when traveling. I also purchased an additional brush to use for shadow and complexion. Because the palette and brush are so compact, it took a little time to apply, but I was able to apply nose shadow, eye shadow, and under-eye bags. The complexion color is cute. It was a bit thin, making it difficult to create defined eyebrows. It gives a soft, fluffy finish overall. It's easy to apply nose shadow. If you keep this and a mini lipstick in your pocket, you can do anything anytime, lol. It's amazing that something so compact comes with a mirror, brush, and so many colors for this price.
