I'm a cool winter/summer type, very cool-toned. Since many other shades were sold out, I chose Velvet Teddy, which I felt was a safe choice. It's more suited to summer. It's a great color on light skin. Maybe I should get a more vibrant shade? This paleness is just right for a blush! It doesn't streak, and because it's powdery, it seems to blur pores. It's similar to Dior's matte liquid blush.
