I have extremely fair skin (shade 11 for cushions), and I really enjoy mixing the lightest and second lightest shades for a natural contour look. The highlighter in the palette is nice and subtle for an everyday look. Everything about this is natural and subtle actually. Perfect for an everyday look or work. The only downside to this is that it doesn't last all day on me. By the 5-6 hour mark it has faded completely away.
