The NYX twin Cake powder boasts the slogan "This is the best powder I've ever used!!" on the powder casing. I was excited to buy this powder, seeing as their shade range caters to pale folk like me and run very light (Think NC/NW10). The powder compact comes with a decent sized mirror and a sponge applicator which works effectively, but I prefer buffing any powder into my skin with a brush. The price is a bit much seeing as you only get 11g of product and it only wears for about 3 hrs before you need to touch up. I have sensitive skin and I don't suffer much with oily skin. Whats worse is that the mineral oil in the powder broke me out somewhat and I can always tell when I've been wearing the twin cake that day. If you're a pale person like me & you are always struggling to find any shade of coverage in South Africa that doesn't make you look orange, you can give this a go. What's nice is that it doesn't oxidize on the face, so it stays true to its pale shade. I still wear this powder now & again seeing as its so difficult finding any pale pigmented powder in S.A. I usually have to opt for translucent powder, which can sometimes leave a white cast on the face.
