i have fair skin so i dont need to look any whiter, but this powder this. it is very dry and when i took a picture with this powder on over my usual foundation it gave me CHALKY look. not flattering at all. i bought the darkest color too.

i enjoy this pressed powder as much as the loose powder. it's so soft and silky. on the sample, i use my fingers and spread on my face and it goes on with no problem to try it out. gives a very sheer, velet finish for me. i have drier skin now and this work great. i'm a fan of loose powder, but i'll think i'll get this one instead of the loose powder. to me, their price is not bad, i spend the same for Fancl powder foundation, and more on other hoping to find my HG, but all left me disappointed. i hardly buy the same brand of foundation/powder again. but this one i'll repurchase.
