I had fun trying the medium and dark sample packs. They are really a smooth texture and very easy to apply. You don’t need as much as you think you will, even if like me you’re covering both legs ... anyway, guess what?! I have found MY colour!!!🤗 I’m so thrilled I am no3 . This is a better match than other brands and a better price. Oh Both powders work well with it - the colour change is hardly noticeable... I would use translucent in cooler months and dusk when it’s summer I think. I tested them outside in daylight and artificial indoor lights.Very pleased & quick service. I am going to get a large tub of no3. X wonderful.
