This palette is good for people who have light complexions. It's rather sheer, which is helpful if you have pale skin. I'm not sure if it would show up on people who have more pigmented skin, but it might be possible if you work with it. The texture is a bit hard, so you don't have to worry about picking up too much product on the brush. I use the middle color to contour my face and the darkest color to fill in my hairline. It blends in really well!
