I'm normally fair-toned when it comes to pressed powders, so I ordered Porcelain, which unfortunately is far too pale for me. Coverage is very good though - I feel I would have really liked this...

I ordered the Besame "Signature Compact" in the shade Porcelain. The shade is a good match for my very fair skin. The compact is beautiful! You really feel like you've gone back in time. I can...

This is a fantastic touch up powder, with very elegant packaging and a size that's perfect for my small bag. Though the amount you receive is very modest, a little big goes a long way and a few...

I love this powder. It's finely milled, doesn't settle in pores, and gives skin a finished look without appearing made up. I own Light but what I really need is Porcelain. Light is a hint too...

I ordered this and some other Besame products because of the vintage look. I was going to display them on an antique art deco vanity I have with some other vintage things. That said, I was very...

Small size and very easy to crumble. I'm forever taking some heavy object and pressing it again when I take it out on the town and bang it about.. However, it is a lovely powder--very sheer yet...

Wow, this is one fantastic powder! It is so finely milled that it does not look the slightest bit powdery or heavy or cakey. In fact, you can't detect it at all on your skin, except that the...

I absolutely love this compact, I miss the glamour and class from the 1920-1940's. I must have been born into the wrong era. I carry this with me daily for touch ups and it gives me the perfect...

The compact is beautiful and humorous at the same time. Humorous because it is so small that I am afraid to even try it! So what I do with it is just look at it because it's too pretty to use. I...

As others have said, the tiny-ness of the case is a bit shocking when it arrives! I got mine for AUD$25, which I thought was fantastic. I used it after putting some creamy concealer on blemishes...

I like this powder and the compact is adorable, but because of the size and the cheap ridiculous quality of the powder "puff", I can't really use this compact on a daily basis. I use it mainly for...

I'm on the fence with this one. Yes, I am in love with the compact and the way it looks. It's absolutely divine. It's metal, delicate and very vintage looking. The powder's formula is exquisite....

First, I'd like to start out by saying that I have NEVER repurchased a product in my life until Besame's cashmere silk powder. This is definately more of a foundation powder than a pressed powder...

This is really a great product. It does not magnify my pores, or get streaky looking if I sweat a bit like some other pressed powders do. The size of the powder refill is quite small and I was a...
