Like some others, I am not much of a makeup person. However, I do love this kit, especially for the price. I have very fair skin, and the blush looks great on -- not too ruddy not too bright. It may be too light for darker skinned women. The eyeshadows are nice as well. They don't always wear as well as I would like, but when I start with a primer (love the olive oil one best), I find the shadows last a little longer.
