I am a warm, tanned East Indian woman and this powder matches my skin perfectly. During the winter, I use it more as a bronzer because it's slightly darker than my hue, but during the summer it is spot on. The coverage is also very good; it goes on silky smooth and does a good job of evening skin tone -- perfect for those days I don't want to mess with foundation, or as a good finishing powder after slathering on the foundation.
My only complaint, and the thing that knocked this powder down a star, was that it gets everywhere. The powder is very soft pressed and so it flakes out of the container and will fall everywhere as I try to apply it. This means it gets used up very quickly, with more than I like ending up falling into the sink or countertop. I also have to be careful not to get it on my clothes when applying it. Good thing it's an expensive powder, otherwise I'd be more annoyed at how much gets wasted.
