Product: The finish of these is a base based with micro shimmer particles. I'm not terrible fuzzy about shimmer in my foundation though so I personal don't find them flattering but fortunately this one does photograph nicely. ;

Out of the four shade Light is the most opaque in terms of coverage. But there are all sheer coverage in terms of a foundation. 

As a primer I have complaints, it works just fine. ;)

Colour:
Fair is a pale neutral shade.
Light is a pink tone light medium shade.
Medium is a warm olive tone shade.
Dark is a warm orange tone shade.

Wear: It clams to be 12 long wear but I got 16 hour in this during the summer heat.

Packaging: Solid bamboo cap with a squeeze tube bottle.

Compare: Coverage wise it about the same as my Missha M Perfect Cover BB but there not noticeable shimmer int he Missha one. Both also have a physical sunblock rather then a chemical one which my skin thanks the kindly for. ;)
