My usual shade is around no.22 and i heard that the shade linen ran light so i got ginger. The shade is a tad darker than my skin but still works, if you are usually in the shade 23 then ginger will be a good match. The finish is sooo natural, doesn't look like you have foundation on but still covers slight imperfections. The coverage is light to medium, I thought the cushion would be more glowy though and it does cling to my dry flaky patches so if you have dry skin like me then i would suggest you to moisturize well before. Overall its a nice cushion for natural makeup days and its a reasonable price (plus a refill), I would recommend it!
