It is def. darker, although I found them all 4 a bit limited in colours, there's not a big range between them. At least not under the shady store lights.
I'll be honest, I pick up a Les Beiges every year so even if I'm not blown away I pick it up for tradition and because I love the compact. I think it's good they branched out a bit this year in terms of the actual product and adding glow or something, but the thing that annoys me is that the powder is very .. powdery? and the product gets messed up right away with one swatch and it just sits in the lines and the powder gets all over the compact. You can see it a bit on the pictures of the swatches. Then again I only did do finger swatches and really rubbed on it to get color payoff, I don't know how it performs with a brush.
I'll probably end up picking up another shade of it anyways so I don't know why I'm even rambling
