At first when i put on this powder it immediately gave me dry skin, the lady there said that i should try exfoliating, so i bought it and tried exfoliating everyday, but it stil gave me dry skin, even though i had oily skin. I found out the trick to this is instead of gliding the puff from you skin, you should just pat it on, and use as sparingly as possible. It worked prety good afterwards but i got it in medium which is my skin tone but it wanted it to have a little more coverage..i'm not sure how the dark tone would look on me...i gues i'll have to go and try it out....
