I have been using this powder foundation (in Hallucination) throughout winter with great results. I enjoy the glow I don't get from other powders, and the coverage is just enough to even out my skin tone, but light enough so it doesn't look like I have a powdery mask on. I have oily skin, and I always blot first, then apply Cornsilk powder (although I have MAC's Blot Powder next on my list to try), then put Surreal Skin on top. It works well with my oily skin, and even though I get dry patches during winter, the powder didn't aggravate the dry spots either. My only complaint is the minimal color selection. Now that summer is approaching and my skin color is becoming slightly darker, Hallucination is too light. The next color up is Vision, which is too dark and brown for me. Needless to say, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do about that color problem. I am Asian and have mostly yellow-toned skin with quite a bit of a pink hue also (if that makes any sense).
