I have this in Illusion 2B. It´s perfect for a pale, scandinavian girl. But it´s not too fair. I can wear it for every season. Last summer when I actually had a bit of a tan, it worked even then. I...

As a foundation this stuff is so so, but if you layer it on top of a tinted moisturizer like hard candy hint tint, it makes your skin look great. By itself it is little more than a really good...

I definently would not buy this product again. It made my face look very dull and powdery with no glow or brightness. You can buy the same quality from cheap brands at drug stores.

As far as foundations go, this doesn't provide enough coverage for me. If you're looking for med. to full coverage you won't find it in Surreal Skin. However, this works great as a pressed powder...

<div align=justify>My HG. The color, Dream, is a perfect match for my MAC C3. I never have a problem with it looking cakey. All I get is sheer, natural coverage. <br>The packaging is super cute....

Although this product is marketed as a foundation, I've found that it works best as a pressed powder. Great coverage and lasting power, this is my HG powder. The packaging is great, too.

After putting this one aside, I've come back to it, and I'm glad I did! I am blessed with great skin, a few acne scars, but otherwise, good. Don't need heavy foundation and find MAC studiofix...

I had high hopes for this powder, but I was disappointed. This was not a foundation at all, but a pressed powder. I found that I had to reapply because it made my face oily throughout the day. I...

This foundation offers sheer coverage in a nice powder form. Moderate oil control, but can become cakey if over applied. Urban Decay offers enough shade choices to find a good match.

Well, I like this as a pressed powder, but as a foundation I found it useless. When I tried to apply it with a damp sponge it just crusted over, yuck.

I had this in one of the medium shades, and I was pretty pleased with it. I'd put moisturizer on my face, let it settle in, and then place powder on top. I tried wetting it, but it didn't really do...

Although I wouldn't really recommend Surreal Skin as a foundation, I think it makes an excellent powder. With #1 Apparition in the winter, I can achieve a pretty flawless look over concealer...
