If powder foundation is your passion, this is the best one I've found in a long time - even better than MAC Studio Fix! Why? Surreal Skin ($25) feels really light and natural, and it truly works for all skin types. I also absolutely LOVE the compact; slim silver plastic with a mirror in the lid and a clear plastic hinged cover over the powder, so you can store your sponge in the compact without it stewing in the makeup. Clever! The sponge is also a perky purple rather than boring old beige :)

As for the makeup itself, I wore it every day for several weeks and never tired of it. No matter what my skin looked like in the morning, it always looked a little brighter and fresher after using Surreal Skin. The powder doesn't clump if you layer it on, it doesn't dry out the skin or call attention to any already dry areas, and the finish is never pastey or powdery. Surreal Skin comes in 6 neutral colors: Apparition, Vision, Hallucination, Mirage, Dream and Fantasy (I personally wear Apparition).
