Urban Decay Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
What it is:A feather-light, cream-to-powder foundation that smooths skin to satiny perfection.What it does:Do you want porcelain-perfect coverage and a modern, natural finish? This ultra-lightweight and paraben-free formula transforms from a decadent cream to a micro-fine powder upon contact with skin. You won't believe the instant transformation! Lighter than liquid, this buildable formula gives you all the coverage you desire without the pore-clogging effects of heavier foundations. The light-as-air texture glides on effortlessly and feels as natural as your own skin. Hyaluronic filling spheres and pearl powders hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines, while antioxidants, like Vitamins A and C, nourish and protect skin.What else you need to know:Urban Decay fans will love to pull this compact out of their bags. The transparent violet compact features a collage of skulls, flowers, and funny creatures. Inside, the double-decker compact houses a mirror, your foundation, and a ventilated compartment for a custom brush. No more digging to find your foundation brush it's included!

Review 1 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
My new Favorite foundation!
-06.07.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I am a creature of habit. I've been using Merle Norman's foundation for 5 years straight never changing, until my mom made me try this foundation. After the first application ...which made my skin flawless ( ill always set my foundation with finishing powder as well) and it lasts all day with a natural appearance. I will now be purchasing the UD foundation instead. The brush had me nervous at first but it really works! Only down side is its wide and gets the foundation on the edges of the case! Try this out...you won't regret it!

Review 2 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Love it :) Sad you dont sell it anymore!
-05.28.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, nice natural look
I absolutely love this cream to powder foundation and just finished my second compact of this. I have combination skin... I had been using tinted moisturizer by LM because I dont like to wear a lot of make up, but I felt it was too oily. One of the Sephora employees introduced me to this cream to powder and I absolutely loved it its not too thick and looks completely natural and it doesnt get oily on me. I was really sad when I went to Sephora the other day to buy a new one and found out they no longer stock it :( Any ideas on what to use instead?

Ok
-05.21.13
It did give me porcelain complexion but only for an hour or so, It made my skin so oily. Defiantly not for oily skin :/ My cousin uses it and it's great for her.

Review 4 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Perfect for the Natural Bella
-04.27.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I adore this product for individuals that I apply it to who one have pretty good skin and two don't like alot of makeup. I think you are able to build coverage but for a more natural application appearance it works better with those looking for more of a sheer to light coverage. Looks beautiful and looks good in photo.

Best coverage, best product out there
-04.09.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
If they ever stop making this, I'll cry! This make up covers everything yet feels like nothing. I love the brush. I love the texture. I love the staying power. The only thing I would like to change is to add and SPF. Other than that, this is great.

Review 7 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
really nice!
-03.22.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, smooth flawless finish, works well over ud bb, light coverage's all that's needed
i was trying ud bb cream for the umpteen time in the store until i could afford to buy it, and then came across this wonderful pup...applied illusion color, even used the brush for the 1st time, over just applied bb, really didn't' notice the true effect until i was driving home and saw the finish up close in the mirror...really, really nice...these two are what i plan to buy next...just a small amount is needed, creates a beautiful finish...my skin is fair, dry, porous and fine wrinkles, 53 yrs of age

Review 9 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Good coverage
-03.03.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I have the UD Mineral Makeup powder which is nice but I felt like I needed something with better coverage for the days that I go out to dinner or to a nightclub. I've only used it once so far and it definitely provides better coverage than the mineral powder does. The only thing is that it's a little thick and a little oily which isn't good for oily skin. For everyday use I would stick to the mineral powder foundation but if I'm going to go out and be photographed then I would use the Cream to Powder foundation. I'm hispanic and have both foundations in Supernova.

Review 10 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Nice foundation
-03.02.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I usuallly never use brushes that come with compacts but this one is great. It matches my skin very well and does not cake up at all. I don't use this every day because if I did I feel like it would be gone quickly. I keep in it my purse for days when I didn't have time to do my make up and gotta do it on the run plus I already have a favorite foundation from MUFE. The case is cute but this is quite expensive for how much product you get.

Review 11 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
-02.26.13
Currently I've been searching for a new compact, trying different products. I was slightly disappointed by UD. I tried it for a couple days, maybe a week, and I started to break out. I didn't like the brush it came with either. But I did discover to use it as an under the eye concealer. So I didn't lose out completely on my purchase.

Review 12 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
good coverage
-02.24.13
This gives pretty good coverage and the brush they provide makes foundation go on flawlessly. I do feel like the cream is very soft with an oil based, so probably not the best for oily skin. I have used better foundation then this. On the fence if I would buy it again or not.

Review 13 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Review 14 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
soft finish, basic coverage
-02.16.13
Quick Take: long wearing, satiny
i wear only this with a little mascara, so I expect a lot from my cream-to-powder. I have been using clinique's for many years, but got tired of the sponge. i really like that this compact comes with a brush, and the compact is pretty cute (although surprisingly big). The product itself is typical of cream to powder - about the same as clinique - If you have big pores, I don't think there is any cream2powder that will hide them. However, the finish feels a little softer/satiny than clinique. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the price, which is outrageous.

Review 15 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
Makeup Great, Compact Breaks!!!
-02.12.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I'm on my 4th compact now and though I love the product I truely wish they would replace the compact, the front snap closure has broken on 3 out of 4 compacts. I have rubberbands holding it shut. When Smashbox discontinued their cream to powder I switched to Urban Decay. I still use the smashbox photo finish primer under this and have the look of flawless skin. I use different shades, one around my eyes and another for the rest of my face.

-02.11.13
I first started using this a little under a year ago now and I love it! Its the best I have ever used! It goes on smoothly and its not heavy. My only problem with it is that there isn't very much in the container I go through itway to fast. Other then that it's the best!

Soyyolatina88
I swear by this product
-02.02.13
This makes a fast and easy application simple. I use foundation more than ever. It makes the face look natural without that caking look. It works great in the summer especially those that tend to sweat more. This is so light on the face you almost forget you have makeup on. I also use it after I apply my liquid foundation lightly just to seal a nice finish. Majority of the time you wont use the applicator brushes they come with but this one actually is really awesome. Best product on earth.

Review 20 for Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation
New to Foundation
-01.29.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
I really have never been comfortable with foundation, having experienced way too many drug store, thick, cakey liquids. Recently I started to get some red areas on my cheek and wanted to try something to cover them up, so I went with Urban Decay because I love most of their other products. I am happy with it--it does cover up the red, it doesn't leave anything looking uneven, and I don't feel it after it blends in within a few minutes. I hate make up you can FEEL. I'm happy with it, but again, I'm new to foundation so perhaps a little less picky than some others.
