    Got this in Beige Linen. Color wasn't bad on me but the coverage just isn't there, it's more like a TM than a foundation on me. Back to Chanel.

    This does not break me out, but is a little drying for my acne prone skin in the winter months. It does give decent coverage, but wears off as the day progresses, which is why it doesn't merit a...

    Well...to be honest, I'm a little mixed about this product. I've been searching for a good foundation for a long time, in my case it's especially hard because I have rosacea (so the wrong product...

    The only thing I like about this foundation is the packaging. I don't actually consider this a foundation, as it covers more like an ultra sheer tinted moisturizer (meaning very little coverage). ...

    I LOVE this foundation. I don't need much coverage. I do have some very light hyperpigmentation around my jaw area and this almost covers it but it doesn't bother me that you can kind of see it. I...

    I have heard of Paula's product and read her book about 20 years ago. It sounded great however I never tried before. I ordered some of her face makeups about month ago. And I fell love with this...

    I normally like Paula's products but, not this one. In her own book she said this makeup gives "sheer to medium buildable coverage." I did not find it buildable or medium coverage. I found it to be...

    First, Paula needs to expand the colors of this product. In this day and age, such a sharply limited range sends the wrong message. This line should embrace more diversity. I think one of the...

    Terribly limited colour selection! I ordered samples (thank god!) of both Best Bisque and Best Linen. Best Bisque was far too pasty for my NC20 skin and Best Linen far too orangey. And the...

    This is a sheer foundation which can be layered to medium. It wears extremely well throughout the day, doesn't oxidize and doesn't break me out. I found "Best Bisque" to match my MAC NC20 skin. I...
