I keep trying other foundations and keep coming back to this. While it's not perfect for my skin--which is not the product's fault, my skin can be a pain in the a**--it's as close as I've come....

My skin is dry and sensitive. This foundation, for normal to dry skin, didn't irritate my skin, but it didn't make it look any better, either. It has light coverage and left my skin with a greasy,...

This is the first product I've ordered from Paula B, and I love it. I have never been able to find a foundation (not Lancome, not Bobbi Brown, not drugstore brands) that doesn't make my fair aging...

Got two samples of this, one in nude and the other in sand. None was a perfect match. Both looked far too orange . The nude is the best for me but still too orange. I found this very greasy, ok...

Got in "Nude". Same issue I had with Best Face Forward foundation, just not enough coverage for me, and seemed a bit too pinky/red on my skin.

This is way too greasy for my complexion in the summer and spring. However, I have found a good use for it--blending with other foundations. I LOVE Paula's products for the most part. I hated the...

I am in love with this foundation and I HATE foundation! However, as I get older, I find my skin is not as prone to the "powder and go" option. So I've been looking for a foundation that doesn't...
