    I love this new paula choice foundation. I was not a fan of her earlier foundations. My combination skin leaning towards oily responds well to the foundation, it keeps oil in check and evens my...

    Unfortunately, this foundation was horrible on me. I ordered it with the entire Resist line. None of it worked for me. The foundation would not blend, and settled into lines. Terrible.

    I'm a Paula's Choice loyalist but this stuff is absolute CRAP.... possibly the worst product I've ever used. Cakey and unnatural looking. Just horrible in every way honestly.

    The worst foundation I've ever tried. I like many of Paula's products but this stuff is absolutely hideous. The texture is extremely thick. It's difficult and time-consuming to blend onto the skin....
