    Ordered a sample first. Good that I did! It goes on like a dream - silky and smooth perfectly matching my very fair skin (I ordered the lightest shade - best bisque). I thought this had to be it!...

    I personally liked this product better before it was reformulated. Before, I got a smooth matte finish, this was when you had to shake it up thoroughly. Now the product doesn't separate, but it...

    It was actually pretty heavy for my tastes, but I tend toward the sheerer foundations. The colors look yellow, but were surprisingly not that bad on my skin. The two lightest colors both looked...

    Firstly, this foundation has to be congratulated for not breaking me out or causing an allergic reaction like so many other ones have! (most recently Givanche! :( ) The coverage was very sheer...

    I found this foundation too sheer. Not much difference from her Barely There foundations.

    I was really disappointed. No where does it say non-comedogenic. Paula should know better. Color was good, but the runny foundation was greasy - and it's suppose to be for normal/oily skin!! ...

    This is so sheer it's nearly ridiculous. I tried putting it on only one side of my face and I really had to get close to the mirror to see any difference. The only reason I didn't bring down all...

    I'm a huge fan of Paula's Choice skin care products, but found most of her makeup to be so-so. Her foundations are just terrible for anyone looking for something other than sheer coverage! Best...

    I spoke with PC rep today as I was ordering more products and she told me that they are NOT discontinuing this product. They are revamping the formula. I was sooooo relieved.
