    Man! This is really getting some mixed reviews! Personally, I think this is a wonderful foundation. Beats anything I've found in a drug store by a million miles! I've tried Linen and Champagne...

    I have mixed feelings about the thin consistency of this product but the long wear and natural finish make up for it. Linen is the best color I have ever used, Linen along with Buff Beige SPF 15...

    I waited a very long time for this foundation to make it's appearance and was very disappointed! I ordered it in linen. It is the worst foundation I have ever used and I have tried many. It is so...

    I tried this in the lightest shade, bisque, as I'm very fair skinned. Bisque does seem to have a peachy tone about it as another reviewer noted. I shook the bottle FOREVER, but it still dispersed...

    This is my new Holy Grail foundation! It's watery, and difficult to mix (I just poured a bit into my hand and mixed it up with my finger). But it blends flawlessly, feels like you're wearing...

    I got two samples of this in Champagne Beige and Natural Buff. Champagne Beige was definitely too light for my NC25/30 skin. The Natural Buff was a much better match, though it could have been a...

    I love this foundation! It's really a surprise because as you spread it around, it doesn't seem like it's covering much at all and seems very very thin. But a few seconds later, your skin appears...

    I am not impressed with this foundation at all. Like all other reviewers have said it is really runny and it dries to a powder finish rather than silky one that I was expecting. It is also very...

    This is VERY liquidy and runny. I got a sample packet and shook it up alot before I opened it and it still wasn't mixed together. It enhanced any flakes on skin. The color linen works fine for...

    After having two days of use out of it, I am changing my opinion. Originally, I thought this is really good, but not so fast... This stuff is sooooo liquidy, if you have pores or blackheads, such...

    I have two samples of this, as it was just introduced into the Paula catalog a week ago. I requested the two darkest shades (there are five in all). Caution: if you are truly dark-skinned, you may...

    I received a sample of this and was very leary of how watery it is. So I did a good shake I applied a small amount in my hand. I then used used my foundation brush to apply. Once you apply this to...
