    This is my first tinted moisturizer and I love it! In general, I like most of Paula's products because their is little to no "BS" associated with them (i.e., false marketing claims). The products...

    I have light to medium cool-toned slightly dry mature skin and this tinted moisturizer is hands down the best I've found. I've tried most every high end brand such as Chanel, Dior, Bobbi Brown,...

    This is my favorite everyday foundation. I have clear combination skin but visible pores all over my T-zone and this tinted moisturizer is perfect for evening it all out. My skin looks flawlessly...

    Love that this has sunscreen in it and that it's a physical one instead of a chemical one, which I prefer. It lasts a long time for a tinted moisturizer and still looks quite smooth and non-cakey...

    I'm actually pretty on the fence about this still, but given the heat and humidity we're dealing with here in the northeastern US, I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt a little longer. ...

    I'm a PPP, but never the lightest foundation color. I bought this at a local salon (they carry PC products) in sheer ivory. It was okay to put on, I used my foundation brush. The finish was...

    I got sheer ivory for my fair skin and way too yellow. Also, hard to apply -- sticks on my face a bit and doesn't spread easily.

    I love the even coverage and how deceptively silky my skin looks. My color is sheer honey. However, it's not matte, it's on the dewy side and i like that effect. The downside is that it's a...
