After a few weeks of using this intermittently, I'm still undecided on it. <p> The colour match on me (Parchment) is pretty good. The bottle is a decent size but I hate that stick built into the...

I wear this in Champagne. Blends in perfectly and doesn't look like I'm wearing foundation. I use a sponge to apply but a foundation brush might be better. The packaging is great. Wondering if I...

I really love this foundation! After reading some reviews on here, I was kindof worried that I would be wasting my $. I already knew that Porcelain would match me perfect- the liquid goes on really...

I have this in Sand. I bought this foundation because it doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation when I'm wearing it and just evens out my skin tone (like the previous reviewer said, it's a rather...

One of my favorite foundations, and has now surpassed my previous favorite, LM oil-free. This looks natural on, but provides good coverage. It wears really well on my oily skin, which normally...

Ewwwwwww.... I got a sample of this at Sephora. Wow I'm glad I didn't spend money for it! This foundation made my combo skin feel even <i>more</i> oily, while emphasizing my dry, flaky spots. I...

Perfect color match but wasn't to good for me during humid/hot days. My face looked really oily but it might work better during colder days.

First, what was Paula thinking with this packaging?! It would make much more sense to have a pump than some stick - it has a pointy end that looks like it could gouge me! Also, I found this...

This is nice for a sheer lightwieght coverage, is not drying or chalky at all and does cover minimally, although I will not be repurchasing only because I am too oily and need something with a...

I was in the market for a new foundation and tried Paula Dorf after reading the reviews on this site. Love it! I have very fair skin and have trouble finding foundations that match my coloring. ...

I think this has great coverage and it lasts all day. I bought parchment and it is a perfect match for my skin. I don't really care for the spatula on the lid i'd rather have a pump.

I really liked the foundation. It covered really well and did not look cakey. I order it twice and was very satisfied, but like all us makeup holics I moved on to something newer.

Great foundation. Doesn't make me break out, and most everything makes me breakout. Gives a nice finish and great color match. I am light olive (very yellow) and found my perfect color in sand....

This made me shiny within an hour and felt just plain greasy. It sat in my fine lines too, and wore off by mid-day. YUK.

This one did not work for me! I returned it - pronto! It just sat in my fine lines and had no staying power!
