I don't really feel like this does much for my skin. Doesn't take away much of the shine (which is why I need powder in the first place). Maybe I'll try her loose powder next for my super oily skin.

I use this because Paula's soft pressed powder was discontinued. The soft pressed powder looked more natural on. This powder has a more noticeable sheen to it, which sometimes accentuates fine...

For an SPF powder, this is indeed natural-looking and translucent, like Paula says on her website. Doesn't look and feel thick, powdery, cakey, etc. My shade is Neutral--I use this with her old...

I've orded this in the lightest available shade buff beige which is way too dark for my pale complexion. I was looking for a nice, convenient way to reduce shine and refresh my suncreen on the...

Well, I primarily bought this because it contains reliable SPF. I use this with the Smashbox #1 every day to set my makeup (EL DW) and I love how it looks undetectable on my skin. Not powdery,...

I'm a huge fan of Paula's Choice skin care products, but found most of her makeup to be so-so. This was a nice surprise though! I like that it's SPF 15, the coverage is good (and I have a lot to...

I use this in Neutral which is an excellent match. It supplies adequate coverage used alone when I'm too rushed to apply liquid foundation. Touch-ups are necessary because this does not control...

I so wanted to like this and I think I even convinced myself that I liked it until one morning I looked at myself in the rearview mirror and was stunned at how orange and cakey my make-up was. I...

This powder is nothing to write home about. I've used it over various bases and it's chalky and cakey over everything. I like the SPF, but it doesn't make up for the texture. As I mentioned in...

Meh, this is just an okay powder. I got this because I was told it could double as a powder foundation but it hardly has any coverage so I don't see how that's possible. Even just brushed on w/ a...

I got a sample of this in the Buff Beige. The shade was a bit too pink/red for my PPP-LLL skintone. In addition, I found that it exacerbated the dry areas on my face. I'm glad I got a sample of...

I really like PC's powders, but I prefer the soft pressed powder to the Health Finish. Both are great, but Neutral in Healthy Finish was more pink than I like. Buff in Soft Pressed is the perfect...

I am very pleased with this powder. It gives great coverage and the color I purchased "Buff Beige" is a perfect match for my skin. This one is a keeper!
