This is a great foundation. I am very picky about having good SPF coverage (UVA and UVB). The coverage is light to medium, and it is easy to blend. I tried Cliniques SPF anti-aging formula in two...

I have dry skin and mild acne with some scars and flaky spots (several). This finish and coverage work well for me. Nothing will cover the flakes, but this doesn't seem to make them worse. Update...

It's not quite holy grail materila but it's pretty good. Not greasy at all, but not drying, provides a good amount of coverage and didn't break me out!! I would definitely repurchase.

I used a sample of this. The pluses: it isn't cakey or greasy, it doesn't emphasize dry patches, it has a sunscreen, and the lightest shade is a good match for my pale skin. The minuses: ...

I got some free samples by emailing and asking for them. I always end up with foundation that is too dark. The Nude color is perfect for my skin, but the coverage could be a bit more for my needs....

I requested a sample of this and find that it's a decent foundation. The shade "Nude" worked well for my NC25 skin tone. Application requires extra blending to smooth out the streaks. The...

I love the finish and coverage of this foundation in the winter when my skin is drier (also love the SPF 15), but I don't like the meager color selections. I like Paula Beguon and take all her...

I love the color, but unfortunately the texture is too thick, and difficult to blend. It also streaks on my face. Too bad, because I like most of her products.

OK, my biggest pet peeve about this product is that I can't tell if I'm about to run out or not. I can't see through the bottle and it is fairly light weight to begin w/ so I may or may not need...

Talk about a drying foundation! I have oily skin but I could not even apply this over my skin evenly. Color selection is very good but application is awful. If you have dry skin, forget it.
