As much as I love Paula’s stuff, I have never really done well with the sunscreens, right from the beginning. I seem to have some issue with each of them. The Clinique just suits me so perfectly that I continue to buy it. They make a 25 and a 40, and Paula’s Choice usually have a lower SPF.

Jaycee,

There are far too many variations in skin tones to be able to answer. As long as you respect cool/warm distinctions, many Seasons could wear several colours. You’d need to try a few, in daylight as always when buying foundation.

Kathy,

No foundation line will be able to match every single skin tone. This line seems to have a good selection, but if you have to work really hard to find a match, then it might be best to look elsewhere. Store lighting is hopeless but they’ll give you a nice sample. They have several other lines of foundation too. If you have to convince yourself that a colour works, then it might not. Lots of companies are making lovely foundation in terrific colours. It sure can be a frustrating process to find the right one.

Julie,

I appreciate your cautious optimism! I felt the same way but I continue to be very very pleased with it. As I mentioned, I’m way more about colour than finish and this one delivers. The application is also outstandingly natural.
