Love this foundation! It's my new favorite. The color and coverage is very natural looking. I see some people had trouble with blending but after using the PC Skin Balancing Ultra Sheer Daily spf 30 and the skin balancing serum (that I use as a primer) I had no problem. It glided on like silk. For those who don't use the complete PC line, I recommend a primer under any foundation.

Pros: 1) Color, Light/Medium is a perfect match for my very hard to match skin (color is my main obstacle) 2) No sunscreen (allergic/sensitive skin) 3) Not drying. Cons: 1) Blendability. Smashbox primer helps. Without it, it's cakey, sticky, and magnifies pores/lines. 2) Light coverage 3) Dewey; gets shinier throughout the day 4) Does NOT hold up to humidity. It runs and beads; presses off when I touch my face with tissue, etc. Not suited for summer. Love the Pros; wish Cons could be fixed!

As others have said, this is a little tough to blend, but it makes up for it in that it has a wonderful texture for my oily skin. Sets to a beautiful matte, natural finish that is not too chalky. You just have to put it on fast, which is not impossible. I would not recommend it for dry skin though. This with e.l.f. mineral booster powder over the top and I have perfectly matte, shine free skin ALL DAY, something I've been searching for in vain until now, and I love all the anti-aging ingredients

Experience like Chris F's. Have extremely dry fair skin.Tried product as substitute for discontinued All Bases Covered foundation in Light Cream. Received generous free sample from Customer Service - thanks! Applied Skin Recovery moisturizer & SPF 15 sunscreen underneath. After several hours, applied sample. Color good but hard to blend. Think product not so good on dry skin, maybe better on combo, normal, or oily.

Love Level 0 Porcelain! Like others, I'm an ABC user, but Nude is really too dark (I also miss Light Cream). But I was also having trouble getting this to apply evenly. Luckily, I read some of these comments and tried a Foundation Brush (mine is from Clinique--I don't think PC has one--opportunity there?), and wow, it made all the difference! (I use it over the new Clinical Redness treatment and the new Scar treatment, which has a texture very similar to a primer.)

I gave this foundation a real trial over many weeks, but sadly this product hasn't worked well with my skin. Color was a good match & it had good coverage. Right after putting it on I have a dewy appearance, but by lunchtime am super shiny. I have combination skin in cooler weather (which PC skincare products keep looking & feeling great!), but not the super oily look a few hours after putting this on. No breakouts, but was itchy sometimes.

Like the texture and coverage but found the colors off. Tried light/medium which was too light for my skintone, then tried medium which was too dark. Would be five stars if they could do similar shades too the best face forward foundation, comparable to the champagne beige. You need a wet sponge to put this on as it goes on thick. Other than that it does not settle into my wrinkles and is smooth.

Great formula (love vitamin C) and great color (porcelain is perfect for my fair skin) however, blending is EXTREMELY difficult. I tried a damp sponge, with downstroke blending and with padding motion, this foundation just would not blend well and it takes forever. Who got time for that? Too thick and hard to budge, needs improvement.

I ordered three samples: Light; Light-Medium; and Medium. The Light-Medium was too light, and the Medium was too dark and yellow-y -- and I'm Asian -- it looked like I had applied bronzer all over my face. Plus, I found it difficult to blend on top of my Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 -- it looked really patchy, even with my Beauty Blender. I tried 3x before giving up.

Overall, this is a good foundation: SPF free (I prefer to apply sunscreen separately), good for days when I want something between full coverage and tinted moisturizer, nice finish. That being said, even level 5 is too light and cool on my medium olive skin (my best matches are MAC C4 and Urban Decay 6.0). I can correct this using finishing powder, bronzer, blush etc., but that's too fussy for everyday use. Deeper and warmer colour options are badly needed. The pump also dispenses too much.

I'm 56 years old with dry skin so I put it over the RESIST moisturizer with sunscreen. Its goes on easily with a nice finish. I have medium skin and can use the darkest color for winter. But I'm worried that come summer it will be too light. Then what? I agree - a full pump is too much. I use about a half a pump and get great light coverage. Please consider adding some darker colors. I'd love to use it year-round.

I've been using PC new Resist foundation for a week and have to say that I am really liking it. It is a nice, light to med. coverage that makes my complexion look natural and not made up. I use PC Resist moisturizer spf 25 underneath the Resist foundation for sun protection. Since the moisturizer makes my skin shiny due to the sunblock properties, it also makes the foundation look shiny so I dust with a brush her PC powder and it stays all day. I have normal, sensitive skin & no breakouts w/this

I have been using this for a couple of months now and I wanted it to work, but really, I'm just throwing the rest out. It is not waterproof or at least water resistant, I get streaks after a hot flash.

Love this foundation. I like adding my sunscreen first and then my foundation. Apply this foundation with a flat top brush and buff it in my face. Beautiful finish!

I tried six sample sizes of two colors, the light/medium and medium. My Paula's choice favorites are from resist line,suffering oily break-out prone skin /40 yrs old I found this finish to be such a pretty matte finish. One of the prettiest I have ever encountered on my skin.

Level 0 Porcelain is destined to become a cult item. It's genuinely pale without casting horrible yellow, peach or rose tones. I'm very pale and a makeup junky. NO other cosmetic compares to this naturally pale tone. It sits beautifully on the skin ALL DAY, is matte and works with powders and highlighters. I'm delighted it has no sunscreen, I HATE SPF foundations, if you care about your skin you should wear a specific SPF seperately not depend on foundation spf which is never a complete defense.

I am a bit surprised at the tremendous amount that this is dispensed per use. It is way too much for one application. It is also extremely light. I am very fair and it was shocking that this was so very light.

I love the finish of this foundation. I don't find it to be in the least mask-like. I always use a makeup primer, and feel this foundation wears quite well. The only complaint I have is that it is EXTREMELY difficult to blend. Typical methods of application result in streaky, uneven coverage. Patting with a makeup wedge works best, but takes a long time. Fuller coverage can be achieved where needed with a second application once the first has set.

I have used and continue to use on a daily basis many Paula's choice products, and feel like they go a long way to making me have nice skin. This however, was not one of them. As some other reviewers stated, this seemed more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation, and seemed to settle in my pores and fine lines, leaving my face looking harsh and older than my 32 years. I won't be repurchasing.

I was so excited that I purchased this even though I had barely cracked open my All Bases Covered foundation. It's been more than a month and I've decided that while this foundation looks good, it doesn't hold up to my active lifestyle the way ABC does. After a dance class or two of sweating, the Resist foundation seems to separate from my skin and become more obvious, whereas the ABC becomes only slightly more apparent. Warning: a full pump is enough to cover 3 faces. Be cautious pumping!

This foundation is amazing on my combo facial skin. I apply Paula’s SPF 30 Hand Cream, wait 15 mintues, then use less than half a pump of this foundation. Initially, it looks a little too matte, but within 10 minutes, the finish morphs into a soft, skinlike finish. I can’t remember the last time I used a foundation that looks so incredibly natural. I don’t look like I’m wearing makeup; I look like I drank 8 glasses of water and had 10 hours of sleep. I use such a tiny amount, it's a bargain!

Since sunscreen blocks Vit D absorption, and I'm deficient, this is great for the winter when I'm lucky if I get 15min of sun a day! At first, I hated it - chalky, pooled in my pores & didn't blend well. Turns out my combo skin had turned dry but you could only tell under a 15x magnification mirror. Go figure. BHA less often, problem solved. This foundation works best when I use less, apply RIGHT after moisturizing, and blend with my fingers. Smooths my complexion and looks tre' natural.

I am 49 with combination skin and occasional breakouts. I used to love the matte face look, but feel it now ages me. This foundation gives me a luminous, radiant finish. As someone who has had 7 (!) basal cell cancers removed from my body/face, I am glad this does not have sunscreen. I always liberally apply sunscreen for adequate protection before layering this foundation. (I love EltaMD Clear SPF 46-no pilling). I do agree there needs to be another color between levels 3 and 4. Thanks!

This foundation is wonderful for someone with dry and sensitive skin like me. I've been using it for a few weeks since I delivered my child, and the sheer coverage is just right so that I don't look like hell from taking care of my baby. It doesn't offer enough coverage for my dark circles, but it lasts all day and is very moisturizing. I don't have to layer it to get the radiant and natural look. I wish Paula can offer something like this with better coverage.

I'm impressed by the skin improving benefits of this product and use it as a primer under my Laura Geller Balance & Brighten. When I apply this product with a moist sponge and press it into my skin I get a much better result. When I apply it as directed it does emphasize imperfections. I'm grateful there's no SPF in the product because I have sensitivity to SPF; it makes my eyes swell up and burn.
