If Paula reviewed this product, I don't think it'd do well... No shade choices - especially reddish/

DIRECTIONS: Apply to clean skin with a makeup sponge or your fingertips.
Dab foundation over the central of the face, and blend downward using short, smooth strokes. Layer as needed to build desired coverage and then smooth out any excess product with a makeup sponge.
Two or more shades may be blended to create a custom color if needed. However, the existing single shades are designed to work for a broad range of skin types (except very dark skin tones).
If needed, apply a light layer of moisturizer under foundation. Moisturizer will help make foundation application better and easier over dry skin. If you have oily skin or oily areas with some dry patches, use a very light moisturizer such as Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Moisture Gel or Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum, only over those areas.
If you apply a sheer layer of foundation, a regular sunscreen should be applied first to ensure you are getting enough sun protection.
How is Best Face Forward Foundation SPF 25 different from other Paula's Choice foundations?
The major differences are texture and finish. Best Face Forward Foundation SPF 25 has a fluid consistency that feels lightweight and sets to a long-wearing matte finish that works to reduce shine. It is ideal for normal to very oily skin types. All Bases Covered Foundation SPF 15 has a thicker consistency, a creamier feel, and sets to a satin matte finish best suited for those with normal to dry skin. Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 20 is also extremely sheer, with a hint of color and is best for normal to dry skin.
How come this foundation's SPF rating increased from SPF 15 to SPF 25? Did the formula change?
Rest assured the formula has not changed. What happened is that we retested this foundation to comply with the latest FDA regulations. We were thrilled to find out that not only does this sunscreen meet the FDA's new broad-spectrum protection standards, but also that its SPF rating is higher than previous testing revealed. It's the same foundation you've been enjoying—only now you're getting a greater amount of critical sun protection!
