Best Face Forward
Review by Shelley
-
I have literally tried them all and I have paid as much as £45 (Pounds) for a foundation, to be disappointed by its performance. Best Face Forward foundation is a wonderful product it lasts all day though, I do need powder for my t-zone and is also good value for money. Thats why I was able to buy two. I bought Best Face Forward in two shades (Best Linen & Best Champagne Beige). I use the two colours to contour my face and find it's better than just adding one colour and then adding bronzing powder after. I can now say I have found a foundation that does everything I need and the added bonus is the spf 15! (Posted on 19/07/2009)Product Rating
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 Mattifying Concentrate, 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 different from other Paula's Choice foundations?
The major differences are texture and finish. Best Face Forward Foundation 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 has a thicker consistency, a creamier feel, and sets to a satin matte finish best suited for those with normal to dry skin. Our Natural Finish Oil-Absorbing Makeup SPF 15 has an extremely sheer appearance and is best for those with minimal coverage needs and normal to oily 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.
