Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15

Which Paula's Choice powder color should I choose?

For help determining which Paula's Choice powder colors will look best on you, please see the powder section of our Choosing the Right Paula's Choice Face Makeup for Your Skin Tone chart.

Do I need to wear powder over my foundation?

Yes, especially if you have oily or combination skin. Powder helps set foundation and prolongs its wear time while offering a polished finish. It also facilitates smooth application of other powder-based products, such as blush and eyeshadow. The exceptions to this are if you have dry skin and prefer the satin or dewy finish your foundation provides, and/or if you are using cream or cream-to-powder blush.

Does Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 work as my sole source of sun protection?

Not unless you're willing to apply it in a thick layer. Since most people don't use powder in that manner (and for good reason!) Paula recommends that any pressed powder with sunscreen be used to enhance the sun protection you get from your daytime moisturizer or foundation with sunscreen. Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 is great to brush on during the day to reduce shine and touch-up your sun protection!

Does Healthy Finish Pressed Powder come with an applicator?

No. For best results, we recommend applying this powder with Paula’s Choice Powder or Retractable Powder Brush.
