My mom first turned me on to Paula's Choice after reading Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, the followup to Paula Begoun's The Original Beauty Bible. It became sort of a running joke as I, a teenager at the time, experimented with new makeup brands and my mom would say, "Wait! Let me see what Paula says about it!" (We actually have an exclusive interview with Paula here.) But I do have to credit my mom for finding me my use-it-every-day powder plus SPF 15.

I do not like things on my face. I never have. But I loved Paula's Choice Healthy Finish Powder SPF 15 from the get-go precisely because of that: a light dusting of this face powder keeps my face matte all day. Plus, the SPF adds another layer of protection from the sun's rays.

I love that Paula's Choice Healthy Finish Powder SPF 15 evens out my skin without making it look like I'm actually wearing makeup, which is exactly what I look for in a powder.
