Does anybody know where I can purchase the Paul & Joe Protective Powder Compact Foundation Recharge’s from? HQ Hair used to see them and they were half the price of the full compact but now I can’t find them anywhere!

Hi May

P&J offers better coverage but Dior Nude is more natural to me. It might be to do with the method of application as well as powder composition. Both are different so I can’t say which I prefer. I like Dior Nude when I have time in the mornings but for to-go days its powder foundation.

Which powder do you prefer?
DiorNude ‘mineral’ makeup or P&J Dual Foundation?
Which powder give you a more natural finish and better coverage?

hi, i have this range of foundation too and its my absolute favorite! but they discontinued it and replaced it with a horrible new one about 1 year ago.. the texture is all different and colours too..

the newer powder cake is like kind of brittle and a lot comes out in one swipe and it cakes up in a few hours with like zero oil control. i was like so upset.. or maybe its just me?

hope you’ll try out the new one and do a comparison

Hi Saintangelius

I only have this and the mascara LOL… I’m not into their colour cosmetics as I find them a bit blah. I wanted the disney blush balls things but they never got extras in sigh…

Hi Celine

Yes you can but I’d advise it only for night looks as it can look too thick in the day if you layer that way. The Paul & Joe is a powder foundation not pressed powder so its more pigmented.
