    My Right Hand Powder!

    by Beckers (1 review)
    Like most girls, I absolutly hate pimples...Even the smallest breakouts seem to radiate off my face!

And the fact that my skin is entirely too sensitive to any new product doesn't really help either but all that changed when I started using the Mineral Wear from Physicians Formula. Not only does this powder blend well on your skin to give you natural coverage but it is gentle enough so that I never have to worry about breaking out either!!! Oh and it is cheap too...You can get this at Target for just about $12.00 so why not spend a little to get a whole lot more back!? April 20, 2008, 11:44 pm

    good foundation that doesn't irritate skin

I hit the jackpot when I tried this PF mineral makeup: it never irritated my skin, provided good coverage, looked natural and was much more reasonably priced than the other brands I tried. It is a generous quantity that lasts for months even with daily use. One note: I found the brush that's included too small, so I use my own large kabuki brush to apply it. I also use the lid to swirl the foundation onto my brush. October 30, 2007, 12:32 pm

    Great staying power, light on the skin

    I bought this after a few misses from Physician's Formula.

October 16, 2007, 9:33 am I bought this after a few misses from Physician's Formula. The color is where I usually lose out (pale with yellow undertones) and I didn't want a colorless application, so I chose creamy natural (i think). The coverage is light to medium, great for me, and I wasn't shiny after a few hours. My only complaints are the bristles, which fall out easily, and the fact that it's rather tricky getting powder out without spilling it everywhere. You also need a few applications for good, even coverage, but it doesn't look ashy or cakey, and best of all - it didn't turn orange! October 16, 2007, 9:33 am

    love that they are TRYING

    So few company's really do anything for truly sensitive skin that doesn't then cause breakouts.

    not that great

    by mitanari (19 reviews)
    It never made me break out, but you should moisturize before using it because it seems to really highlight any dry skin you have. Not really the best thing you could get for that price though. I also don't like the packaging. The mirror is on the underside of the powder which means lots of flipping and dipping. Oh and after... April 20, 2008, 12:43 am It never made me break out, but you should moisturize before using it because it seems to really highlight any dry skin you have. Not really the best thing you could get for that price though. I also don't like the packaging. The mirror is on the underside of the powder which means lots of flipping and dipping. Oh and after just a little while the powder cracked and went all to pieces, making a big mess. April 20, 2008, 12:43 am

    can't live w/o it!

    by agerfen85 (3 reviews)
    i can't live w/o this, i don't have a lot of money to spend on expensive make up, but i'm willing to pay for this! i've never been able to wear make up before w/o breaking out, washes off easily, and doesn't make my skin feel oily. i also did NOT notice an increase in breakouts like i have with other products.

    Best mineral foundation!

I use the translucent and it's a perfect match for my light/medium color. Also, I have noticed that if my skin is having a reaction to something (micro-peel, rosacea or a break-out this product actually calms my skin and clears up the problem. November 29, 2007, 9:39 am

October 31, 2007, 6:24 am Previously I would usually not wear any make-up when I went to work since I my job is very physical and usaully perpiration would just make my foundation run and wipe off. I tried the mineral face powder and found that it not only lasts longer but also looks more natural and feels lighter on my face. I don't need to worry that it looks caked on or that it makes my skin either too dry or too oily. October 31, 2007, 6:24 am

    Good stuff!!!

    by pixiehottie (5 reviews)
    Why does it say this stuff is $22?! It's like ten bucks, oh well. It's a VERY good ds foundation/powder, works as well as high ends, you shouldn't use the brush that comes with it though, it's rough and deposits toooooo much product, get a kabuki and you're good to go!!!

    Love it!

    by wyattsmommy (11 reviews)
    This is another staple in my purse and at home. I really like the sheer coverage and it doesn't compound my dry skin problem. November 29, 2007, 1:47 pm
