My go to setting powder!

I love everything about this product. The packaging is easy to open and close and very durable. It comes with a super cute rainbow brush for touch ups. The powder is a mix of green, pink and yellow to cover up all kinds of discolorations. You get a very good amount of powder in this compact and all for a super low price! My make up stays on so much better and looks a lot more natural when I use th...read moreis as my setting powder. I recommend this specifically for lighter skinned girls, however. It might make someone with a deeper skin tone look a little ashy if not applied with an extremely light hand!

Works Just Like it Says and Doesn't Irritate Skin!

This is one of those few products that actually does exactly what it says it does- corrects/evens out skin tone without irritation. It also kept my combination skin matte all day. I use a bit of the yellow powder under my eyes and the green powder for some red areas and then swirl it all togerther with a big brush and set the rest of my face. This works better than the "boutique" mineral powders I have used and at half the price. Its now a must have for me. I highly recommend!

Just Okay.

This powder is nice for people who have oily skin, it also can be used with any skin color. the marbled colors turn to a white finish, so it's just like any other white setting power that you would put on after foundation. This gives good coverage as a powder, but it's only ideal if you have time to blend. It's not good for on the go purposes, and the brush it comes with is useless. This isn't my ...read morefavorite powder because I don't really see it do anything for me, but I don't tend to have oily skin.

The One

I have this in the Translucent shade. Every day I just wash, moisturize, then buff this all over my face. It evens out your tone and coloring (redness is what I'm mainly combatting) but isn't obvious on your face at all. It also helps control oil. When I actually bother with foundation, which is very rarely, this is great for setting. I have sensitive skin and have broken out from using mineral makeup in the past, but this has given me no problems. I have already repurchased!

Decent.

I love this pressed powder, it's the first multi colored powder I've owned but I just really really hate that stupid little brush that comes with it. I like that it helps with tone correction and helps to keep my shine until control but you have to go easy on it or it can be super visible on your face. The formula can get a little chalky but for the most part it's nice. I recommend using a big fluffy brush to apply it.

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Powder: Not What I Expected

I pined over this powder when it first came out, but when I finally got it, I was so unimpressed that it sat in my drawer until I recently started Project 10 Pan. I love PF products and when I saw this "translucent" correcting powder, I was obsessed. Unfortunately, this powder is NOT translucent, nor do I feel it color corrects. For me, this powder is practically pure WHITE and remains so even aft...read moreer settling on my face. As usual with PF, this powder lasts all day long without shifting or creasing and doesn't look dry or cakey, but I've definitely been having to use it over a darker foundation. I also find that this particular product is not very finely milled. It's very chalky and the powder gets everywhere when I dip my brush in it. It's overall just difficult to use. Since I've been trying to use up the products in my P10P box, I've been trying to use this as my setting powder, but it's been too difficult to work with. Again, I love PF, but I just can't enjoy this powder the way I wanted to. It's white, chalky, and messy, not a translucent, color correcting finishing powder. I give it a 5/10. While it isn't what it should be, at least it still performs like a PF product while you're wearing it. xx

Ok, But Not Great

Pretty standard setting powder, but nothing to write home about. Works better on oily skin than dry skin. The brush is a joke. I would recommend elf's Studio High Definition Powder; better finish, longer lasting, and half the price.

Didn't live up to it's expectations..

Before I begin, it's important to remember that these reviews ARE helpful, however not every beauty has the same skin.. I just tried 2 products by physicians formula, including this and a bronzer. I was looking for a cheaper alternative for everyday wear so that I can spare my MAC foundation and only use it on special occasion. The finish of both the foundation and bronzer were incredible when I f...read moreirst put it on. No argument there. But the next day I had red splotches on my face and neck.. Needless to say I may have had an allergic reaction, that I have never experienced with any other product before, which I honestly didn't expect because it is all organic. But anyway, hope this helped. Don't be afraid to read up on ingredients! <3

Best to reduce shine and redness, that is all.

Pros: The powder does what its description promises: It reduces any imperfections on my skin, it takes away any redness (especially conceals any red pimple marks I may have). Most importantly, it took away the shine and oiliness of my face and it not harsh on my sensitive skin at all. It’s best after applying liquid make-up (I personally just use a BB cream). Con: The powder left my face with ...read morea baby-powder like finish, which is chalky (if you know how that feels). It did not blend in my skin and it left a shade of white (this is where it breaks the promise of the “yellow” leaving a warm color to the skin); in other words. This was also not a good product during the winter when my skin was dry because it left flakes and patches on my skin. I highly recommend this for anyone with oily skin or for use during the summertime. But if you really want best results, it’s best to touch up with either a foundation or a BB cream of your own skin tone. Only use this for touch up on your make-up, reduce shine and redness but don’t rely on this product alone for any other problems.
