SPF wonder

What originally drew me to this product was the high level of spf. This is very rare in makeup. Usually if there is any spf it is an spf 15. I loved the idea of having a compact I could carry around with me and apply on the go and not have to worry about layering a sunscreen underneath. This foundation quickly evens out my skin tone. What is great is that it is very lightweight on the skin as...read more if I am not wearing any makeup at all. I saw these on clearance recently and I hope that physicians formula will continue to make these in the future so I can continue to buy more.

New Fav!

I generally switch up my "base" routine with the season changes and since I live in a high humidity area in the summer time, the last thing I want is a foundation that makes me feel like I have a greasy mask on. I was excited to try this since I LOVE PF products, but most of their foundations are too light for me. Given that this is a powder it's easier to work with the color. It doesn't turn g...read morereasy or make my face feel oily and my skin feels fresh all day long. One of the best things is - my skin has cleared up since I've started using this. I top it off with a little bronzer, blush and a light dusting of Clinique powder and my face is set for the day. Best part is, you can't tell I have any makeup on my face. Great sunscreen too!

My perfect foundation

My favorite foundation of all time, thus far. I'm beyond devastated it's been discontinued (epic sadface). It works amazingly in all seasons but especially summer when liquid foundation is just too heavy, plus the high SPF is actually effective. It's super lightweight but easy to build coverage, and it doesn't even look like you're wearing foundation. Matte finish that never gets cakey or oily on ...read moreme, it pretty much stays perfect looking all day and night. Also, the sponge that comes with it is actually pretty decent quality.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

I have never been happier with a powder foundation. It smoothed out all my face and it great for setting concealer and foundation. It has great SPF, is sweat proof, and has a great matte finish. It doesn't make me breakout. Perfect for all seasons. Works amazing in the summer when it is hot. I normally don't like the sponges that come with makeup but this one is great quality feels just like the beauty blender sponge. I totally recommend it!

Great idea for a product, but it needs work.

I love the idea of reapplying sunscreen all day in powder form. After a while the powder seemed to harden and it was not able to apply to my face. The oils from my skin also caked up on the powder which usually doesn't happen with other powders. I ended up throwing this powder away because the sponge wasn't able to apply powder to my face, even after scraping off the caked parts. I will stick to Maybelline Age-Defying SPF 25 powder.

Good powder, lousy packaging

The powder provides good coverage with added SPF protection (SPF 50 as a matter of fact). I would like to put it in my purse while I'm on the go, but that was a mistake. If you look at the compact, you'll notice there are holes on the sides. The powder will leak and will make some mess in your handbag and make-up bag. Very incovenient. Otherwise, this would have gotten a much higher rating.
