Rave -Physician Formula powder foundation

Imachickadee75 · 09-15-2007, 01:01 PM

I have to share. I Love, LOVE, LOVE the Physicians Formula loose powder foundation! Its like the Bare Minerals product you see on TV and I LOVE it. It has great coverage -even the dark circles under my eyes and its just one step. Its a little more expensive than I'd like but I love the fact that the more you sweat (hello humidity) the better it stays on! I'm not wild about the packaging because I typically do my makeup in the car -yeah I'm one of THOSE-but overall I think its great!

Thanks!
I was thinking of ordering Bare Minerals from tv, but now I will try Physicians Formula.
I always have a problem finding enough coverage, but not so much coverage I look like a drag queen. (No offense to drag queens).

I also have a hard time finding light enough foundation. I have a very fair complextion and most fair foundations are too pink.

The main trick is to make sure your skin is well moisturized and to tap off the excess powder before applying to your face. My skin is pretty dry in places and it doesn't seem to stick as well there.

What is the difference between it and bare minerals? I use bare minearls....but my face has been broken out since the beginning of my pregnancy and bm doesn't cover it all (not bad, but it was better before). I am going to a dermatologist next week, hopefully they can give me something pregnancy safe for my acne...I love my bm so much better than my old liquid foundation though.

Back to the orignal question......just curious about the differnece between it and bare minerals...

I don't know if there is a real difference or not, but I bought the Physican's Formula at my local Wal-Mart. I've been lucky, my skin has never looked better since I've been preg. So I guess I'm the opposite of you.

It's so ironic that you posted this. One of my girlfriends at work uses the compact powder and I tried it and loved it,, so I went out and bought some today for myself. I use mostly Estee Lauder and Mac but I LOVE what I got today!!!

It is the one thing I have had to deal with while pregnant....and I'll take it over m/s and everything else. I still want to see what the dermatologist says (otc stuff is doing nothing)......but I have had a very easy pregnancy so far.....I can't complain- but I do hate having skin worse than the 8th graders I teach!

I tried Physicians Formula before ordering Bare Minerals and it made my face break out!

You're scaring me! I usually use Brenda Christian products. But I thought I'd try the Physician's Formula since it's a $35 difference.

I'll never give up her Perfect Brow product. For those that lost all or parts of their eyebrows due to chemo or other causes (most commonly seborrhoea which is what I have), it's the best because it looks so much more natural.
