Physicians FormulaMineral Wear Talc-Free Loose Powder Translucent Light, Dermatologist Tested, Clinically Tested

After a major makeup company (who shall remain nameless...) discontinued my favorite loose powder, I tried several different brands before landing on this one. Let's just say I am not a makeup expert, so I had no idea what the difference is between baking, setting, mineral, and finishing powder.Experiment #1: tried setting powder. As a 40 something year old, this gave new meaning to the word "cakey," especially in the ever creeping lines under my eyes. Hello! Why yes, yes I wear loose powder. Why do you ask?Experiment #2: high def talc-free powder. Better, but felt like it was sitting on top of my skin and could be brushed off easily. Also had the added benefit of drying out my already dry skin. NEXT!Experiment #3: enter Physicians Formula loose powder. At first, I wasn't used to using a sponge to apply powder. But holy smokes, this stuff has been amazing! It has a thicker coverage, but I like that, because I don't have to spend as much time concealing dark spots and blemishes. Also, it leaves a smooth and glowy appearance, even after several hours. Needless to say, this is my new go-to loose powder. It is worth every bit of the cost compared to cheaper powders under $10. If you are in your 40s or 50s, give this a shot - it'll be worth it!

Lightweight, layerable, provides nice coverage and is gentle on my hyper-sensitive skin. It doesn't irritate my skin even after wearing it all day or falling asleep and forgetting to wash my face. I use it with a full powder brush because the sponge it comes with is weird, but I LOVE this alternative to the costly options. I've been a Bare Minerals girl for YEARS and I actually think I prefer this!

I love this product. I have been using this since middle school and I’m now in my 30’s. It literally works like an eraser, getting rid of any flaws. I liked the old kabuki style brush it used to come with but I just use one of my other makeup brushes. The sponge it comes with does not work well. Use a fluffy brush and it blends out flawlessly. This product fits in with my low-tox lifestyle and I feel like it helps my skin not break out so much.

This is great for sensitive skin. It has good coverage and I have had no issues with creasing. I have combo skin and it holds up well. I prefer this over bare minerals.

The product works well. I was sent the medium, which I ordered. However, the powder inside was very light. I have no idea how it could be considered medium.

I love it! My face is so soft even after I take it off! I don't break out! It provides great coverage! I'm very pleased! I don't like the sponge though. I just used a makeup brush.

I absolutely enjoy pulling my little ones in the wagon and pushing them in the little tykes cars. Playing shoot the hoops with them and chasing them. I definitely sweat quite a bit. I am a 62 yr old grandmother with redness on my nose and uneven skin tone. I do not use the foundation because I DO NOT NEED IT. This powder provides FULL COVERAGE!!!

Habia probado muchos polvos sueltos y siempre me dejaban la marca como de talco, pero este es extra fino y se siente muy bien en la piel sella muy bien el maquillaje!
