Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Pressed Powder Beige | Dermatologist Tested, Clinically Tested

My favorite face powder that offers excellent coverage.

My go to foundation brand... I LOVE the Mineral Wear line!! I've used it for 10+ years. Bare Minerals that's much easier on the pocket book! Unfortunately, they seem to be discontinuing it?! I have been using the loose powder, but when it started becoming harder to find, I tried this. It's a little more expensive and not as much in the compact. But, I am pleased with it. One step and done. It lasts all day. And you really do look perfect. It feels soft on. I forget I have anything on. Perhaps Physician's Formula will see my review and rethink discontinuing this line? I am not looking forward to trying to find a new makeup!

I've been buying this powder (or an earlier version of it) for years and years. I have probably been buying it my whole adult life because I have never found a reason to try something else. I have VERY sensitive skin and almost exclusively use only Physician's Formula products on my face. I love this pressed powder and have found no skin irritation, however, as with anything, I don't recommend sleeping with this on overnight. Your face needs to "breath".I find the coverage to be light and sheer. I don't like a lot of makeup on my face and don't wear foundation. I use a light concealer on a few areas that I'd rather cover and use this powder overtop for a clean look. During certain times of the year I add a Physician's Formula bronzing pressed powder on top to areas of my forehead, nose, and cheeks for a sunkissed look. The products work well together.The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is not an issue with the powder itself, but the compact. I've had countless Physician's Formula compacts (different shades of blush, pressed powders, etc.) over the years and every single hinge on them has broken and typically early on. I do not consider myself rough of them, just poorly designed I think. On this particular powder I find that breaks into dust every time I have ever bumped or dropped it from a minimal height, but that's on me - it's just that that doesn't happen with the blush, bronzer, etc. I never use the included brushes. There isn't anything wrong with them, I just prefer a bigger, softer, differently shaped brush and since I do not carry the compact with me when out of the house I don't need to limit myself to what fits in a compact.

Love this powder! Especially in summer! It blends in so smoothly!!!

This has been my favorite for years. Easy to apply, and matches my skin color. Even's out skin tone. Works for me.

I very much enjoy the formula and wear of this powder. The formulation alone is 5 stars. I layer this over a tinted spf (I work outside full time in the sun and heat, so i can’t take any chances with my skin). However, the packaging is awful and always breaks before I can finish the powder. The first time, I dropped my zipped-shut makeup bag on the ground, and it absolutely shattered both the plastic and powder. The next one I purchased, I dropped a kabuki brush from only a few inches above onto the closed lid, and it completely busted the plastic (but the powder stayed intact that time). So I had to take a star off for the packaging, and another star off for it not being *truly* translucent. The translucent shade (with all the mineral sunscreen in it) leaves somewhat of a white cast and makes my medium-tone skin look about a shade lighter. It’s worth it to lock in my spf, and makeup wears great on top of it… but I am always on the lookout for a more nicely-packaged option at this price point from another brand! I am going to try the Creamy Natural shade next and hope that it looks more subtle on my skin. The price is hard to beat.

I really like this foundation. The color is great & it stays on pretty much all day. The price is right & Amazon delivers it to me with my subscribe & save right when I need it!

This was my first time ordering this product and I am happy with it for the most part. I ordered the translucent and it is light but not too light. The coverage is good and it is not blotchy or cakey. Very natural looking. The only thing I don't like it is the flimsy applicator brush that comes with it. Not a very effective way of applying the makeup; I would have preferred a pad or sponge instead. I use it though and it works well enough. For the price it can't be beat.
