Review of Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Mineral Face Powder by karenbobaren
Best powder I've ever used..
I've used this for about 3 years now as my foundation and my teenage daughters use it as well. Its the ONLY product we can use that doesn't cause irritation or breakouts. It gives full coverage but looks extremely natural. It isn't drying. Lasts most of the day and even when touched up it doesn't look cakey. I wash my face (with Dove) , apply moisturizer (Fruit Of The Earth Vitamin E Cream), then apply this. It's important to wash your face first to remove and dry skin/flakes or any powder will exagerate them and if your skin is at all dry apply moisturizer (my daughters skip this step).
But most importantly, how you apply this powder will make a HUGE difference in it's performance. Don't use the included bursh, it's worthless. I've used ELF's Powder brush and Physicians Formula Airbrushing Kabuki-both work well. However, I recently purchased Purecell Prof Velour & Sponge Puffs and they made an INCREDIBLE difference. I think the key here is the super fine velour. Anyway, using the velour side and a wiping motion (not patting) makes this go on sooo smooth but with even better coverage while making your skin look poreless. Love love love. I bought them at Amazon but I think they may also be available at local Walmart (just make sure they're the same double sided puffs).
