Physician's Formula
100% Natural Origin Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil
Fair Skin

What is it?
The 100% Natural Origin Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil is a relatively new product by Physician's Formula which is from the Organic Wear Line.   After applying your make up, you would use this product as a finishing touch or if you would rather go make up free, the 100% Natural Origin Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil will give your face a natural, tan look.  The loose powder is in the bottom of the bottle, the brush at top. To use: shake a little powder into the brush and apply.

The Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil is made without chemicals, fragrances and is not tested on animals.

Cost is approximately $11-13.00.  I bought mine at Rite Aid.

My Viewpoint!
My skin tone is super pale (think Geisha pale) and I rely heavily on make up products that leave me looking a little tan, naturally.  I have tried a lot of products and some I have liked, some I haven't.  I really wanted to like the Organic Wear Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil from Physicians Formula because of the fact that it's made with all natural products and it is supposed to leave you with a natural looking finished tan.

After I removed the protective strip, I had the hardest time getting the powder to move up to the brush, so that I could apply it.  When I did get some up there, it wasn't enough to do my nose!  I kept shaking, rolling and trying everything possible to get the powder moving.  Little by little some would come out and I would apply it to my face.   After about 20 minutes of trying to get this powder out, I had finally applied it on my entire face.   Whew..that was almost like a workout.

When I looked in the mirror, you couldn't  barely tell there is anything there. I know it's supposed to be NATURAL looking but I don't have a finishing matte or a bronzing glow. In fact, I don't look any different than before I started the workout.  At that point, I gave up and figured I would try again another time.

I did try again.  This time without any make up on, I wanted to see how the Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Finishing Matte & Bronzing Veil would look.  After about 10 minutes of the shimmy-shimmy-shake, I had, once again, applied the powder to my face.  I didn't think I was crazy, so I asked my Mom to look at my face and could she tell that I had applied the powder.  She said "No".  I tried some more powder and she said, "I think you got ripped off".

I double checked the package, it's for fair skin.  My skin is fairer than fair so it should work, right?? It didn't.

I give the Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Finishing Matte & Bronzing Veil 2 stars ONLY for the fact that it is 100% natural - no fragrances, chemicals or cruelty to animals and his hypo-allergenic. I love those qualities in make up.

The problem here is that after all the work of having to move the make up into the brush and applying over and over again, I never had a finishing matte or bronze glow or natural looking tan, none of it.  Maybe I did burn some calories.

I wasted my $13.00 and had my hopes up for nothing!    I'm still pale. :(
