I absolutely love this stuff. I have heard from many friends that mineral wear makeup was the in thing and those that have tried it loved it...so I wanted to try it too! I looked around and found this. It seemed like I would be getting a good deal and seeing now how much I love it...it was a great deal!...

I was getting low on my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation and decided to try the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear.  The price was right and I was game. 

From the moment I first applied it I knew that it wasn't quite as light as the Bare Escentuals.  The Mineral Wear seemed to just lay on top of my...

Like many people, I have extremely sensitive skin, and when I look into make-up, that is definitely something that I look for first.  When I found Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder, I was a little skeptical.  A lot of the time, I was wearing liquid foundation for overall coverage of my red skin, but I realized that what that did mostly for me was make it worse.  I figured that since it was liquid that it would get rid of my dry skin on top of covering up.  Well, I realized that a really good, thick lotion underneath a thin layer of Physician's Formula Mineral Wear works just perfect! ...

The Physicians Formala Mineral Wear Mineral Loose Powder is a great cosmetic!  I bought this when it first came out as I was looking for something new and minerals were all the rage. Since then, I haven't used anything else again!  This product is great for sensitive skin.  It gives a great coverage, but it is also so comfortable to wear.  Since it is a light powder, it is easy to apply and isn't messy like some liquid foundations can be.  The ease of this product really makes make-up applying time shorter in the mornings - which is great for everyone!  The coverage doesn't look fake either,... read full review »

I have always used liquid foundation until about 2 years ago, and I will NEVER go back!!  After seeing an info-mercial about mineral makeup, I was intrigued.  I wanted to try, but not waste a bunch of money.  I knew physicans formula was a good brand, so I reluctantly tried it, I am hooked!!  It covers beautifully, all while still letting your natural skin show through.  I also don't experience breakouts anymore!!  Plus, it lasts forever, one container lasts me about a year.   Great value, flawless coverage, no breakouts, who could ask for more?

Several times I broke down and purchased the much more expensive and more advertised brand of mineral powder foundation only to be dissappointed each time.  Last year I tried the Physician's Formula version and will never go back to the other brand.  The Physican's Formula mineral powder foundation gives me the same coverage at a fraction of the price.  Plus it is often on sale at certain drug stores.  This foundation does not settle into my fine lines and makes my pores appear smaller.  The other brand has the opposite effect.  This foundation looks better on me as the day goes on because...

I was really disappointed with this make up. It seemed to accentuate me fine lines, and made my skin look dry and flaky. Mineral makeup is supposed to be creamy and blend in. This just looked like powder sitting on my face. For drug store make up, I thought it was kind of pricey. I tried bare minerals next, and what a difference!!!

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt; text-align: left;">Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Mineral Loose Powder was a find that my 16-year-old daughter shared with me. After trying this Mineral Powder I was hooked. This is my every day powder that has given me lots of compliments on my fair skin. It adds a nice light but lasting flawless finish to my skin. Like I said, my skin is quite fair and I refuse to tan so I need something that gives me a glow but without really adding color, which this powder does. It adds a nice base glow that if one desires...

I love to have great skin, who doesn't, right?  I just feel better about myself when my skin looks great, so naturally when I was having skin problems (breaking out, acne, dry in some places and oily in others) I tried any product I could get my hands on to help clear my skin.  When I found this powder I stopped looking...I just love it!!!

I don't wear alot of heavy make up, I like a more natural look so this product is perfect.  The powder goes on so smooth and the coverage is great.  My skin cleared up within days and the blemishes that were still there were covered up beautifully. 

The price...

As a TV reporter, it's important that we look our best in front of the camera. My stylist recommended a high-end mineral makeup similar to bareMinerals, but I have decided to explore with other mineral powders. This is my favorite, thus far...

The Physician's Formula brand is praised by dermatologists and has suited my dry skin well. I do wear foundation under the powder, which has a natural, more matte tone compared to other highlighters in the market.

The thing I don't like in the kit is the makeup brush. I use a high-end brush to apply the makeup for medium-to-full coverage. Then I keep these...

Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder is definitely comparable to Bare Escentuals mineral powder, except much more affordable.
I use this powder daily and it covers redness decently and makes my face glow. Darker scars are still visible under the powder, but that is expected since it is only a light coverage powder. The color does not match my skin tone perfectly, so there is sometimes an orange tint when I apply too much in one area of my face.
This foundation is very easy to apply with a kabuki brush, so doing my make-up is a quick routine for me. Another great thing is that the powder...

I have dry skin and rosacea and have had a very difficult time finding a product I can use to even my skin tone. All the cream and liqud foundations I have used only highlight the dryness of my face and make it look even worse. I have been wanting to try the new mineral products out there but could not afford their high cost. I was thrilled to see the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc Free MIneral Face Powder at a low cost. I was worried that a powder would make my skin look worse but it has the opposite results. This product makes my skin tone look more even and does not highlight the dryness.... read full review »

I have rosacea and am always looking for a product to effectively cover the redness of my skin, but also one that has no oil because I don't need any help in that department either. I have very large pores on my face that I can do nothing about- so those need to be filled in too.

I stumbled across Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder and thought that I would give it a try. The word Physician's in it, helped me to trust the product and it's results. Sure enough, it works wonders. It fills in my pores and doesn't make my face feel greasy or that my make-up is running off my face on the hot...

I don't wear alot of heavy make up, I like a more natural look so this product is perfect. The powder goes on so smooth and the coverage is great. My skin has cleared up and the blemishes that are still there were covered up beautifully. Light coverage, or heavy coverage depending on how you want to apply it.

The price is great, compared to department store cosmetics and even some drugstore brands, and it really is good for your skin. Great pckage deal at Costco.

I would recommend this powder to anyone who is looking for something lightweight, but with a little coverage. And someone who wants...

Rarely do I have time to put on a face of make up but this product is easy and looks like I've spent the time putting my face on.

I love that it's talc free and it's cheaper than BareMinerals. It does smell but so does regualr old pressed powder and foundtation. Also the brush was dumb so I bought and use a nice fan style brush.

All in all this is super easy and gives a light coverage
