Physicians Formula Loose Mineral Makeup

[Shawna]

I found this at Walmart yesterday and couldn't resist giving it a try. I normally pass on stuff like this because I can never get a skintone match, but it was only $13 and I figured what the heck. It's not too bad. The colour matched my skin and although I doubt it works as well as BE, my skin definitely looks and feels flawless. I don't think it has the best coverage, but my skin isn't too bad to begin with. Since I seem to have an allergy to liquid foundations with spf in them, mineral makeup is the way to go for me. I will definitely use this until my Bare Escentuals arrives (thanks to a lovely Specktra member) Has anyone else tried this? Opinions?

I love this stuff! I've had problems with BE in the past because it has a large amount of bismuth oxychloride, which I'm allergic to. However, I don't like the mini brush that's included with the PF loose minerals, so I use BE's kabuki brush. And the finish--flawless! A great drugstore find.

I've been using it for three days now and I really like this stuff. I still can't wait to get my BE foundation because I think it will have better coverage, but for the price I paid for this, it's totally worth it. As long as I'm having a good skin day, this is the way to go. You are right about the brush though. My friend was with me when I bought it, and she loved the brush so I gave it to her. I have been using my cover FX kabuki brush and it works great.
