I'm surprised by the negative reviews.Perhaps this powder isn't for everyone but it is for sure one of my very favorites, right up there with MAC skinfinish natural & Rimmel's stay matte powder.I have fairly dry skin, sensitive, sometimes T zone oil and I have some wrinkles.Lot's of powders do not work for me, many have made my skin feel tight and dry, or look cakey and gross, accentuate wrinkles or make me break out so I am very picky about powders.
This one looks amazing and feels great, I use a lot of moisturizer first, then once that has settled in I buff it on with a kabuki brush.It covers amazingly well without being cakey or powdery.It never breaks me out.Perhaps it's not for everyone but I would certainly recommend it if you think your skin might be like mine.
My skin is very sensitive and acne prone so I rarely change face products, but I gave this powder a try since it is mineral wear and Physicians Formula is usually a good product.Unfortunately, the results weren't very positive.I tried it 3 days ago and it went on very smooth, covered nicely, and gave my skin a nice matte finish which is great since by midday my skin is usually really oily.After I put it on my skin was a bit itchy for about 15 minutes, but I wasn't concerned since I thought that it was probably just my skin adjusting to something new.I checked my face after lunch and my skin looked even oilier than normal which surprised me, so I blotted with an oil sheet and dusted a bit more on with the little kabuki brush and it looked fine again.(The kabuki brush is pretty flimsy, but it works fine and I have a really nice one that didn't apply it that much better.) The next day there was no itching at all so I thought it was fine, but when I checked my skin around lunchtime my skin was super oily, my pores appeared enormous, and my face had an orange cast to it.I used an oil sheet, put some of my old powder on and couldn't wait to get home to wash my face.Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a face full of acne.I did really like the initial results of the powder, but my face was an oily mess after a few hours and after using it for 2 days I now have a face full of acne to deal with.
I think this powder might be great for someone who doesn't have oily or sensitive skin, but if you are like me and don't have perfect skin, then you should probably to try something else.

I knew I had a winner when I first put this on and it made my big wrinkle on my forehead less noticeable (my "11s" as they call the forehead wrinkles between the eyebrows, are starting to come out at the age of 46).I am very fair and the Translucent shade suits me perfectly.This pressed powder provides a nice coverage and helps your skin to look smooth and more even-toned. I have nothing bad to say about it except for the brush that no one likes....I agree that the brush sucks but it's worth it to me just to have such a wonderful and concealing powder that does not contain talc!:-)To start off this powder is NOT translucent....it is probably more pigmented than other non translucent powders I have used.I am blond and very fair--this color seems to work well for me. Good coverage!
It gives a very nice matte finish. I am very oily and acne prone, and I havent had any increased oilyness or breakouts whatsoever. No weird smells to the makeup, and it's not itchy to me. No hives here.
Another reviewer mentioned that this makeup oxidizes and turns orange on your skin after a while. I have been looking out for that, and haven't really noticed anything to that affect. You know how power of suggestion works.
It comes with a tiny brush that kinda makes you want to laugh, but it collects the powder really well, and doesn't waste. Wheras when I use a powder or kabuki brush alot of the powder is wasted. I like it better than having a sponge that collects dirt and oil then just sits in your makeup. This brush can be washed, dried, and stored seperatly from the makeup in a compartment under the pan.
After using this powder a little longer I will update my review. :)

I had high hopes for this powder as I think Physician Formula products are pretty good.Not this powder.It gives a "flat matte finish"that is horrible.I also bought this in the lightest shade there can possibly be,..translucent, and not only was it kind of dark, it also oxidized once on, and it turned orange.Too bad, I really wanted to like this powder but ended up just throwing it away.
