    Love the concept, the sun protection and the ease of application. It also has impressive lasting power, as I ran in the rain and it didn't come off. For the winter, it is a bit too heavy-feeling...

    I really like this product, but not as a foundation. I have it in Transluscent Light. For me the coverage is very light, and while it can be built up a little bit I don't find that it covers acne...

    The coverage is light, up to medium if you layer it on, and to get the labeled spf, you would want to apply generously. The finish is matte, yet somehow glowingly alive without sparkle. Really, I...

    I got this for 75% off at CVS and it sucked! It is so sheer and so light. Kind of chalky too. Not impressed with it at all. I was expecting better from this.

    I love the idea of spf 50 in my powder... I purchased this in the summer but unfortunately this left me greasy..I think it has to do with the spf ingredients... I now use in the winter instead....

    I got creamy beige, natural beige, and translucent medium (on sale at CVS) because I read the MUA reviews that said this runs light. I'm a ColorStay 180 Sand Beige (NC25), and I agree with the...

    I bought the darkest shade, and it was way to light for me (NC42). Why can't Physician's Formula make darker shades? I had to return it. FAIL

    I bought this powder because it had an SPF 50. I think that it works OK. It provides very light coverage so I mainly use it as a setting powder. I have found that it can be a little powdery...

    A little pricy for drugstore m/u, but worth it. This powder is the bomb diggety. I use it to set my TM or foundation, or even on it's own over primer. Lasts relatively well on my oily skin, but I...

    The thing that makes this stufff essential, for me at least, is that you're supposed to reapply sunscreen lotion often--which I never do, for fear of ruining my makeup. With this stuff, I lightly...

    I do like this, as it has rather full coverage. It CAN look powdery or change color. Needs to be touched up. But I haven't tried it with MOM, so we'll see. Coverage is medium to full, buildable,...
