Corrects redness pretty well, kind of drying though!
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my skin from recurring acne. This foundation is easy to quickly brush a little on my face to cover up most of the redness, but definitely doesn't cover it perfectly (haven't found a foundation that does that though!). I don't think it causes me to break out, but my skin has been really dry since I've been using it and I think that it is because it absorbs a lot of the oil on the surface of my skin. It definitely makes your face less shiny when you use it but that only lasts like half a day for me, so I reapply part of the way through the day when I'm out in town or busy all day. It's easy and simple, but definitely not perfect, in my opinion. Also, I have been able to find only a limited amount of color options for it, so sometimes it isn't the right shade for my skin (wintertime when I'm indoors a lot).

Not good.
Looks pretty but if you drop it its trash. Not good coverage either.

Doesn't do much at all!
It wears off pretty quickly for combination skin. My face looks shiny less than 2 hours afterwards.

Covers pretty well, but does not last long
I liked this makeup because it covered my spots pretty well. But by the end of the day, it would be mostly worn off. It also caused some small bumps all over my skin. I have switched from this to IT cosmetics Celebration Foundation, which I do like more. However, PF is a good brand, and I recommend it because it may work for some.

One of my favorite brands of makeup
PF is one of my favorite brands especially their talc free line. This powder is amazing, although not full coverage, it gives me an even skin tone. I have been using this for years on and off and I will always come back and repurchase it.

Good, but not Physician's Formula's best
Try their BB Powder instead. That one is even better. Neither the BB Powder of Mineral Wear breaks me out though, so that's a good thing. The BB one has much better coverage and is less drying though. Physician's Formula has the best powders in the drugstore price range. Forget expensive department store products. PF has you covered :)

I totally agree with you the bb powder my absolute go to,I can even sleep in it and NO BREAK OUTS!!!!I really noticed a huge difference when I switched to the physicians formula bb powder from regular liquid foundation,way less breakouts.Highly recommend this and the coverage is awesome close to a foundation. P.s.I use a sponge that brush is garbage.

Great powder when your using the Sephora mineral brush!

Pros:

Absorbs oil
A lot of coverage when using the right brush!
Covers scar when using conceal brush

This powder is great, it pulls the junk out of my skin and when you use the sephora mineral brush with it the coverage is flawless!

Doesn't seem to cause acne and is a decent powder, though probably not the best out there.

Pros:

Great Coverage
Doesn't seem to cause more acne

Cons:

Brush applicator

I use PF's talc-free mineral wear pressed powder and I'm a fan for the most part. I have to wear makeup everyday so I usually pair PF's powder with Almay's Clear Complexion liquid foundation to get full coverage. This powder alone provides decent coverage compared to other pressed powders. I wish this powder did a bit more to control the oil, but my face is extremely oily. It would probably be great for someone less oily skin. I've been using this powder for years because it doesn't seem to be making my acne any worse. I suggest using a powder pad when applying. The little brush thing they provide you is a joke.

Pros:

light weight, doesn't clog pores, nice when used with a kabuki for coverage

Cons:

moves on the skin, gets super greasy feeling, shows dry skin and flaking

not for oily skin as it sits on top and moves around, I found it only lasted about four hours.

Pros:

doesn't cause acne
doesn't irritate acne

Cons:

gets a little greasy after time
you can sometimes see it if you have applied too much

this is basically the only product i trust with me skin. my skin has been a whirlwind lately and trying to cover it up (which i am now not) has been hard. this has been a lifesaver at times though.
