Is it true that this provides sun protection?

It's a mineral powder, to be sure. However, the sun protection factor (SPF) is extremely low.

In liquid foundation, I'm currently using color LC1. What mineral foundation color is the most similar to yours?

Write to the company and inquire, or call Nordstroms or Macy's to inquire.

How do I get the applicator out of the plastic well that it's in?

Remove the plastic by cutting it with a sharp knife.

Selected User Reviews For Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder SPF 16 Creamy Natural

Okay, so I was a firm believer in all physicians formula products until recently, when the company stopped making the old loose powder for whatever reason
4/5

I looked everywhere for it, only to find that it's still available at a few stores, but only in limited quantities. I knew I had no choice but to switch, so I did. It appears to be the same powder as far as I can tell. It has the same coverage/wear as the original and blends in just as well. It's buildable and lightweight at the same time, but the new brush sponge irritates me greatly. That should be a one-star deduction in and of itself. The whole thing is a farce. I suppose it's time to invest in a good brush; I just liked how easy it was to use and discard the old one. br>The reason I'm giving it a 4-star rating is because this jar contains less product than the previous one. We're being ripped off in the most basic sense. Even if it's only by a small margin, no one enjoys being shorted. I'm not sure why the company decided to replace it, but it's still my go-to.

It appears to have been worn! I'm not sure what's going on here, but it appears that I received a used product! It appears that the inside sticker that seals the product was removed and reapplied in the incorrect location
3/5

The sponge, too, appears to have seen a lot of action!.

It is currently in use
3/5

Wtf! It has been put to use! It arrived today, and when I opened it, I discovered that the sponge/make-up applier was filthy and smelled foul. DO NOT squander your money on someone else's used cosmetics. Everything except the proof is on the sponge, which has a "New" sticker on it. So nasty. A letter or two on the label is also peeling away, implying that this is a knock-off. That part is something I'm not familiar with.

It's fantastic! I looked for a loose powder to cover up my unsightly under-eye bags
5/5

They irritate me. I bought another setting powder that received rave reviews, but I couldn't get past the smell of an elderly person. This is something I tried because I like this makeup brand. It was used all over my face and under my eyes. The color is ideal and appears to be quite natural. This powder is one of my favorites. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> br>After only a few days of using it, my face began to break out. I liked how it looked, but I didn't like how it made me feel.

For acne-prone skin, this is the best product! This product is comparable to Bare Minerals, but at a third of the price, and it does not require the use of a liquid underlayer
5/5

Over a liquid sunscreen like Neutrogena sheer face, layer this powder on top. Apply this powder afterward, and your Acne will be completely covered. Giving up harsh makeup brands and liquid will allow your face to heal over time. Under this makeup, you can't tell I have a lot of scars!.

Physician's Formula has been my go-to supplement for a long time
5/5

I really enjoy it. It's something I've been using for a long time. I don't use any other type of base than this. I don't notice it on my skin, so it's light. However, it provides excellent coverage and has an SPF. I'll keep using it as long as they keep making it.

I love the spf as well
5/5

People complained that their packaging had been used and that the powder was too light, according to the reviews. Mine was unquestionably brand new and sealed, but it was darker than I had anticipated. It looks fine once it's applied, and I suppose that's the risk you take when ordering skin makeup, but don't let the reviews influence your shade selection.

I like the way this powder looks and feels on my skin, despite the ineffective applicator and the small amount of product
4/5

It doesn't last as long as some of the other powders I've tried, but it also doesn't feel as dry on my skin. I can lightly dust this under my eyes and it doesn't accentuate my fine lines. Despite the fact that I purchased it in translucent light, I believe it provides some coverage for my fair skin. The amount of product you get as well as the applicator are the only things I don't like about it. For me, the applicator's sole purpose is to prevent excess product from dispensing when the container isn't upright. I'm not a fan of how the applicator sponge applies the product; it's far too heavy. Using my own brush is much more appealing to me. The amount of product you get in a container is another issue I have with it. When I compare the weight of this to other, similar products, I get much less, and it feels like I've used up a lot of it in just a few weeks. When compared to other powders, it doesn't appear to go as far as other products, both in terms of how much I get and how much I use. I still like the product, and it's a nice powder for us older ladies.
