Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
Normally I use Colorstay makeup by Revlon. I like Colorstay because as the day progresses it stays put and doesn't look greasy. I just looked like I was melting towards the end of the day. Felt like I needed more powder through the day. Maybe if I were in High School this would be okay but it didn't really seem to work for me.

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I have really never found a foundation that I really like. This one may be it! It is thick but if you rub it on your fingers to warm it up, it goes on very smoothly. Provides great coverage but looks natural and lasts through the day. I have a light complexion, bought the medium beige and it is perfect. The tube seems a little small so we will see how long it lasts.

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
This is a good foundation that is clearly labeled gluten free on the label! I spent money on the Bare Minerals products because a lot of them are gluten free, but they're also very expensive. This is a great alternative!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
Years ago I looked for a foundation for my acne prone/broken out skin. I found PF's Mineral Wear Foundation and thought I had found "the one." Then, I couldn't find it anywhere! So, out of sheer desperation, I tried this. To my shock, it was BETTER! I now have the least amount of breakouts I've ever had. It has a nice matte finish and good coverage. It is thicker than most foundations, but dries very light and my friends think I have no makeup on! Seriously! Please please keep making this!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I Love this foundation. It provides great coverage, and stays a velvety matte finish all day. Love the spf15, and the brush is really great. It makes the product blend in for a flawless finish. Really does make me look younger. I can wear alone or top with the bb powder, that works great too. I hope they never stop making this.

Too thick, so it's difficult to get it right. Because of that, the coverage isn't even.

This stuff works great! I don't even have to put the powder foundation over it. It covers really well and stays put!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I started using Physcians formula TALC FREE powder foundation a few years ago instead of cream foundations and I went from having mild acne to having NO acne. The talc free products work really great with my skin and never make me break out. I'm turning 40 and have some fine lines so I wanted to get away from the powder foundation and go back to liquid. I tried 3 other brands of liquid foundation and of course my face started breaking out again. I found this foundation online, read about it and decided to try it. I LOVE it.... no more break outs, coverage is great and last for most of the day. I hope this make up continues to be made, with no change in the ingredients because it's the only "liquid"... more like a cream or paste then a liquid... but goes on great and feels light... foundation I've ever been able to use and not break out!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I use a small amount to apply to various parts of my face - the coverage is great. There isn't a need to use a lot. I have very sensitive skin, it doesn't irritate my skin. That's a bit plus!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I have been using Napolean perdis china doll foundation for years but got a little tired of paying $50 for the tiny tube. So I went to Ulta trying to find a decently priced foundation. There was hardly any of my shade left over by the higher end brands. So I thought what the heck, I was in a bind because I was almost completely out at home. I have used this brand before when I was in college so I knew kind of what to expect. This youthful foundation is great especially if you use it with the youth finishing powder that has a bit of sparkle to it. It really makes you look bright and glowy without looking like you have flecks of glitter all over you. I may switch to this line for good since it was around $12! Great products!
