Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I love the way this goes on but I could use more of a dewy look than all the pigment. I have been looking to replace a favorite product I used to buy from Neutrogena and I haven't found it yet. If I dilute this with some Hyaluronic Acid (serum) it's helps and I add a little shimmer powder.

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Foundation:
I work at minimizing my pores and this product does help. It goes on nicely with the brush that was enclosed with the tube. Feels light and yet good coverage. My only con is that by the end of my work day, I look very pale as I think it just wears off.

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.
