Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Face Powder:
Being 43 I am starting to look at youth boosting/age defying type make-up. I thought this product would deliver but it does nothing but highlight and accentuate even the finest wrinkles! It makes your whole face shiny and shimmery looking- almost like you've had a long day and need a good make-up touch-up! I am told I have very youthful, near perfect skin, yet this product make it look BAD! In addition the applicator brush is ridiculous- takes multiple swipes to get product loaded- and then most ends up in a powdery mess in the air! I purchased a separate cotton puff applicator found in most powders. It went on better, but the results were still BAD!

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Face Powder:
I wanted a powder that brightened my face without looking cakey. This does that for me. A youtuber recommended the product as a dupe for MAC MSFN. I've never used MAC products, so I can't validate her comments, but I am pleased with the PF powder.

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Face Powder:
This is a nice translucent powder 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 Face Powder:
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!
Pros
- Blends Well

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Face Powder:
I bought all 3 products in the anti-aging line, I'm 43 and I'm starting to see crow's feet near my eyes. Honestly, there is no big difference in how I look after using this product verses my normal makeup. It is a nice finish, I like the slight sheen it gives and it stays on well. But so far, I haven't noticed that I look any younger. So, if I had it to do again I'd give it a miss.

Comments about Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Youth-Boosting Illuminating Face Powder:
I didn't know if this product would really provide the 'youthful boost' that it boasts of but I have been pleasantly surprised. I had someone I didn't know stop me yesterdsay and say "You're makeup looks great!". This powder gives my face that final touch, evens out my makeup, and gives me a youthful glow.

This is my second purchase on this product. I love to use it to set my makeup or after using blush or bronzer for a little extra illumination to my face. I'm 44 and it gives a beautiful glow.
