Physicians Formula Multi-Colored Pressed Powder Palette Review
Ok, are you listening?
Make sure your listening.
This is important.
For $10 USD or less you can have awesome flawless skin.
Are you in?
If you like the way my skin looks in my photos you can thank my secret weapon which I’ve been using for at least 10 years now.
It creates flawless perfection.
Seriously the best stuff I ever used in my life.
Now you know I HATE drugstore cosmetics within the US however this stuff deserves some serious props.
I discovered this when I was a wee lass and on a student budget and since I started using it I never looked back.
It can be used as my sole foundation, as a quick touch up, as a finishing powder, to hide dullness, to refresh my skin, to create the illusion of pure perfection.
Sounds too good to be true right?
But it’s true.
WHAT IS IT MUSE!?
Physicians Formula Multi-Colored Pressed Powder Palette.
Go figure right?
I’ve seriously used this stuff since I was a teen and I just love it. I recently had to purchase a new one and I thought gee I need to share this with the world.
See? Told you I needed a new one!
So here I am telling you all about my secret weapon that creates the flawlessness you see in all my photos.
The powder comes in a few different color selections but I use Creamy Natural. I think it’s safe to say that Creamy Natural should work on fair, medium, and yellow tone skin. I think this should be flattering on Asian skin but I can’t completely guarantee it as I haven’t yet convinced any of my Asian girl friends to take the dive (they are just as snobby as me when it comes to drugstore beauty brands!). However, it has so many variations of beige in it that I think it should even out yellows very nicely!
The palette is made up of several colors including white, darker, lighter, and medium shades of beige. Each color combines to create this rather amazing shade that’s completely flattering to my skin tone.
I’ve used the product as a finishing powder mostly but I can easily get away with using it as foundation. It’s truly pure perfection. It works amazing well at creating this soft focused look that I’ve never been able to duplicate with expensive powders I’ve tried. It evens out my skin tone, removes dullness, and just makes my skin look beautifully flawless.
I love the packaging too by the way! It’s a two way compact with the powder on top and a small compartment underneath for tucking in the super soft puff application it comes with.
Sadly, it does contain talc and parabens. Parabens are definately a no for many people but I don’t mind them as much and talc has been known to cause break outs however I’ve never experienced that problem with this.
Is it love?
Yes.
If I had to pick three products to take with me on a deserted island would this be one?
HELLS yes!
This one is holy grail material.
I love it and I’m kindly sharing it with you!
Go out, grab some, and try it out! I bet you’ll be hooked!
This is by far the best Beauty Budget purchase I ever made in my life and if they ever axe this from the line I might as well jump out a window! Can’t live without it!
The Muse Approves it big time!
Tried this?
Love it?
Want to try it?
What’s your holy grail powder?
Tell the Muse!

When Beauty on a Budget, Goes Wrong: Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Review
Physician’s Formula truly is the best drugstore brand out there. Too bad it has talc and my skin does not like talc, unless it’s a finely milled expensive Italian one. You almost made me want to spend my dough on this one
This powder i finely milled AND it’s made in Italy. You should give it a try.
thanks for the review on this product! i may have to try this the next time i run out of my usual powder
i’ve seen another one that’s a mix of green, white and pink. have you tried this before Muse? if you have, how do you like it?
Not fair to tempt us with things that can’t be found outside of the States! I’m intrigued!
dao,
I agree 100%! PF is definately one of the best ds brands I’ve ever run across.
this talc, thankfully, doesn’t break me out so maybe it’ll work on you too!?
there is one PF product the does not have talc, and i absolutely love it! you should try it if you havent already,i will check. its the mineral wear illuminating veil.
hey dino yea I did try that but not a big a love as the pressed powder
hello there charlieee!
You’re most welcome love, my pleasure.
It’s truly great! The green and white I never tried as it’s meant to subdue redness. I’d say it prob works to do that if you have any redness on your face
I trust PF 
I’ve tried the pink ones as well which are blush ones and they are fabs!
I’ll review those if you like!
Thanks for the comment!
Hope to speak to you again soon!
uh-oh! utter drugstore snob here! i think i’ve read that its also bree (from makeupbag.net) HG!
since you’re raving about it.. it must really be good!
*grins* how’s the foundation coming along? let me know sweetie.
This is my HG powder. For a long-time I wore the green mosaic for redness but now I wear foundation and a dab of the creamy natural mosaic. It never looks obvious and the color selection is great.
hi Chaosophia!
Aww I’m sorry! I know the feeling well!
Try MUA? I’m sure someone will CP
hi ann!
LOL
ditto!!!!! No kidding!? I read Bree’s Teen Corner 
I never heard her mention it must go look!
I freaking love this stuff Ann!
It’s here
I’ve just been swamped and haven’t had a sec to mail you about it. Please forgive me!?
Hi Southern Angel!
Fantastic! Another lover
I never tried the green one but I should b/c I kinda always have a flush across my cheeks that needs to be toned down for blush wearing 
I love the creamy version. Doesn’t it make your skin picture perfect?
My mac girls always ask what I am doing that makes my skin look so amazing
I just tell ‘em it’s my secret hehe!
Now they know sadly as they read my blog LOL!
Thanks for the comment! hope to speak to you again soon!
I didn’t know I was in such good company! This is my HG powder too! It’s the one product that’s always in my purse. I’ve been using it for years and I’ll never change!
YES YES YES it does work for yellow-toned asian skin! I used to use this powder all the time and LOVED it. I only stopped using it b/c I’m obsessed with trying new stuff hehehe ; ) Maybe I’ll go get another one just because you reawakened my love for it!
Kayvid(MUA): You got me good. I went and got this yesterday after reading your review. I like it.
BTW, I would love to get some true red velvetty lippie recs from you since you have played with so much makeup. Thanks in advance!
hi asta!
LOL me either! It’s ALWAYS with me too! I hope they never axe it..I’d die!
Big Hugs!!
hi yellow fever!
How are you!?
Fantastic! That’s for telling us
It has enough beige that I thought it would work great on yellow tones!
Me too me too! But I always come back to what works for me
And this SO works well 
Big Hugs!
Nice seeing you
hi Kayvid!
YAY! LOL
I’m so pleased. I’m Glad it worked for you!
Some of my fav reds:
MAC Port Red
MAC Queen’s Sin
Armani Lip Wax (Any shade but 6 is the best red)
Urban Decay lippies (Many great variations of red available)
MAC’s Queen’s Sin is worth tracking down..it’s a killer red
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the comment!
Hugs!
hello!
what colour to take if I’m an NC20-25? Will creamy natural work on me as well?
hi deppstar!
Creamy Natural is perfect for NC20-25
I’m an NC 25 and it it’s my ideal color!
Hope this helps!
I just ran low on my Pur Minerals 4in1 so I ran out to CVS to buy this on your advice. I will let you know what I think! Thanks for all your awesome reviews and honesty. It is so nice to read a review that really comes from the heart. You are the BEST!
I think you’ll love it Jean! Do stop back and tell me what you think! It’s comparable to the Pur
Aww thank YOU for the incredible comment 
Big, big hugs!
I do love it! I bought the Buff color and it was too light and Creamy Natural was just perfect. I bought one for my friend too. BTW – they are ALL on clearance right now at Walgreens because the salesgirl said they are going to stop carrying the line. So – $7.19 for this product and all the other products are on clearance too in all the stores in Tucson! I am going to go stock up today
Thanks again!
jean creamy natural seems to be a great universal shade for most skin types that are fair or medium
I use it too! Awesome must hit up walgreens 
So sad they won’t be carrying it anymore 
My pleasure glad you love it!
I was searching through your past posts for something like this! I’ve actually been wanting to get the green one to even out some of my redness, but I’m worried it’ll make me look too white. Maybe with a bit of this dusted on top I can get lovely, even skin. Do you have any recommendations for neutralizing redness?
monroe sorry hun I’m not an expert when it comes to redness as I don’t suffer the prob but green def neutralizes! Mmm I don’t think it’ll make you look ghastly but a little of your own powder on top will help even it out I’m sure!
My HG powder. What I like best is that it works beautifully around the eye area. The “white” blocks of the mosaic are particularly good for perking up tired eyes as well as setting under-eye concealer. Keeps concealer in place too, no creeping into fine lines.
jerserygrrl me too! It’s really nice isn’t it?
I totally agree with all comments in favour of this product! I have got very VERY fair and sensitive skin, and this make up evens our my skin tone perfectly, without causing an eczema breakout! As well as this, most make up’s I have tried from MANY different brands just look orange on my skin, even the lightest ones in the brand. This is PERFECT! So glad I tried this formula!, It is light but effective, and doesn’t define lines! Keep up the good work!
What do parabens do?
the biggest worry about Parabens is they are linked to cancer Ozma.
Boy do I hope you see this. There’s very little on the web about this that speaks to color selection. I’m NW20 (MAC) with light to medium skin and red/pink undertones. You felt Creamy Natural was good for yellow undertones. Do you think either Beige or Buff would suit my skin? Neither? Thanks Cora!!
