I'm reviewing the Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free correcting primer in Pink. I've used Nude before and found it worked well to even out my skin tone. My skin, which is fair with pink undertones, is showing it's age with some unevenness and even looking a bit tired and dull. Buying this product in Pink seemed counter intuitive... but it was on sale at a local store for only a few dollars and the Nude was not in stock, so I figured I'd give the Pink a try.

I was amazed at the difference in the look of my skin when I applied this product. It evens out my skin tone as well as the Nude did, and it also visibly brightens. I used the phrase "brightens twice" in my review title because not only does it brighten my skin, but it really brightens my mood, too. A stroke of the brush, a little blending, and my skin goes from looking like it wants to crawl back under the covers to looking wide awake and lively!

Thank goodness I was forced by circumstances to give it a try, because for me it's a perfect product. It's very lightweight and sheer enough to use alone, so I don't put anything over it except blush (talc-free Physician's Formula).

I decided to buy this after reading the positive reviews here on Amazon. My face is always red. Most of the time I look like pale tomato, other times I look like a lobster. I don't have rosacea but my face is constantly red and is overly sensitive. I usually wear a medium to full coverage foundation, but I hate that I look like I'm wearing a mask, so most of the time I just live with the fact that my face is red. As I've gotten older, my face has spots that have gotten redder and I can't afford laser treatments for it yet. So I decided to give this product a try. I've used green concealers in the past with mixed results, mostly I looked like I had a greenish cast to my skin. I've used yellow ones with better results, but still don't want to have to cover my whole face in yellow concealer before putting on foundation. Which is why I LOVE this stuff! It's sheer yet tones down the redness quite a bit without any irritation. It layers well underneath my Bare Minerals foundation. It is not a concealer though. I got a little too heavy handed with it my first use and the spots where I put too much primer on, the foundation clung to. Putting a thin even layer on evens out my skin so much so that on days I don't feel like wearing makeup, this is all I put on. I almost don't even need foundation now! I do have a couple of spots that require concealer, and I'm still looking for a good one to layer with this primer and my foundation, but overall I am thrilled with this product. It's better than I would have expected and much cheaper than the Smashbox one that I considered buying! Definitely will be buying and using this for as long as they make it! Oh and the SPF is mineral (Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide) which make it even better for my sensitive skin since I can't wear chemical sunscreens.

I have fair skin, and this product did work at taking the 'red' out. It worked so well that it completely sapped all color from my face. I didn't think it possible, but I was actually more pale without the redness to begin with. This is probably a good product, but it did not work for my fair skin. I have the orange primer, and that seems to go better with my pale skin. As for the product, it goes on smoothly. It takes me a quite a few clicks in order to get the product flowing correctly. I'd definitely give this a try, but be warned if you have fair skin: it might wash out all your color.

Honest reviews on Physicians Formula Correcting Primer 3-in-1 Corrector + Primer

I've never used a primer before, so this review might be biased. I purchased the orange tube, and I have very fair, combination skin. It works pretty well and evens out your skin tone in preparation for foundation. The primer goes on smooth, but I can feel when I am wearing it. It's not going to cover up any serious zits or blemishes on your face, but it does do an exellent job of giving you a more even skin tone. A nice additon to my makeup box. I'm still getting used to the twisty application.

This product does an okay job.

The applicator leaves a lot to be desired-the brush doesn't apply the product well and it takes several clicks for any of the primer to come up, and then it's too much. You're better off taking primer from the brush and applying it by hand. It doesn't work well for lessening the redness of blemishes either, just for general redness. It also feels tacky on my face.

You could probably find a better product for your money, and I'll be trying something else next time.
