it just means that you should be prepared for a few touch ups during the work day/night out. It even promises 16 hour coverage, BUT I’ve found that touch ups are necessary throughout the day that doesn’t mean that it’s not a great long-wearing powder that gives you a flawless, airbrushed finish…. I suggest using your favorite setting powder, buffing powder, or foundation powder makeup brush to apply this slightly creamy and smooth, but textured, buildable coverage foundation. It’s not a good brush, and it’s thinly shaped with a fan like appearance. It’s packaged as a pressed foundation in a foundation pan, a plastic compact, with a bottom storage compartment, which features a mirror and a small, thin, kabuki brush BUT I don’t suggest using the kabuki brush.

“Airbrushing Pressed Powder” is a mineral based powder, but it is talc-free, which is good news, considering the link between talc and cancer. Physician’s Formula “Airbrushing Pressed Powder” $12.49 And the good news is, the “Airbrushing Pressed Bronzer” is the same price and provides the same features, and benefits (as well as the same formula) as the “Airbrushing Pressed Powder”.

For medium-deep to deeper skin tones, you will find that the “Airbrushing Pressed Bronzer” (from the same Physician’s Formula line), will accommodate your skin tone MUCH better.

These colors can be used, post-baking foundation after the transparent or colorless “setting” powder (or “Airbrushing Pressed Powder” in Transparent) is applied and bakes for 5 to 7 minutes (but I’ll cover a full “baking” tutorial in my next blog post). The “Airbrushing Pressed Powder” comes in 2 other shades Beige, and Creamy Natural, which accommodates light to medium skin tones.

It comes in a “transparent” shade, so it can be used for baking foundation (colorless or transparent shades are best for baking foundation or concealer). The claims of a “lifting” effect are a little over the top, but it does give you a flawless face especially after applying foundation or concealer. It has SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen for appropriate sun protection, and DOES have a “smoothing” and “firming” effect when applied. Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear “Airbrushing Pressed Powder” is a GREAT drugstore/more affordable pressed powder, that delivers a smooth application, buildable coverage, and a flawless finish. $12.79 OR Target, CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, & Ulta Physician’s Formula: “Mineral Wear Airbrushing Pressed Powder”ĭupe: It Cosmetics “Celebration Foundation” So today’s subject is all about drugstore beauty products, or more affordable makeup, that mirror or duplicate (dupe) those high end beauty products we depend on for perfecting our beauty routine and rituals: Powder Foundation Edition.
