   I tried this in light medium and love it. It’s long lasting. Even coverage, super quick to work with. I really appreciate the sun protection. I think the shade choices may be limited for some people, it’s my guess that is the reason for a low overall rating, because it’s actually a really good product.

   I am glad I failed to view the reviews of this foundation or I wouldn’t of made the purchase. I was surprised to find a very low rating. It’s true the color selection is poor. However, the light/medium matched my skin. For some reason, I’m not experiencing an orange shade. The coverage is medium, and I thought it was easy to apply with the sponge that was included. I didn’t bother using a concealer as this seemed to do the trick. The only issue I have is dark circles around my eyes. I really was happy the beauty balm didn’t irritate them. I have dry skin, and this foundation wears well… no flaking. I do not think it feels heavy on my skin. It feels nice, actually. So far, I have not had to re-apply. I like that it matched my skin, wears well, and gives me the look of nice skin. Also, I think it makes me look more rested. The first time I wore it, my husband told me, you’re looking good. I was pleased to hear that. For me it was a good purchase. I love the idea of a multitasking product, so I just might buy this one again. I say might, because I am always looking to try something new. That’s just me..

   The coverage is medium, best applied with your fingers or a sponge. Looks streaky with a brush. Creases in my eye wrinkles, but you dont have to apply it there. As with all physicians formula products, the shade selection is terrible. I am cool toned and pale, the shade light-medium was too warm and dark for me. This does feel moisturzing but at what cost. Even on my dry skin, this is just far to greasy looking. I set it with far more powder than usual and still looked shiny. I did like that it had an spf. I would not recommend this.

   Pros:
   Cruelty free
   Medium coverage
   Contains spf
   Good for on the go
   Feels moisturizing

   Cons:
   Greasy looking
   Creases
   Poor shade range

   I first bought this when I started using PF products and the packaging caught my eye. this compact cream made me look as if I had flawless skin, and I love that it has spf 30.

   so I put this on one day in the morning and then went out with my best friend later that day and she asked if I was wearing makeup and I totally forgot that I even put anything on, so I answered no, but when I got home, I was using a makeup wipe and I saw color on it and that’s when I remembered I put this on.

   I used this in the summertime, so the light shade matches me.
   also some shades for PF products are not that consistent, this ‘light’ is a lot darker than others

   I bought this as I’m trying to switch to more natural cosmetics, specifically foundation as skin absorbs the chemicals. sadly this compact is far too thick and sits a top the skin so it looks cakey and like a mask. my skin looked so oily. would not repurchase.

   I got a $6 off coupon for PF products so I decided to give this a try. Comes with 8g of product. Retails for $18ish at Superstore. PF is up there in price for a drugstore product.

   For reference, I have hyper-sensitive skin. It’s normal/dry (moreso on the dry side). My skin is relatively clear. I have some acne scars and redness around my nose and cheeks. Also some darkness around my chin.

   The shade selections SUCKS. Let’s just get that out of the way. There are 2 colors. light and light/medium (which is basically ORANGE if you ask me). I chose light and thankfully it worked on my skin. The color adjusts quite well and matches my skin PERFECTLY. I’m a MAC NC 25ish.

   Upon initial application it does look EXTREMELY dewy/oily looking. Once this sets though, it gives a more subdued dewy-ness. I really like the finish (keep in mind, i do have more dry skin). If you have more oily skin, you might want to avoid this product.

   This BB cream does even out my skin tone and blurs out imperfection. It’s not full coverage but I wasn’t expecting it to cover all my flaws – one good layer was all i needed. I can still see minor skin imperfections when I use this foundation… however, in pictures, my skin looks even and flawless. Gives a your skin but better look with a healthy glow. I would recommend setting this with powder though if you tend to get more oily throughout the day.

   This does transfer easily if you do not set with a setting spray. Even with a setting spray, I do find it transfers, just not as badly.

   This is the only BB cream I have tried. Most BB creams contain titanium dioxide (which irritates my sensitive skin) but this one doesn’t. It contains Zinc Oxide which is more gentle.

   ***UPDATE*** – the more I use this, the more I dislike it. The first 2 times I used this product, i LOVED it since my skin had no problems. Then after that, it went downhill. I do suffer from the minor breakouts here and there..and when that happens, this BB balm is just AWFUL. There is like zero coverage, it doesn’t glide on as easily and made my flaws even more apparent. If you have problematic skin, I’d avoid this completely. I think they need to work on re-formulating this.

   PF products are a huge hit and miss for me. This one is a definite miss (along with their city glow bronzer – Paris)

   Also without a coupon, this isn’t cheap at all. Wouldn’t repurchase but will forcefully use what I have left.

   1 lippie since it didn’t break me out.

   This is an okay product but I personally would not repurchase. It felt very cakey on my skin, and you couldn’t notice this in person but if someone took a picture of me (flash or no flash) I would appear orange! It didn’t break me out which is good but other than that I wouldn’t repurchase or recommend.

   All over even coverage, great coverage and it gives you a dewy glow. This product does not make my skin break out which is awesome too!

   Do not apply moisturizer beforehand… It will be way to greasy with it…really wanted to like this. I have used other PF items and have been pleased. This color was a little too yellow based for what they called Light.

    I bought this at Loblaws for half-price.
    I really liked this product!
    It didnt make my skin look orange or greasy, but that probably due to my combination-dry skin.
    This product gave me a nice finish with a glow.
    I would buy his again if it was on sale.
