Physicians Formula Organic Wear All Natural Liquid Foundation Elixir Tan, Full Coverage | Dermatologist Tested, Clinicially Tested

I love it! And I usually hate wearing makeup. Keep in mind, everyone’s skin type and shade is different, so what works for me might not work for you. Bur for me, I think I finally found my perfect foundation. It really does feel silky and like a “second skin”! Most foundation clogs my pores or smells chemically, or has a cakey finish, or oxidizes a weird color. I gave up on foundation years ago, and just focused on trying to take care of my skin and occasionally wearing eye makeup. Most of the time, foundations that aren’t wicked expensive, just don’t look good, and even the expensive ones that look good, usually feel awful on my skin and give me acne.This is completely different!! Wearing it right now, and for the first time in my life while wearing foundation, I don’t have the immediate desire to wash it off so my skin can breathe. My skin feels like it can breathe, I feel like I’m wearing a lightweight moisturizer, it has no scent, and I like that it has natural ingredients like jojoba oil. Honestly feels like it might even be beneficial for my skin, like it has the right amount of moisture and hydration, without being too oily.I will say, this is not a full matte look, this is a light layer of makeup for those who have minimal “flaws” they want to cover like the occasional stress acne or spots. I don’t recommend this for someone who is trying to go for a “full makeup” look. For me, I prefer lightweight coverage, so this works great. If you don’t like light coverage, it might not work for you. In this photo, I’m wearing no concealer under my eyes or to cover acne. I let a dabbed on layer of this foundation under my eyes and on any spots dry up first, and then added another layer all over my face. That’s it! No other makeup here. I also like that because it’s lightweight, it doesn’t settle too badly in the creases under my eyes. I have genetically present “eye bags” since childhood, they’re just how my eyes look. So that’s another reason I never typically liked foundation. This foundation is honestly doing good! Doesn’t settle in the creases in any obvious way.The color match is perfect, and again, I’ve never been that lucky before. I always struggled to find a good color because I feel like I’m usually between shades with mixed undertones (I have both warm and cool undertones on different parts of my face because of blood circulation). The fair-to-light shade blends perfectly with my skin, with actually neutral undertones, unlike some brands that claim to be neutral but usually end up oxidizing orangey and warm.It blends well with patting and dabbing with a towel or sponge, after applying with fingers. I don’t recommend using a brush for this, it’s too lightweight and will spread too thin.Oh btw! The “applicator” is not an applicator at all! It’s not a wand, it’s a dropper. The soft part at the top of the cap is squeezed to suck up product from the container, and then when you squeeze the cap again it comes out on your fingers or a blending sponge or pouf or towel to dab it on. You’re not supposed to use the cap to apply it directly to your face, it’s for measuring the amount you want to use to put on your hands or sponge before applying to your face. I actually really like that design a lot! I only end up using two, maybe three dropper fulls, so this design works well for me, because again, I’m not going for a very thick makeup look. Hope this info helps!

This foundation goes on smoothly and feels very thin on the skin. It does have a slight chemical smell but it is not long lasting and goes away quickly. Not super moisturizing but also not drying. Color runs VERY light. I bought a shade darker than i thought i needed and it is about 2 shades too light, so either buy a shade darker or be ready to mix it with another product. It does mix well and layers beautifully with my other cream, liquid, and powder products. Coverage is light, but it layers well. Bottle is a fair size as the product is relatively long lasting.

It felt good and covered well. The color samples displayed when I bought it lived up to their expectations.It is thinner and more watery like, but it went on well and a little bit goes a long way. Make sure to shake well when you use it.It provides good coverage and it felt good. I have some redness on my face from the last stages of a dermatitis flare-up. It didn't feel irritating on that and provided good coverage over the redness.I'm thankful I tried it.

I unfortunately have had to stop using what once was a good product because it has now become a terrible product.3 months ago I restocked this product. I noticed when I started using my new bottle (that I have been purchasing for over a year) that something was different. I could see little grainy specs in the formula which I thought was odd and it didn’t seem to have the right consistency. My face a week later then broke out in a terrible rash. It was so severe that it caused an urgent care trip and then a dermatologist. My eyes had swollen completely and were raw. The aftermath of the swelling coming down made my skin literally looked as if it was bruised and like I had 2 black eyes. It then spread to the rest of my face. Confirmed it was contact dermatitis by a dermatologist who suggested that I needed to stop using all products to figure out which one it was since I restocked multiples at a time. I didn’t want to believe it was one of my favorite products, but sure enough, that was the one that stopped the rash.Because I was in denial, I stopped using the last bottle and re-ordered a new hoping it was just a faulty bottle/batch that caused the issue. Unfortunately, the attached picture is what I received. The formula is separated this time and won’t mix. It looks disgusting and like it’s contact dermatitis waiting to happen. Whatever changed with this product ruined it.

I have thrown this in the trash so many times and then grabbed it back out not wanting to waste money. I probably wouldn't buy again, but I will push through wearing it until it's gone. I just can't get past the bad smell. It's supposed to be natural, but to me, it has a strong "plastic" smell. It's weird. And the dropper is also strange. I'm not sure how that is even supposed to work. The color is lighter than I expected, so if in doubt between two shades, order the darker shade. It covers my face, but not as well as my old Burt's Bees foundation that I loved so much. It sort of dissipates off my face immediately. It also curdles into little beads inside the bottle. The whole thing is just a little "off." It's also a little oily. I wanted to like this, but I just don't.

Very liquid, do not cover well

This foundation rated very good on my app that tells you if there are bad chemical additives. Happy with the color, texture, and coverage. Had a good clean smell too. Will buy again.
