My skin is very fair with olive complexion. Which color would be best for me of your Organic wear tinted moisturizer?

Hi!  It's hard to tell without seeing you in person, but you can probably try the darker shade - Natural to Tan Organics.  You will love the way this tinted moisturizer evens out your skin tone with sheer and natural coverage. 

which concealer is good for under eye dark circles? severe though

This is such a popular question among women.  When trying to conceal under eye circles, it's best to use the color correction principles. You want to look for a yello concealer which will cancel out the bluish tones.  I LOVE the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Correcting Concealers. You get a yellow concealer which will cover up bluish imperfections. It also comes with a flesh toned concealer for added coverage, and pink to highlight. Good luck!

Hi, I am new to physician formula, I got translucent powder natural beige I want to get a bronzer too, but I have some fine lines on my forehead which show when I wear the powder, I need ur suggestion for a nice bronzer and maybe a better powder that doesn't show my fine lines and is natural beige good, I have light to med tone color? Thank you

Hi! I'd recommend trying the Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Powder which is a light as air finishing powder and will blend into skin nicely.  It will instantly even out skin tonw and refinine skin surface for a smooth texture with a flawless youthful-looking finish.  The Physicians Formual Season to Season Bronzer is an amazing bronzer because it allows you to customize the perfect shade for your skin no matter the season. The customizable palette features four distinct bronzing tones that can be used individually, blended or layered together for a perfect tan glow. 


How to apply mascara without it bleeding into the area under the eye. I apply foundation and powder but it is not enough at this time

Hi!  Bleeding mascara can be so frustrating! First, make sure you remove any excess mascara from the brush before you begin applying. You want to apply in an upright, zig zag motion to make sure you coat all your lashes.  Then, use a Q-Tip to remove any excess mascara from the under eye area.  This will help prevent mascara from smudging. 

Morning Joanna, Do you REALLY use the PF brushes??? I prefer my own--unless I carry a compact in my bag. Thanks! Kimmy Mitchell-Sonefeld is FB Name!

Hi!  Yes - I do!  The great thing about the Physicians Formula brushes is that they are created to work best with the individual products. For example, I love the countoured brush that comes with the Physicians Formula Season to Season Bronzer.  The shape allows you to create natural contouring. I also love the Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Foundation Brush.  I ALWAYS use a foundation brush to apply foundation for a seamless application.  I also use professional brushes, but by using an assorment of both Physicians Formula brushes and professional brushes, I ensure that makeup is always applief flawlessly. Hope this helps!

I want to try the mineral wear talc free powder but don't know which shade to get. I am an nc35 at mac so what would I be for physicans formula?

Hi!  I would look for "Beige" and "Light Bronzer", but of course, be sure to test out the individual products to make sure they are the perfect shade for you.  I always recommend testing products on your face, where you'll truly be wearing them.  Good luck!

Hi Joanna, I really want something that makes my eyes look bigger. i have brown eyes, and purple doesnt really do anything for my eyes. I have the Shimmer Strips for Brown eyes but it doesnt really help?

Hi - great question!  Remember that light colors open up the eye, so I would recommend using the paler hues if you're trying to make eyes appear larger.  Also, it's super important to curl those lashes!  They truly open up the eye and make it appear bigger and brighter.  And remember when you're applying mascara, move the mascara wand in a zigzag from root to tip.  Apply two coats of mascara if you're looking for more volume.  Good luck!

Hi Joanna, I was wondering what eyeshadow color should I wear? I want an neutral everyday color with my brown eyes,but I don't want a brown shade. Thanks

For brown eyes, I LOVE purples!  You can go dark with eggplants and aubergine or lighter with lavender and lilac.  They all look great!  I also love golden hues to bring out the natural golden tones in brown eyes.  (I love the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing line of shadows, mascaras and liners which are designed for each eye color and make it easier than ever to figure out what colors will look best for you.)  Good luck!

Hi Joanna , I was wondering if you could suggest a natural looking type of physicians formula makeup to cover freckles i dont have so many but a few brown dots . Thank you

If you're looking for more serious coverage, definitely try a primer.  ( I love the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Primers SPF 15)  This will prep skin for makeup application, but it actaully resurfaces the look of skin for a more even application and extends the wear of cosmetics.  For added coverage, try the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Powder which will even out skin tone. 

I have oily face, really dark circles under eyes. Getting older, ugh! would love to know what you can suggest. I'm new to PF.

Hi!  You will love the Physicians Formula products.  I'd recommend trying the Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting line.  This new line which consists of a concealer, foundation and powder will help treat the visible signs of aging restoring firmness and elasticity and improving the skin's appearance instantly.  The Youthful Wear Concealer can help with those pesky dark circles. Skin will look radiant after using the Youthful Wear collection. Good luck!
