Are any of your mascaras oil free?

Yes, the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duos are!

My questions are in two categories. For a man's face and without being noticable, what product would you recommend to even out skin tone. To reduce lines?

To even out skin tone, I would look for a lightweight tinted moisturizer, such as the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15.  It will provide a bit of color without being too heavy or cakey,  SPF 15 protection and a matte finish.  If you're looking to reduce fine lines, it's always a good idea to check with your dermatologist.  It's a perfect question for Dr. O'Brien!

How can I apply eye make up to compensate for drooping upper lid? I am 61 years old and I am considering surgery but in the meantime what can I do?

Great question! The key here is to apply a shimmery cream or bone colored shadow or highlighter to the brow bone to give a "lifting" effect.  I also like to line the upper and lower wetlines to add eyes definition.  I love to use the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiners for this.  The formula is incredible - super long lasting and there are a variety of hues to compliment your specific eye color.  Good luck!


I am hoping you can tell me what shade of foundation I am suppose to use from your product line. Since it varies from company to company. My skin tone is olive. I am a quarter indian, so I have a light tan. I want to switch back to liquid foundation and would love to try your product.Thank you for your time. Jennifer Mathis

Hi!  It's always a bit difficult to recommend an exact shade without having seen you, but I would look for shades such as the Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Liquid Foundation in Nude Beige, the Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Tinted Moisturizer in Natural Beige or Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Foundation in Medium which are more tan/olive.  Be sure to always test the shades on your face (not your hand or neck etc) and in all different types of light to make sure you always look flawless!

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!
