Hello, anyone using this? It's supposed to work like a press powder to even or enhance your skin tone. I bought the one in highlighter...which I'm confused...it's multi colored. So how does it work? Do I just brush it all over my face or on certain areas of my face? Also, I don't notice much when I brush it on my face...hhm, can someone pls tell me how to use it? Here's the link if any of you is interested: http://www.physiciansformula.com/detail_list.asp?itemid=01640&scene=POWDERS&categorid=108

I purchased this product when CVS was having a sale on Physician Formula. I like it. The results are very subtle. It seems to give me a slight brightening of the skin. MUA reviews seem to be more positive for those who are very fair. My skin color is medium.

I don't consider this product to be a highlighter but more a brightener. Highlighters seem to have some shimmer to them. When using I lightly apply it to my whole face with or without foundation (before any blush).

I have the green color corrector. It really does tone ruddiness of my complexion down and my skin does not look green by the way.

I once had a physican's formula product that sounds like this-- it was multi-colored pearls. Green, yellow, white, pink... At first I just swirled my brush on the pearls like it said too, but then thought it didn't seem like I was getting stuff on it, so I crushed them. I used it all over. It gave me a "healthy" pink look.

I use thier Mineral Makeup (pressed powder) and like it quite well. The only thing is that I bought the lighthest one (BTW - this one also has 2 shades of beige - light brown in it). It was fine during the winter (when I am generally very pale), but I am noticing that now, that I am getting a bit of a tan (not too much, of course, not good for skin Wink

), it is just too light. I'll have to buy a darker shade.

But overall, I like it! HTH Smile

I'd use a big powder brush, swirl it around in there, blow off the excess, and dust it where you need it. The colors are supposed to mix together to make it come out right. Smile

You must be pyschic because I've actually been composing a review for the PF Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Peach" which I have found gives me the sort of "naughty glow" that one is supposed to achieve after having applied the infamous Nars Orgasm blush! I actually love this stuff but now I don't know if I'll bother to actually post my review since it's no longer one of my special, secret finds! *CareKate pouts*

LMAO.

I actually use this in the "bronzer" and like it pretty well. My cousin used it and I thought it looked great on her so I bought it a year ago and have been using it ever since. Sometimes I feel it might have a bit of orange to it, but overall I like that it adds a bit of color to my lifeless, pale face.

I use the Light Bronzer as a blush and when I do I almost always get compliments on how "pretty" my complexion is.

Bahahaha!

CareKate - Have you tried the Cover Girl Cheekers in Pretty Peach? I just fell in love with the way this looks but realized it's not great for the skin, so I'm trying to find a good alternative. However, I want to limit it to drugstore products for now, at least until I can pay off my trip and recent skincare purchases. I was hoping this product might be the answer. By the way, here are some other ones I've tried that look peachy on me, just not as great as the CG:

Rimmel - Santa Rose and Sienna
Milani - Luminous

Thanks!

No, I've actually wanted to try the Cheekers Pretty Peach, but I haven't found any stores around here that carried that particular set of products from Cover Girl. I did try the Milani Luminous, but did not like it on me AT ALL.

I'd def recommend the PF Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Peach" -- just buy it at Walgreens/CVS or Walmart so you can take it back if it isn't quite right for you. It is on the higher-priced side ($9.99) for a drugstore product, but you get a helluva lot so it'll last for ages -- assuming the color works for you, afterall!

I started looking on their websites after I asked you about this, and I can't find that particular product. Are you sure the one you have isn't called "Peaches to Glow"? That's the only multi-colored palette I could find that was peach. I'm planning to make a run to CVS tomorrow though so I'll look while I'm there. PF has so many blushes now.

By the way, CVS is where I got my CG cheeker, so I'm not sure why your's doesn't have it. I picked it up because it had an "Allure favorite" sticker on it so I figured it must be pretty good. I just wish it was better for the skin, but I'm still using it until I find something better. I wasn't a huge fan of Milani either. Let me know if you ever find this cheeker and how you like it! Very Happy

No, I saw that one at my Walgreens, but it wasn't the one I had read about on MUA and saw an ad for in InStyle or some other beauty mag. I ended up finding PF Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Peach" at Walmart.
