Final Thoughts
Physicians Formula has made their mark with their Butter collection and I was so excited to see a foundation join the line up. Of course, the lightest shade is too dark for me. I added some white mixer to make it work. Physicians Formula shades tend to be too dark for me so I wasn’t surprised. Fair is very warm and dark. It caked up around my mouth and nose, both of these are problem areas for me, but this one looked worse than usual. It was a little patchy and sat weird on my skin. The scent doesn’t bother me, but I know some people are very sensitive to scents so I wanted to mention it. I don’t have an AM/PM comparison photo, but I didn’t like it so that doesn’t really matter. This was a fail for me!

  1. PF shades start pretty dark. They do have a shade adjuster, that starts at just white, on their website. (I mean, i know it would be easier if they just sold lighter ones. But most companies don’t sell shade adjusters.)

    1. Very good point! I was just looking at those shade adjusters today. At least they have an option so you make their products work.
