Bronzer

Physicians Formula offers bronzer in all formats: powder, cream, liquid, and hybrid. These are my top picks. You will never experience orange skin or a muddy conplexion.

This liquid bronzer is multi-purpose. You can apply it directly to the skin and blend it with a brush or a sponge for a skin-like finish. It can also be mixed into foundation to add warmth.

Blush

The brands best blush comes in powder and liquid formats. Their shades are flattering for a variety of skin tones, and they stick to natural flushes.

This liquid blush is best used on the cheeks for a skin-like flush. It dries down to be slightly tacky. You can use it on the lips and get a monochrome look, but the formula is not the most suited for that.

Highlighter

Physicians Formula's best highlighters are powders and liquids. They cater to a variety of skin tones but they are never over the top with the glow. It's just right.

I go straight in on the face by applying this highlighter to the high points, then blending it out with a sponge and even my fingers. You can also mix it into foundation to add a glow. No glitter in sight.

Lips

Physicians Formula has both a great juicy lip and matte lip option. They make colors that are suitable for daily wear and enhance who you really are.

This is a matte liquid lipstick that fully dries down and lasts all day. It's on the drier side, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Be sure to exfoliate and moisturize your lips prior to application.
