Years ago Joan Rivers made a powder compact that was a multicolor correction powder.

 

It had splotches of blue-green-pink-yellow all in one compact, and you swirl your brush all over the powder and then onto your face. I awlays used it as my finishing powder because it not only color corrected, but it also blended and corrected any lines of demarcation between foundation and blush, or anywhere else that I messed up.

 

I loved it so much I had a supply, and I have finally run out. I have looked everywhere for a similar product. There are some I have seen but they are creme texture and you have to put each color on one at a time (you know, blue under the eyes, green somewhere else, yellow wherever, you get the point).

 

I really like the swirl it all together with a kabuki and just brush it all over and Voila! Done.

 

Does anyone remember this powder? OR does anyone know what I am talking about and knows a brand that I could use now? I have been hating my foundation because I am missing my correction powder Smiley Sad

 

Thanks in advance, I know you ladies know of something....somewhere??? Help!

Physician’s Formula had a couple different shades of these a few years ago.

As I recall, one of them was  VERY similar at least in color, to the JR product, and there was a second. Erosion that was mostly in neutral tones.

 

They were definitely a pressed powder, not cream, and they seemed very good to my skin, but both of them were darker than what would work on my egg yolk white skin. 

 

The compacts were under $10 each so they hopefully wouldn’t break the bank if they still make them.

 

I always hate it when this happens.

Guerlain Meteorites is the original and in my opinion best version of this sort of multicolor powder. Expensive but it lasts forever, smells amazing, and comes in compact form as well as the classic version.

That Pysicians Formula powder compact is one that I was wanting, but for some reason every store (drugstore-Walgreens, CVS etc) now only seem to stock the cream in a tube. No one is carrying the compact in my area.

 

I tried the cream but it is used to correct your skin before you use foundation and I didn't like it. I can't seem to find the powder compact, because that multicolor powder is exactly what Joan's was like and it is great for last step. Joans was probably better quality and it lasted forever. But now I need to find a replacement.

 

Maybe I should look on Amazon. Or someone said PF is at Ulta. I have never been in that store. I could try there.

 

I can't seem to find the right color in Balance and Brighten. I am not light  and I am not a medium. I tried 2 colors of that and it didn't look good.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now I am on a mission lol Smiley Happy
