I'm kinda shocked that companies haven't realized they need to be more inclusive and equally accessible. It's like they aren't paying attention or hoping it will be enough. It's just not. Thank you for always having that awareness in your reviews. ❤️
Just an FYI Physicians Formula did officially announce that the are bringing back the healthy foundation due to the overwhelming response to it being discontinued. It will now be exclusive to the PF website, Walmart website and Amazon.

Maybe for future foundation wear tests, you could try putting the setting powder or setting spray on one side of your face to truly see if those extra steps that you usually do take care of any wear problems.
Your reviews are just fantastic, so thorough, I love that you show us how it really looks, both your skin and the foundation. As a 37 year old I appreciate this SO much! Greetings from Austria :)
I think it actually looked really pretty on you! Just one not the best long term. From a normal distance away you look great at the end! Love your eye makeup, I had to save that palette you listed. 😍
What blush is in your cheeks 😳 it lasted pretty long time. Normally my blush tend to disappear after 3 hours, What do you use to make it last longer? 🙏🏽
It's a combo of two MAC blushes I demo'ed in my MAC Black Cherry video! I didn't do anything to them at all these extra dimension blushes are just a great formula 💜
I know this video is old but we only have 4 shades available in Mexico. I tried the shade light to medium on my combination skin and I didn't like it, too warm for my skin undertone (I'm a neutral, it seems) and I looked like a frying pan.
I bought this a few weeks ago, and it was HORRIBLE on my dry skin! Returned! The smell LINGERED for me:( Ulta and Target have these shades because those may be the shades that sell the most... ??
I'm sure the retailers are carrying products based on what they think will sell, but the discrepancy in price - and accessibility too - but especially making the price higher for the deeper shades is really not cool in my opinion.
I have the exact same skin tone and skin type like you-physicians formula site says that for ln3 shade of their original foubdation, the equivalent shade for this one is light to medium.Have you tried that one?Also, which foundationswould you suggest (low to medium budget)?A reference to the shades that match you, would be greatly appreciated since we are a skin match in every way*PS:I have recently found out about the healthy foundation, which I did manage to find easily since apparently they relaunched it - sth must have changed though judging from comments of the older formula - the newly launched healthy foundation for example smells like tiramisu (coffee and sweet) whilst older reviews referred to it as smelling like paint
For a company started because his wife couldn’t wear makeup, PF is a weird one to use fragrance. Too bad about the shade range, sad to see a company so behind the times
I couldn’t handle the scent of the healthy foundation. The smell lingered all day for me and I thought it smelled like chemicals or paint lol maybe I got a bad one.
Ack holy problematic with the shades!! Rubs me the wrong way too. You’re the only one I trust with foundations! We have very similar skin so I love when you test out foundations so I don’t waste my money if it doesn’t look like it’ll work out for me lol
Not for me for so many reasons: scent, not impressed with coverage or how it lasts to name a few. Also, Physicians Formula deserves to be slammed for its inadequate shade range with no darker shades in stores?
I don’t understand why everyone is angry with PF for what is available in stores and not the stores who are choosing to only carry half the line. I could be misinformed and please correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it the retailer’s choice what they order and carry, not the manufacturer?? I agree the anger is completed warranted but isn’t it misdirected in some of these comments? Like shouldn’t you be angry with Ulta or whoever isn’t providing the full range?? Am I completely wrong? Please explain if I am! It absolutely upsets me too that someone who needed a darker shade would have to pay more. That is awful. But where does the blame lie? With PF or the stores? It would seem to me, it’s the retailers..
Blame lies on both sides for sure. PF and their retailers both agreed to the distribution deal *but* Physicians Formula is the one who set their prices higher *knowing* that their site is the only place to get the deeper shades. It's not just the availability issue, it's the fact that PF is purposefully charging more for the deeper shades.
But MSRPs are usually more than retailers actually charge and PF isn’t charging more for the dark shades on their site than the light shades on their site. 🤷🏼♀️ thank you for your reply and sharing this info. Definitely something shady going on here! I’m just not totally convinced it’s PF fault. And I don’t see anyone saying they will now boycott Ulta... if anyone works in procurement at a big retailer and can share more information with us on how these deals normally work, I would love to know more! I hope my comments are coming across as they are intended - I’m not trying to invalidate anyone’s concerns. I just truly want to understand better what’s going on when something like this is happening.
An interesting idea but unfortunately doesn't pan out for PF here. I checked the pricing on a random handful of other PF products and there's a serious issue... Organic Wear Tinted Lip Treatment $9.49 on PF site and Ulta, Butter Bronzer is $15.99 at Ulta and only $15 from PF site, Organic Wear Sculpting Bronzer Stick is $11.99 from both, Skin Booster Vitamin Shot is $13.49 from both, Extreme Shimmer Nude Palette is $12.49 from both, Setting The Tone Finishing Powder is $14.99 from both. Now I didn't cross check every single product but these were the first products I happened to look at and all of them are the same price or cheaper from PF. It would be one thing if all or even most of the products were priced higher from the PF site, but they *are* effectively charging more for the deeper shades than the lighter ones and it looks like they are doing it on purpose since they can afford to price everything else the same. I don't plan on personally boycotting any brands or retailers nor do I use my platform to encourage that but this is undeniably a case were PF is just as much if not more in the wrong, in my opinion.
I checked the retailers in my country and it's the same thing, only light to medium. If PF can only afford so much shelf space at all their retailers, sometimes they prioritise shades (other brands do it too). So prioritising lighter shades all around shows that priority, deeper shades are excluded and less accessible. The pricing discrepancy makes it even worse, as other comments mentioned, they make their deeper shades costs more.
Wow .... the whole $3 extra for a darker shade leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I was going to buy this foundation but I cannot support them after hearing this 😔
I didn't realize how horrible the shade range was before I bought it but I do like it a lot but wont purchase my winter shade nor buy it again I dont support non inclusive ranges with my money
Was not a big fan on Physicians Formula to begin with, but now not at all. And i'm very disappointed in Ulta and Target for not offering the complete range of shades.
This is soooooo wrong! On of the reasons I don’t purchase these products from @physiansformula At least I could find all the Heallthy Foundation shades in my local CVS. It’s sad because I like their Ingredients.
@@MakeupJustForFun I wanted to thank you for always being inclusive. You are one of the few Beauty Channels I watch for that very reason. We have a mixed family so I am always looking for products for Very Fair to Very Deep. I need to know we’re I can pickup products in one shot because of COVID.
I don't buy anything physicians formula anymore since 2018 because of their lack of inclusivity. It is so not cool. I'm not surprised with your discovery on the lack of availability and the price is looking more like discrimination. I'm only here to support your videos but it's disheartening to know there is more issues with physicians formula for people of color. Thanks for pointing that out. It just hammers in my reasons not to support physicians formula.
I was honestly so hopeful for PF after the release of the Healthy Foundation that had a really nice and obviously thoughtful shade range. It seemed like they were actually trying with that one and it was a great formula! But this is clearly a 1 step forward 2 steps back situation for the brand 😔
Makeup.Just.For.Fun I'm sure many others thought the same thing but are unaware of the price difference because of the pandemic. I'm glad you covered that in your video for those of us who would be clueless otherwise.

They should've just kept the healthy foundation 🤣 Thx for trying it!
I agree with you 100%! 💜

I loved the healthy foundation so much. I’m so sad they discontinued it!
I don't understand! Something that so many people liked, including me! And they replace it with this one!? Grrr...
Agreed! I liked that one too!
They just brought it back! Walmart and Amazon exclusive I think
Good morning Amanda! Always excited to watch 😊💜
Good morning! Thanks for watching! 💜
@@MakeupJustForFun You're welcome 😊
What is that blush? I couldn’t stop staring!
I think it actually looked really pretty on you! Just one not the best long term. From a normal distance away you look great at the end! Love your eye makeup, I had to save that palette you listed. 😍
Yay! So excited to watch your video 💚 Hope everyone has a nice day
You too!! 💜

Thanks for pointing out the shade availability/price discrepancy. That's icky.
Yeah, that's terrible. I don't see why.
It's a choice I certainly don't understand 🤦🏻♀️
The shade range wouldn't work for me. I'm too fair and cool toned. I wanted to say I love your eyeshadow!
I know this video is old but we only have 4 shades available in Mexico. I tried the shade light to medium on my combination skin and I didn't like it, too warm for my skin undertone (I'm a neutral, it seems) and I looked like a frying pan.

@@MakeupJustForFun Yes, I get that:)
You’re lucky you can return make up in America, here in the UK you can’t return open make up items, but we can try most things in store so...
Of course wonderful 💕😻
I’ve yet to try a foundation and concealer in one that fits the bill!

Thanks, Amanda.
As always, another great review. I have no intention of buying this foundation due to the lack of inclusivity.
Thanks for the review is well appreciate. I might pass because of the smell.
Physicians Formula is a no for me until they're more inclusive. Loved your video. Appreciate you pointing out how icky it is.

I read that it smells like roses, so that's a no for me
I think it smells like tanning oil 🤣
Ugh scented. WHY?!?!?!!!!
Physician’s Formula won’t be getting my money this time. I’m wearing Fenty baby! 💁🏾♀️

Blatant racism. Thank you for acknowledging the discrepancies.
I just can't get past their skanky odor. 🤢
It's not very impressive to me
Def not gonna be a fave for me either
Fair shade isn't fair enough either 😒 come on pf
