Although it is an open-shelf brand, the quality of Physicians Formula's products has always maintained a very high standard, even on par with the counter brand. Its signature product, the Butter Contour Powder, is a stepping stone for many people when they first enter the contouring pit, and many beauty bloggers still compare it to the likes of NARS, Too Faced or Benefit.
The ultra-fine powder is the biggest reason why butter has stood for many years. It is soft to the touch, and there is a slight wet feeling when touched by fingertips, as if it is touching the butter that is gradually melting, which is why it has the reputation of "butter contouring". The powder of the product is delicate, and the thin coating and stacking are suitable, which will not cause the powder to get stuck. The delicate powder gives the contouring power excellent blending power, even if you apply too much color, as long as you sweep back and forth, you can blend and contour, and the error rate is low, which is very suitable for beginners. In order to facilitate the powder, the powder is pressed loosely, so it is difficult to avoid flying powder, and the remaining powder should be knocked off before being put on the face, so as not to be all over the face.
The butter contouring has moderate color rendering, even if it is stained with a large amount of powder, it will not be overly colored and "cast into a big mistake". There are 8 shades of butter contouring, but only 3 are suitable for Asian skin tones: Light Bronzer, Bronzer and Deep Bronzer. Light copper is similar to Benefit's Hoola Lite contouring color, because it is designed for white skin, its color is extremely light, it is not colored at a time, and it can be layered multiple times to produce an effect; Not only can it be contoured, but it can also be used as a complexion powder. Dark copper is reddish in color and is mainly used for bronzed skin tones, but it is difficult to use for nose shadows. Copper is the most versatile, not only suitable for girls with yellow tones and white skin, but also suitable for sun-skinned skin. Although the copper color is warm and slightly pearlescent, it does not redden, and the gloss is not obvious, so the nose shadow is not abrupt, and the sides of the nose are swept lightly, and the finish is natural, which is suitable for daily commuting and contouring.
Butter contouring 11g is 149 yuan, which is a lot and is also inexpensive. The coconut tree on the packaging is set against the ripples embossed by the powder to create a laid-back summer beach feel. The coconut milk fragrance of contouring powder is slightly sweet and greasy, some people like it and some people hate it. The box also comes with a puff, which is a bit of a chicken bit on the makeup, and it is easy to rub the base makeup, so it is recommended to use other brushes to apply makeup.
In addition to the popular butter contour, PF also has a rather unpopular but quite popular contouring series, namely Bronze Booster. Compared to the light, everyday butter contouring, the Bronze Booster delivers a more bold finish. The various bronzers in the collection are mostly warm orange in color, and they are paired with pink or orange blush in spring and summer, which is very energetic. Some contours have a faint golden shimmer, which looks exaggerated, but when pushed away, it is a relatively clear light gold luster, and the makeup effect is not too high-profile.
The Bronze Booster contouring powder has the same texture as the butter contour, both of which are powdery and soft and waxy. Its shape is changeable, but each contour is printed with the sun totem, and the powder is very good-looking.
