Background Info (to combat bias):
Skin Type: normal
Foundation Preference: light-coverage, natural, satin-finish
……
Foundation: Physician’s Formula ‘Butter Believe It!’ Foundation + Concealer
Price: $14.99 (Physician’s Formula Website)
Shade: currently available in 12 shades. Mine is in ‘Light-to-Medium’
Application Method: left 1/2 face with a foundation brush, right 1/2 face with a damp sponge
Dexterity Concerns: none
Oxidization: yes; slight oxidization
Extra Information: contains three types of butters from the Amazon Rainforest – Murumuru, Cupauçu, & Tucuma. Both clinically & dermatologist tested. This product is cruelty-free (PETA-certified), vegan, 12-month PAO, made in USA
Rules: no base primer, no powder, or setting spray – no other makeup to affect wear; just the foundation
Activity: moderate house-cleaning, cleaned out my car outside in the heat (92°) for 1-hour, refrained from touching face at all times
……
⭐ Initial Application: (1230) thicker consistency, needed 6 pumps for full-face, prefer coverage on ‘brush’ side, full-coverage application, covered everything – redness, melasma, & dark blemishes, natural skin finish
……
🕑 2-Hour Mark: (1430) still wearable; looks like I’ve just applied it! Sweating on my face has brought back my melasma (but I think this would be further hidden by color corrector & concealer).
……
🕔 5-Hour Mark: (1730) still wearable; looks slightly patchy on left cheek & under right eye. Wore off in a small patch on chin.
……
🕗 8-Hour Mark: (2030) still wearable; no significant changes
……
🕛 12-Hour Mark: (0030) still wearable; only change is some slight wear around nostril area.
……
🚦Rating: A
……
⭐ RATING LEGEND:
A = totally wow’d me
B = not the best, but I like it
C = personal bias, nothing wrong w/ product
D = this didn’t work out for me
F = I totally hate this
……
🤓 Final Thoughts:
▪️True Coverage: full
▪️True Finish: natural
▪️Shade Matching: foundation does slightly oxidize, so that may affect your shade matching. Physician’s Formula utilizes ‘Findation’ on their website to assist in shade matching.
▪️Recommended Application Method: brush
▪️Recommended Skin Type: any
▪️Recommended MAX Wear Time: 12+ hrs
▪️Primer Recommendation: yes, pore-filling
▪️Melasma Test: passed
▪️Packaging: standard
▪️Value – Using the ‘average’ amount of foundation as 1.0 fl oz., this calculates to be $14.99/ounce, which I would consider mid-end pricing (<$10=low-end; $11-$25=mid-end; $26-$60= high-end; >$61=luxury)
▪️Extra Information: I couldn’t believe how long this lasted on my skin & still looked freshly applied! It definitely holds true to the ‘longwearing’ claim! Usually, every foundation breaks up on my nose at some point, but this one never did.

Your reviews are so good! You would be great at YouTube if you ever wanted to do it!
I can’t tell did you find the color too dark for you?
Love this review. Sadly the lightest shade won’t fit me
