    It seems as though I've spent most of my life trying to find the perfect foundation shade match and formula. I have a LOT of horror stories. I used to wear the Px Custom Blend foundation before...

    No longer discontinued: Prescriptives is back from the dead and sold only on their website (not at cosmetic counters.) It was a hugely popular brand in the 80's and 90's and the industrial grey...

    I love this foundation. It’s medium coverage that’s buildable and is gorgeous on my skin. Very natural finish. I’ve tried Tarte, IT, Clinique, MAC, ELDW and countless drug store brands like...

    I have worn Prescriptives Virtual Matte foundation for at least 15 years and loved it, until my last 2 bottles. It has been reformulated so it now streaks, cakes, and has lost the dewy look it once...

    The first thing I want to say is that while this is not available in stores, you can still purchase it online. Shipping is free as are returns. Sales or gwp are frequent. I have been using...

    I wonder if they have changed the formula for the better. This used to be my favorite foundation being it withstood my cardio and strength training sessions, and resisted humidity. The color match...

    I'd previously used this foundation in my teens and early 20s and LOVED it. That was until I discovered CHANEL's Teint Fluide Universel (in shade "Clair") and it became my HG foundation. Sadly,...

    Similar to most reviewers reviewing this product, I am very loyal to the Prescriptive brand and was gutted when they shut up shop. Now I pay almost $100 per bottle for a US company to buy it and...

    Best foundation I've tried. It blended very well and I it felt like I was wearing nothing. It's a very sheer foundation so those looking for more coverage I would not recommend this one. Too bad...
