no foundation will match your skin tone like prescriptives, even if you don't buy the custom blended kind. virtual matte hides all of my imperfections, while not making me look like i'm wearing...

This is the best foundation if you have oily skin. It controls oil better than their Oil-Free (which I was loyal to for years). I've been using this for a month, and my skin is less oily! Plus,...
