I've been a faithful user of the original oil-free foundation and recently switched over to Virtual Matte. It's been about a month now and I'm still loving this. It took a while to find my shade...

I have oily skin, so this is great for me so far. Prescriptives has a great color selection. You will have seamless foundation. This provides good coverage (med. to full to be exact) and really...

I have mixed feelings about this foundation. For a matte makeup, it looks more natural and not as flat as most. I can't get the coverage thin enough, it's very heavy. It covers my broken...

This has got to be one of the worst foundations I've ever tried. Not only wasn't it matte (ok, it was for maybe 15 min.) but it felt so heavy. It felt like a mask and after a couple of hours it...

I use Prescriptives Traceless and Virtual Skin, so the Virtual Matte was VERY heavy on my skin. The color was perfect, but I even felt like I was wearing a mask when I smiled or squinted my eyes. ...

I'm oily/combo Mac NC35 and used Virtual Matte in Fresh Gold, which I think is the best match so far. It's definitely not sheer coverage, so be careful not to apply it too thick or it may look too...
