    I've been using Prescriptives make-up for 14+ years after a very good dermatologist recommended their products for acne-prone folks (like myself). I feel "safe" using Prescriptives products because...

    For my oily skin, this was the best pressed powder ever. It went on smooth, gave a little coverage, made my skin look satiny and not a bit chalky. I can't believe they have discontinued the...

    This worked out mediocre for me. Controlled oil for maybe 3-4 hours but after wards it all went back downhill for me. Also product made me break out (it apparently has cornstarch in it). Probably...

    I used this product several years ago, it was ok not the best color, and I was breaking out at the time. I am not sure if this had anything to do with it, but it does contain corn starch, which I...

    I like this powder. I have extremely oily skin and this does a decent job at controlling the oil. Yes, I do agree that it is a bit grainy but besides that, it does a great job at controlling oil...

    This powder looks beautiful on my skin and does a good job of controlling oil, but it feels terribly heavy and dry. I would say try it out in the store before buying it. If you do not mind how it...

    I find this pressed powder too grainy. It doesn't really stay on my skin and never looks that well blended in. On the lookout for a finely milled powder with staying power.

    This pressed powder provides good coverage with natural-looking color. The enclosed sponge can pick up a bit too much product for my liking; when the product is applied with a fully loaded sponge,...

    Virtual Matte is, for me, the best pressed powder out there. It has a beautiful texture and feels great going on. It keeps the oiliness away and doesn't look cakey. The enclosed sponge can pick up...

    Fantastic product that does its job. Not cakey at all. Lasts quite well. Best product on the market for this. Although is pricier than competitors for the quality it is worth it.

    Ok, first let me say, that I like this powder better than the infamous "MAC Blot" (although it does cost more than MB). In fact, I have two MAC blot powders sitting on my vanity unused, because I...
