Must-Try Foundation? Prescriptives Virtually Fresh

Monday April 2, 2007
Prescriptives has a new foundation out this month that promises to fix all your uneven skin gripes. I had the opportunity to try 'Virtually Fresh Skin Refining Makeup' this past week. It's SPF 15, lightweight and smells heavenly (is that weird in a foundation?). It went on much lighter than I expected, then blended in perfectly. There are 18 shades, so I strongly suggest trying them out at a Prescriptives counter with the help of a counter person.

The foundation is meant to reduce the sign of pores and fine lines over the course of four weeks. The four weeks part sounds a bit fishy to me (right when the return policy ends?), but the foundation is definitely worth a try if you (a.) are a Prescriptives aficionado and (b.) if you're looking for a new foundation that will minimize the appearance of fine lines, pores or wrinkles.

Reviews over at Makeupalley are good. Some women are thrilled with their purchase and claim it as their new Favorite Foundation, while others found it difficult to blend in. Check out the reviews here.

I love this foundation. After using it for the past month, it does it exactly what it’s meant for. It also feels really light on my face. I Highly recommend this product.
