Prescriptives Makeup

About Prescriptives

Owned by the renowned Estee Lauder Company, Prescriptives specializes in luxurious makeup, skincare and fragrances. The brand offers a collection that is not only colorful, playful and targeted to all skin tones and types, but also unlike any other available on the market today.

The Prescriptives Colorprint system is the real star of this forward-thinking company. Colorprint is a complimentary consultation that helps clients determine the ideal foundation, eye, cheek and lip colors that best suit their skin tone. The system categorizes all color cosmetic products into specific Colorprint groups. Each group is designed to complement a certain skin tone. The following is a basic overview of the Colorprint chart:

In addition to matching existing products to your unique tone, Prescriptives also offers a Custom Blend service. Consider it a pampering experience designed to kick your makeup collection into overdrive. Custom Blend identifies your skin's undertone and creates custom shades of foundation, powder, concealer, lip gloss and lipstick designed specifically for you.

The Prescriptives Makeup Collection

At first, the diverse selection of Prescriptives makeup may seem daunting. Closer inspection, though, reveals a collection of colors that is enigmatic and flattering. The following is an overview of the company's face, lip and eye products.

Your Flawless Face

Flawless, indeed. From their groundbreaking Flawless Skin foundation to the lightweight All Skins Powder, Prescriptives' collection of face makeup is filled with award-winning products that promote a healthy, fresh complexion.

Foundation

Even the most picky foundation wearer will likely find something she loves in this group.

• Virtually Fresh: Smooth your skin with this pore-erasing, oil-free foundation. It contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15.
• AnyWear: Wear this powder foundation wet or dry to achieve either a velvety soft or clean matte finish. It contains SPF 12.
• Flawless Skin: Rich, creamy and formulated to protect the skin from damaging environmental elements, this makeup contains SPF 15.
• Traceless: If you prefer an extremely lightweight finish, you'll love the natural, luminous glow Traceless imparts. It contains SPF 8.
• Virtual Matte: Control that shine with this oil-control makeup, which provides medium-to-full coverage and a smooth, satiny finish. It contains SPF 15.
• Virtual Skin: Ultra-light and weightless, this makeup provides a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, but is still relatively sheer. It contains SPF 10.

3. Highlighting

Bronzers
