You totally read my mind! I just saw a gorgeous ad in Cosmo with Christina on the cover. I'm thinking about switching from MAC to Prescriptives foundations. MAC foundations just dont sit right with my skin for some reason. And I despise the fact that I'm an NC or an NW depending on the foundation type. That defeats the whole purpose of the whole NC-NW typing thing IMO. I appreciate the fact that they can actually custom blend a foundation for you. Off to Macy's tomorrow!

Try Shu Uemura, it's a line originally made for Asian ladies.

I went to a Prescriptives counter yesterday and I am in LOVE with them! The way they do their foundation matching is pure genius. I have both red and yellow undertones but they matched me with a red-toned foudation-Fresh Clove in Virtual Matte. Go out and give them a try..it wont hurt and they give you a hefty sample ( at least a weeks worth!) if you're unsure. Please run to your nearest counter!

You really only need to use a small amount and I use a foundation brush to apply. I haven't used Virtual Skin..the SA said Virtual Matte would be best because of my oily skin and it's working out fine so far!

noahlowryfan, a friend went with me and they were kind of hesitant when she asked for two samples (she only left with one)...I think it all depends on the counter you go to and the SA who Colorprints you. The whole point of being Colorprinted is to find a specific color so I can understand why they would only shell out one sample.

yea i understand but doing colorprints on artifical light is not good. it might look good in the store but it won't look good when outside. i went to a Prescriptives counter and got a sample of Flawless Skin. when getting the sample, i might not purchase their foundation. why? because of the jar they put the sample in. it is hard to get the right amount out of it. i overpour some on to my hand.

i am happy with Bobbi Brown because I got two samples of two different colors and their sample is in a tube so it is easier to get the right amount out.

i'm still searching for my HG foundation so i hope my search will end soon.
