Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup SPF15

[elektra513]

My counter doesn't get this in until July, but here's the link: Prescriptives | Makeup | Face | Foundation | All Skins Mineral Makeup SPF 15

Anyone had a chance to sneak peek this? After my horrible run ins w/BE, I really hope Px gets it right for me.

I stopped by the counter and they had it in stock already

I bought the Warm Medium (Level 4) looks like a perfect match so far...Although I could wear the shade up from this too, but I'll wait to buy it when it cools down.

I'll be testing it out for a few weeks and then I'll check back to give my review...

Hi

Have you managed to try this? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Yeah, I've been wearing this every day except for one day since I bought it. I really like it

This is my first mmu that I've purchased that I didn't need to return immediately (after seeing the skin in different lighting). It matches my skin very well, and even though it contains that bismuth oxychloride (which surprised me) it doesn't burn or itch, and I live in humid-ass Georgia with sensitive, easily inflamed skin so that's saying a lot, lol. I notice that my skin is getting less oily, I guess because it's not having to overcompensate for anything...My only concern (which is not the makeup's fault) is that in this weather my regular sunscreen (or my moisturizer w/SPF) causes me to have an "oil-slick" appearance after a while despite the fact that I don't have very oily skin at all, but a little blot powder and I'm fine. This mmu is long lasting, and I've slept in it a couple of nights and woke up looking great (well, considering...hehe). And I've also worn it a few days each week with MAC Prep + Prime face underneath and that's also been a good experience. The other day I tried applying blot powder first, then the mmu, then blot powder again, and noticed I did not have as much mid-day shine as on the other days...something to keep in mind. I would like to try it with Mineral Veil also to see if there is any difference between that and Blot Powder.

So basically I love Px and I love this mmu. I will be getting some Alima samples to compare later on (as soon as I can find a color to match me

), but I will continue using this every day. That one day I wore liquid foundation, I couldn't wait to get home to wipe it off. Px gives a medium coverage so it's been good for what I need it for.

Oh, yeah, I use the MAC 182 to apply it, and that makes it super quick and easy.

HTH someone

Thanks for this - what a great review! I am the same shade as you! I may go and try this out. Have you tried their brush?

I got to use the Px brush when the SA let me apply the foundation on one side of my face after she did the first side. It was very soft, and gets the job done but my MAC 182 blows it out of the water. I think if I hadn't have just bought it a few weeks prior I would have purchased theirs (esp. due to the $17 discounted price).

PX has some of the best foundations out there. My mom is the hardest person in the world to match but they were able to. When I go back to wearing foundation (instead of tinted moisturizer), I want to try this one.
