In preparation for my wedding, my makeup artist told me to go to a Prescriptives counter and have them custom blend a medium coverage foundation for me. This type of coverage helps to prevent shine and hides flaws, redness and blemishes.
I'm not going to lie, custom blending is a bit costly, however, as your skin lightens or darkens with the seasons, Prescriptives will adjust the color for you at no extra charge.
The problem is that I got married a year and a half ago and I've still got this foundation lying around. I know that it's time to scrap it, but I just can't seem to find one that I like quite as much. Can you help me find a new foundation with the following criteria:
- It leaves my skin looking flawless and it's not too heavy.
- It looks very natural on and doesn't clog my pores.
- My skin won't look shiny or greasy when I wear it.

bunch of marketing bologna
1mine are coming up!
2What's marketing baloney? Foundation? Prescriptives? Colormatching?
Anywho...I put mine up!
3Even though I've never really worn a medium coverage foundation, I put one up that I have heard really great reviews about
4So why don't you like the Perscriptives stuff? And I too am curious about the bologna...

6Tanning is not a skin color, Brian, its a lifestyle.
I put mine up! With an upcoming wedding, I've been trying to find a foundation with all the same qualities. My skin is incredibly fickle though and I hate the feel of wearing heavy make-up.
I highly recommend using a mattifier to help keep shine down. My personal favorites are the Mary Kay mattifier and Smashbox's Photo Finish. You just rub some into your hands and pat it on. Finish with your make-up and you're good to go! If I get a little oily during the day, I pat a bit more of the mattifier on.
7I'm having to agree with Steen, my skin is extremely sensitive. I use Clinique and Lancome. I'll have to find them and post them though.
