The End of an Era - Prescriptives is Going Out of Business
Topic: Foundations

 

Well, it's official - one of the best foundation and skincare lines commercially available is closing its doors in January.  Prescriptives has, by far, the best powder AND liquid foundations for sensitive skins.  It has been one of the few companies I could recommend to pretty much everyone and know that they'd not have bad reactions.  There have been whisperings of its demise for awhile now and I have to blame it all on marketing.  Prescriptives is not a cute line (like Clinique) or a popular, edgy line (like MAC) and its not particularly sexy (like Nars), instead, its products come in plain grey containers and its marketing is stuck in the 50s.  Still, it was (and is) a good, solid line.

So, I'm ordering today - I'm ordering a ton of their Flawless Skin and Anywhere Foundations for personal use and for my kit.  I'm ordering their mascara, also among the best and I'm going to ask them to do one more custom blended gloss - just for old times sake.

YepAnotherOne - In AnyWear Powder Foundation,  I'm Antelope in the winter and Ginger in the Summer.  When the Ginger starts to run dark in the fall, I have to apply it with a wet sponge.

Wow---I sure hope the big Whigs up in Estee Lauder know what they are doing.. thats ok..All the new business will go directly to Lancome.. Wherem their foundations are very similar to those of Prescriptives...Hail Hail Lancome and enjoy all the dollars you will get very soon. People are not stupid and if they think they are gonna go running to MAC, Bobbi Brown or Estee it self...They have lost their minds....Good Luck Estee Lauder...
