THIS IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FOR $42.00 + S&H FROM PRESCRIPTIVES.COM. I have never used this product before but noticed a lot of women complaining this was discontinued. Although Prescriptives is no longer available at the dept stores but is available online still. They had so many complaints from loyal happy customers that they decided to continue to offer their products online. I know this because I have used the Prescriptives Vibrant Moisturizer for several years & was highly upset when they discontinued it. But I can still get that as well although after 6-7 of continued usage Ive noticed Im not quite as happy with the results as I used to be so Im currently experimenting with some new face products & moisturizers. GOOD LUCK http://www.prescriptives.com/product/7580/14936/Shop/Makeup/See-All/Flawless-Skin-Total-Protection-Makeup-SPF-15/index.tmpl

This is still available online! Prescriptives.com. I have been looking for a replacement for my favorite teinte idole from Lancôme and this is wonderful! My skin has even become clearer using this! I use the second lightest shade cream 02. Beautiful color match and great wear too!

Wonderful product.
Great colormatch, good slip to apply, no rush.
Good, yet natural, coverage. Sunscreen and nutritents...
And it lasts.
It feels good going on, little oily breakthru halfway thru the day.
and just feels good.

So why the heck was this discontinued?

WHY WAS THIS PRODUCT DISCONTINUED!?
Now that I have vented my frustration, I must say that this was my HG foundation. It was a great consistency, stayed on all day and kept my skin beautiful and healthy looking. It is so hard to find a foundation that is both oil free and gives full coverage, but this was the one!

This foundation never broke my skin out, which is fantastic for me. I could even sleep in it and not break out the next day - never before seen!
My search for a foundation as good as this one continues...

Love this foundation, sad they are going out of business. Load up online until it is gone! Great medium/full coverage, nice finish. Not to matte and a little dewy. Really love the color match to my skin, best match I have ever had.

This is a wonderful foundation for medium to full coverage. It covered up my acne scars and made me look "flawless" :) My mom bought it for me as a gift but got the wrong color . Unfortunately Czech Republic does not carry Prescriptives makeup ( shame really) SO I am stuck with it. I figured I can use it during the summer when I get a bit more tan :) This product doesnt come with a pump, so you must be careful. Its easy to pour too much out. overall I would by it again if I had a chance. :D

I am disapppointed with this foundation,cost a lot ($82) and let me down.
It applies easily and looks good with pretty good coverage at first, but within 2 hours or less my face becomes an oily horror show, with the foundation settled into pores and scars but the higher parts of my skin bare and oily where it has simply slid off. Terribly embarrassing.
I will not repurchase.

My favorite foundation ever! The only beauty company I've found that created more than one pale, ivory, casper-like skin tone foundation. Great coverage, long-wear, doesn't feel like I'm wearing a mask. Couldn't say enough great things about this foundation or product line, I'm so sad it's gone under.

My choice #17 in Petal for red undertones.

I wish that this product was still available. I love the colour match for my skin, I love that it builds nicely yet can still look great applied lightly. It lasts all day. If only it were still being made...

I have combination sensitive skin with plenty of red patches and uneven colour throughout. Usually it's a nightmare to match a foundation to my skin which is light to medium with olive undertone. 95% of all foundations are either too pink or too yellow for me, including MAC, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique, etc. Prescriptives Flawless Skin SPF15 in colour Champagne has been my HG foundation for the last half a year. It blends like a dream (I apply with Napoleon g18 flat foundation brush, light hand). Sets into medium coverage satin finish that looks like healthy skin without makeup while minimizing the appearance of an occasional zit. Stays on the whole day. Does not set into fine lines. Since I'm always running late and never have the time to use concealer, or powder, or eyeshadow primer, or sometimes even moisturizer/primer/sunscreen, I don't think I ever looked at myself in the mirror (with FS on) half way through the day and thought "Oh my, I should have used concealer/powder/etc. today". Hubby keeps raving about "the glow". I notice passers-by not being able to take eyes off my face when I wear FS. What else could a woman wish for. I am really astonished to see so many bad reviews here. The only flaw, I reckon, is absence of a pump which reduces the life of the foundation. But I definitely will be repurchasing as long as I can find it.

I use Ginger (Y/O). I like this product, it stays on pretty well, feels nice on my skin, goes on smoothly. Can't really say anything bad about it. It says medium to full coverage but it's pretty sheer. Also, it's ok at controlling oil, so if you're very oily, this probably isn't for you.

i love this foundation and just fyi, as of Jan 2010 the whole entire prescriptives line is going away!! So stock up on your stuff. An unopened bottle of foundation will last you 5 years and an opened bottle lasts about 2years, good luck!!!!

This foundation is OK - I still finished the bottle. The colour was fine if I used it with a completely translucent powder, otherwise I turned orange! Was moisturising, but didn't stay long on my face - won't buy again

I wasn't totally convinced when I bought this but I wanted a new foundation with SPF and that gave me a 'flawless' look. After using it for nearly 2 years I can confidently say this is a quality product. It covers redness around my nose and a few spider veins on my cheek, evens out my skin tone but is not heavy enough to cover my darker freckles (which is fine by me). It also works quite well on my 'normal' dark circles but isn't enough with heavy dark circles. I always apply this with a foundation brush, it just looks much better than when I use my fingers. It never feels heavy and I agree that a little goes a long way.

To be fair there are some cons - it does get into the creases around my nose during periods when my skin is dry (winter) but I haven't found a foundation that doesn't do this. And if I use much during really humid days it doesn't hold up well, but again I have always found this problematic with liquid foundations.

But overall I think this is a great product.

EDIT: Ok...so...my skin has changed. Who would have thought right? =) Well this really doesn't do much for my skin anymore. It didn't look like I had done anything to my face...and this is with a primer. So if it doesn't cover anything to begin with, its definately not long wearing. Sorry Px.
Let me start by saying....PRESCRIPTIVES!!! PUT PUMPS ON YOUR BOTTLES! Or atleast have it available for purchase. Ok..on to the actual review. This ranks on up there with my love of Px VS foundation. Airy light feel, excellent cover, and good wear. Adding a primer makes all those aspects even better. Makes you look polished and refined and covers my flaws without being cakey or heavy.

I have mixed feelings about this foundation. Like other reviewers have mentioned, I find it drying. My skin is flake-free in the morning, and by the mid-afternoon - flakes. When I discontinue use, the flakes seem to stop. That being said, I do not find it falling into lines and pores to the degree that other foundations do. The colour (Camelia) is excellent on my fair, hard-to-match skin and the coverage is exceptional (one pass with this makeup hides a lot, without spending time layering, especially with the use of my Paula's Choice super antioxidant serum as a primer). To look believable, this make-up requires a very detailed application, with a good quality sponge or brush, in natural light - something I don't have the time (or patience) for every morning. For a fraction of the price, L'oreal True Match or Almay Nearly Naked provide a natural look with easier application (though with the latter more layering is needed to get decent coverage). Not a buy-again, unfortunately.

I decided to branch out trying different type of Prescriptive liquid foundations to see how they are. I'm so glad I tried this one. I noticed that the coverage was different and I didn't even bother using a concealer on certain areas on my face. I just used the foundation as is, without concealer or any loose powder afterward. Later putting my blush & some eye makeup & lip color and that's it! That same morning my co-worker came up to me and asked if I had changed my makeup. She noticed something was very different. She complimented of how great it looked on me. The color and the smoothness of the coverage. It was a "perfect" blend of foundation & powder. My entire face had a very different look & that it made my face look great. Now I know why this foundation is called "flawless".

I'm very pale (I get cream 02) and have redness as well as a plethora of freckles that I want to cover, so I needed a foundation that had buildable coverage but wouldn't look cakey OR, in terms of color, orange. This stuff is perfect. I use my fingers to blend it in and build it to a full coverage (I let 1 layer dry before going to the next one & do 3 light layers), and it looks great. I get comments weekly about my "flawless" (ha) and "doll-like" skin. People seriously can not believe I have freckles or blotchy skin underneath. I do not even need a concealer. Heaven!
Since I wear this as full coverage and have to remove and re-apply it a min. of twice daily (not for lack of staying power, it def. will last you all day and night) a bottle will only last me roughly 4 months, which makes the price alright (43 a bottle with taxes here) but for people who only apply it once daily for light to med. coverage, like my sister, should get close to a year out of one bottle, which is even better.
