All shades, all types.

Complementing skin tones from palest ivory to deepest ebony, Prescriptives has acquired almost iconic status among foundation-followers. We sent Jackie along to Selfridges to try it out: 'It’s shamefully expensive but worth its weight in gold for its ability to transform a dull, blotchy complexion into a glowingly flawless one. You can specify your preferred coverage, finish and any specific skin needs such as moisturising, oil-control, firming or brightening. I love it. I've already binned my old foundation and am saving up for the custom blended powder and concealer!'
