Sue had the Custom Blender come over so they could take a look at my skin and determine what my Colorprint was. They also looked at the inside of my wrist. While my concealer, foundation and powder were being formulated, Sue applied Prescriptives Super Line Preventor (awesome stuff–review to come) to my face, followed by their Anti-AGE Advanced Protection Lotion.

By then my customized makeup was ready, but when Sue opened the bottle of foundation, my mouth dropped a little. I was confused and told her that it seemed really pink–since I have so much red in my skin, I was nervous that this would bring it out even more. Sue explained to me that my skin had red and blue undertones, so they add red and blue to the formulation of the foundation. Since the foundation will now match my skin tone, it won’t actually appear redder or blotchy looking, but will appear more even-toned…and she was right.

For those with Rosacea, I did ask if this was appropriate for you. I was told that most people with Rosacea do need a red/blue based foundation and not the typical yellow/green that is widely sold in stores. This would help explain why I looked so weird when I’ve tried yellow and green concealers in the past.

The concealer was fabulous at covering up my unforgiveable acne (which I can’t believe I still get at 33!) and although the powder looked super pale, it was translucent and was very fine in texture.

The most amazing thing to me wasn’t just how light and airly this makeup felt on, but how soft my skin felt when I took off my makeup that night! I credit that to the Super Line Protectant and Anti-AGE.

A big thanks to Sue, Laura and the rest of the gals at Prescriptives for making me feel special and helping me to look great.

Readers, please keep in mind when commenting that 1. I was having a super bad hair day and 2. the flash on my camera makes me look paler than I am.

Stay tuned to reviews of the lip products and skin products used in this little makeover.

I’ll be having a Custom Blend done on Saturday the 10th at 1pm. If you are a reader who lives in and around the Whitehall/Allentown area, I’d love for you to stop by and watch the Prescriptives team work their magic on me. Or better yet, call the Prescriptives counter in Macy’s and schedule an appointment for yourself. Why not treat yourself to finally finding the perfect shade of makeup?

Will I see you there? Post a comment and let me know!
