Really frustrated now that Prescriptives has been gone for a while… I have tried everything from high end to low… nothing replaces it. I had used Px for 15 years; it was the best mineral foundation to cover my YR complexion— Estee Lauder’s mineral foundations do not cover anything and leave my skin dry… Px never did that. I miss their color line; their eyeshadows went on smooth and stayed on… I loved their selection; their intensive lip balm was the best at hydrating; They had a mild cleanser which was perfect for my sensitive, dry skin and I loved their “Flight Mist” for hydrating during the day; their toner was great; mascara went on great, didn’t bother my eyes…okay you get the point… I loved everything about this line, and I have not found anything as far as moisturizer or color line or anything… I have spent so much time and money trying to replace. I have given up on even wearing makeup most days until I can find something.

I have worked for them all!!! I know this line was the best , I was trained by them all and this line was the one that had a method of color testing that put the other cosmetic lines to shame.

This is so sad,
I live in Israel now and have 5 daughters who are growing up and i want to buy them Perscritives and can’t , The website has no secure setting for credit purchase . I’m so devistated by the lack of this product .

Not to mention that i’m a makeup artist and before i’d work i’d always “color print my client, even here in Israel before a brides wedding i’d run a test on her color to get an exact match to her foundation and i always had a happy bride!!!

I will be very sad without perscriptives!

I really miss the foundations. I have a blue red complexion and most other foundations are way too yellow or orange for my skin. I wish they would remarker the foundations with a less medicinal packaging and make them just a little less expensive. We’re in a severe economic downturn. My favorite all time foundation was all skins make up 1 in rose porcelain. Prescriptives was a jumping’ line but they lost their focus for a while. They tried to imitate Mac, which didn’t work. Their skin care was mediocre and overpriced, but their makeup was special for a professional natural look. I can’t find anything comparable. I hope one of the other Lauder lines brings back the color line of makeup. I remember when the line was known as Lauder PRESCRIPTIVES

I’m devastated by the loss of the Prescriptives line. I’ve used them since I was in college. I didn’t find out in time to get my custom blend formula, so I’m completely out of luck having it recreated. If EL wanted to eliminate the line, they should have provided suitable alternatives for their customers. I’m an extremely pale BR. Nothing else works for me. I tried MAC’s closest shade, but it’s a horrible peachy color on my pale camellia skin. Why can’t someone produce another line like Prescriptives? The online site is not very helpful at all. They have extremely little product knowledge. You’ll need a supervisor to get anywhere if you have questions. Once my custom blend powder runs out, I’m not sure what to do. The formulas were kept so secret and dumped so quickly by the department stores that most of us are in the same boat. I hate EL for leaving me without an alternative product line.

I just purchased some product online, and got a gift w/purchase and free shipping. It looks like you can still buy Prescriptives online, so keep shopping so they keep it around longer. If you haven’t already, try the eyeliner with the stay-sharp tip. It almost never smudges at all.
