Anyone tried Prescriptives custom blend - foundation?

Following on from my thread abouy my DD looking for the "ultimate" foundation, some recommended this.

I've just looked on the web (US site) & it says colour, finish, coverage, everything blended just how you want it!

Sound perfect for her.

Can't find a price.

A review said it was £32, is it?

Anyone used this service?

Anyone know the definate price?

    Bumping this up!

    SOMEONE must have tried it?

    I have tried it, but I can't remember how much I paid, it was over £30.00 and under £40.00. It was quite good, although I now realise that Prescriptives do a ready made foundation in a perfect match for me anyway. (Y/O Vellum)

    If you are in Surrey, try House of Fraser in Guildford, they do it there.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    I bought it about three weeks ago from John Lewis and it was £45. I wouldn't usually pay that much for a foundation, but I thought I'd treat myself to the ultimate foundation with the perfect shade for my skin.

    The assistant sat me down and had a good look at my skin and said she'd mix the right shade for me. I could have a matt or sheer finish, and I chose Sheer. She said she'd put some 'anti-ageing' in it and also something to give it a luminous sheen.

    The foundation is nice, and also a good shade for me. However, I wouldn't buy it again. Prescriptives do so many shades and types of foundation, I could easily have chosen a ready made one as good as that for half the price. I'd been dying to try the custom made one for ages though, so at least I satisfied my curiosity.
