I'm still experimenting, but so far the absolute best foundation I've ever used has been one I bought at the Prescriptives counter at Neiman Marcus at the Dallas Northpark Center just before my wedding day. It was one of those custom-blended foundations that Prescriptives offers, and I was amazed at the result. Even my husband, who normally doesn't like it when I wear foundation (mostly because the ones I've tried had never quite matched and made my face look too "off"), was surprised and pleased at how well it blended into my skin. What was even more impressive was how much time and effort the Prescriptives associate spent on ensuring that he had <i>the</i> perfect match. I think I spent an hour in his chair, and we went outside at least 4 times to check my face in natural light after each test. Plus, he was just super-nice and friendly, without being pushy. When he was finally satisfied with the result, he made notes on the computer so that I could easily purchase the same shade the next time I came into the store. Overall, I would say it was probably the best department-store makeup counter experience I've ever had. It was definitely not cheap -- I think I paid $50 each for foundation and powder, and I heard the prices have increased a bit since then -- but well worth the time and money considering how much of both I've wasted over the years trying to find the right shade elsewhere.
