Prescriptives just debuted their menswear-inspired fall lineup. The Curator, sadly, is disappointed. It's a great idea but poorly executed. With all the cool patterns they could have done on the packaging, they chose to go with a rather bland design which I'm assuming is supposed to be reminiscent of the strand of pearls pictured in the ad. Why not a herringbone pattern on the powder? Or maybe use tweed? (I'm remembering Stila's tweed-covered palettes from a few seasons back.) At the very least they could have incorporated a pinstripe on the packaging or actual makeup rather than just in the ad. I was hoping that the Rose blushes from this past spring would lead to more interesting designs, but unfortunately Prescriptives isn't quite up to the challenge just yet.
