Designer Brands Longwear 24 Hour Foundation Review

This foundation was the first one I purchased as a teenager. It was amazing on my skin, and it is super affordable but also gives full coverage and doesn't look cakey on the skin!

Caked into lines was patchy and aged me 1000 years. I think it was just just too heavy for me . As most long wear foundation tends to be.

Designer Brands in general is a great brand on a budget! I bought this foundation on a whim for under $20 and was quite impressed for the price. It comes in a great range of shades; even pale enough for my pale skin! I bought the porcelain ivory shade and it was a pretty good match for my skin tone, almost on par with my Mac and Estee Lauder foundations for skin matching.

The foundation itself is not overly heavy - it allows you to build up the coverage. It lasted most of the day for me but did start drying out towards the end of the day. It is not strongly scented and I had no reaction with my sensitive skin. It really is a good foundation if you are on a budget or a newbie starting out with makeup (I actually passed mine on to a friend just starting to wear makeup).

Would I buy again? Probably not, but just because I have found a foundation that gives better coverage and does not dry out on my skin throughout the day. However, I would still recommend this for anyone on a budget or starting out.

first off, the price! so affordable. i bought it because Sally Jo said it performed similar to estee lauder double wear. i used this foundation for my wedding. i wear it to work. you can build it up where you need coverage. you can keep it light by applying less and blending more. it doesn't have a wide range of shades, so thankfully i was able to match one...'true beige'. ll in all, i have nothing bad to say about it. so go out and try it!

I have the lightest shade in porcelain ivory. The shade itself is great because its not too pinky which very light shades usually are.

The foundation is quite thick in consistency and does feel quite thick on the face so I don't agree with the claim that it doesn't feel heavy. I wouldn't wear it everyday because of this but I do think it's a great affordable option for special occasions.

Apart from it being a little bit heavy on me, I can't really fault this product. For the price, I do think it's one of the best on the market especially for people who want to use cruelty free or vegan products.

I apply it with a damp beauty sponge. I have also tried it with my fingers but I think a sponge or brush would be best for even coverage.

I love this as it lasts as long as it says and doesn't break the bank. I struggled to find a supplier last time but since then my local pharmacy has decided to stock it. Easy to apply with a sponge with great coverage. I love the applicator bottle as it dispenses just the right amount, better than those frustrating glass ones where you have to try and shake the contents out and then they end up all over the carpet or down the front of your outfit. Has a good range of colours to choose from so I can find my colour in winter and summer. Great product for the money.

Having tried many foundations over the years I was intrigued to try this with all it's boasting. Unfortunately I was deeply disappointed. No matter how I applied it, it was streaky. Within a couple of hours of application it was patchy. The only thing I liked was the colour.
