This foundation does everything it says it does it just wasn't right for me. I have quite dry skin and this unfortunately just did not work for me. If you are slightly dry applying with a beauty blender does help. I would also recommend that you apply your foundation and where possible wait 10 minutes before deciding if you need touch ups. This foundation does need a bit of time to settle in to your skin and if you are too quick to apply another layer you may have wasted product you didn't need to. It's a beautiful finish and l would recommend it but just not for me & my dry skin.

Tips: Apply with beauty blender if you are slightly dry. Apply first layer then wait 10 mins (or as long as you can) to let it settle in before deciding if you need a touch up.
... I've found a foundation that I am really, really please with. I too took advantage of the 10-day trial and after a few days I knew I had found a product that really suited me. The lady at the pharmacy was fantastic, really helpful and patient. I think a good foundation brush is always the best way to apply for good coverage; this goes on easily, lasts all day and doesn't slide off. My favourite blusher looks amazing too. As for cleansing - perfect, easy to take off with my trusted Nivea cleanser. I'm going to bed with a clean face, no residue at all. It is reasonably expensive, however a little goes a long way and my foundation will last a long time. I'm altogether very happy with this and will keep using it.
Tips: Always use a foundation brush!
This foundation is one of my favorites altho it is not for everyone . I love having full coverage so works well for me it is quite a thick heavy foundation but when it drys it is quite light. It stays put quite well compared to cheaper brands. It is worth the price I feel as you don't need as much of this foundation to get the full coverage
Tips: Use a small amount and blend out then build up slowly. Can get cakey fast
Love this foundation. Gives great coverage medium to full. The consistency seems thick and heavy but when applied properly doesn't fell cakey and heavy on your skin. Minor faults I found 1.Removing it at the end of the day is a huge job. I tried many things but what worked the best was coconut oil. 2. Foundation lays on top of any small hair you have making them stand out a little. Regardless awesome foundation!
Tips: Apply with a sponge and it applies alot smoothly and has a much more natural look.
I can't say that i own this personally but i will admit to sneakily 'borrowing' my flatmates every now and then! I first used this when Estee Lauder were advertising their 10-day trial. This foundation stays on ALL day. No lies. You can wear this all day, go to the gym, sweat and it will not budge. Honest. It gives such a flawless complexion and doesn't look cakey if applied right. If only this wasn't so expensive I would be using this every day!
Tips: Don't use too much as there is a fine line before it comes cakey and no one wants that! A little bit goes a long way.
I purchased this when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding. I had read all the reviews and took in account that on the day I would most likely be to busy 'celebrating' to bother with any major touch ups etc. It when on beautifully and I was impressed (although I suspect I was incorrectly colour matched...but that's another story) it had the best coverage of any foundation I've used thus far. It stayed on all night long even through standing around in the heat all day, dancing and even the dreaded 'wine drinkers glow' so there I was congratulating myself on such a good purchase. However when it came time to take it off I had to use makeup remover and cleanser and everything else I had at my disposal. And also I have used it since a few times and found my skin looks a wee bit dry. And I found it gave me the tiniest of breakouts along my forehead.
Tips: Be very wary of colour matching, ask to take a sample away with you first and wear it a few times especially outdoors as it's not a budget friendly foundation and you want to make sure it's perfect before you commit to spending serious $ on it.
My life was completely changed for the better the day I found this foundation.
This foundation is the best I have personally found and I wear it nearly every day (i'm addicted!). It has excellent coverage and stays in place for 8 hours plus... what more can a girl ask for! I use a foundation brush when applying this foundation and have found that I do not need much on my brush in order to cover a large area. The range of colour matches in this brand of foundation is great and means that so many girls can try this out! I have found that I need to apply a moisturizer and primer prior to applying this foundation so it doesn't dry out over the day, however this is a minor for how fantastic the foundation itself is! Go trial it now!
Tips: start small with the amount of foundation you apply, you can always add more and build coverage
This foundation is amazing! You only need a tiny bit and it covers evenly with my real techniques brush (or my fingers if I'm rushing!). It gets rid of my redness and creates a perfect matte finish. Lasts perfectly all day with no touch ups. Only negative is that it doesn't really hide pimples (you need to slather on concealer for that). Totally worth the price and lasts ages!!
Double wear does some things amazingly. It's got a great colour selection, the longevity is amazing, coverage is buildable but pretty full from one coat and its easy to apply. However! If you have dry skin, this will make it soooo much worse. I have dry skin and first tried applying it with a brush. I found that it clung to all my dry patches and coloured them pretty orange. It also makes my peach fuzz stand out from a mile away! Applying it with a wet beauty blender made it a bit better but its still not something i would reccomend if you have dry or combo/dry skin.
I love this foundation. It is very light weight and goes out easily with a brush. Lasts for quite a while but not as long as it says. Only problem is it's price-is very expensive. I'd probably pay $55 for it regularly, not $75.
Tips: Dont use to much.
