Ok so i was a little scared to try this foundation as my skin is dry in places and oily in others and with all the mixed reviews it was a scary experience. I went to my local farmers where i was matched to the the shade ivory nude, the lady at the counter wasn't the Estee Lauder lady she was just covering. When she matched me she used her fingers to apply the foundation and it matched but when i got home to my surprise she had left it patchy and streaky, and when i tried to fix it the foundation would not budge ! Like it was concrete ! After i managed to get the foundation off i moisturized, then applied the foundation with my flat top kabuki brush (evenly this time) it gave AMAZING coverage and was flawless. I went out that night and i slept with my makeup on (opps) in the morning the foundation was still exactly the same as it was when i applied it (wasnt patchy or anything), i was amazed ! I love this foundation, even though it is a bit on the pricey side i will repurchase !

Tips: Moisturizer under this foundation is a must as it sets and is kind of drying.
Love this foundation, I have combination oily skin and find that a lot of foundations get very oily by the end of the day. Double wear always lasts the entire day staying flawless. Its light and an amazing coverage without being cakey
This foundation makes my skin flawless!
It has amazing coverage and does not budge all day. I can go for a nap in it and wake up and my makeup will still be perfect!
It is light weight on the skin, and easy to apply. Easily to blend also. It is fantastic.
When I first started using this foundation I loved it for its staying power..it REALLY stays on but after a while I started to feel that my skin just couldnt breathe during the day lol..sometimes it was a bit cakey, especially if I was dehydrated...all in all though I do use it for its staying power and great matching shade....
Tips: I always make sureI use a good serum and moisturiser beforehand, and take it off with the estee lauder cleanser that goes with it...
My sister gave me a half used bottle of this as she was chnaging shades for the season. Oh, amd I glad she did that. This foundation is amazing. Goes on really easily and blends well. The coverage is excellent so I don't need to go back and reapply over any areas. It stays on all day and looks just as fresh when I get home in the evenings as when I left in the mornings. It even stays put through my gym sessions! I am a true addict now and definitely recommend giving this a go!
Tips: Fresco blends to most skin shades.
I actually got this product in a tester pot first and purchased shortly after. First day I was wearing it I received compliments on how 'perfect' my skin looked. I didn't think much of it because I only wear make-up on occasion. But every single time I wore this I got great results - and people noticed.
I was colour matched in Lambton Quay Farmers and they got the colour match perfect. It goes on nice and light, but can be built up under the eyes if you're like me and have dark circles. It provides a perfect everyday coverage and all I need to do is a finishing powder or blush. Some days I go without this and it still looks great. I keep the coverage relatively light but it still does a fantastic job.
The coverage lasts all day. It still looked great 16 hours later! Which is amazing. I didn't find I got oily patches and the colour definitely withstood a full day of wear. I have already recommended this to a friend! My new favourite foundation.
Love it! I went in store to sample this but ended up buying it :) I have this in 2W2 Rattan. My skin type is oily/combination.
It is about medium coverage and applies to a velvety texture - it feels very light weight . For those with dry skin type, the SA suggested you mix the foundation with a serum type moisturizer (she did this with me as I was a tad dry that day)
The lasting power of this is awesome, I find i'm not as oily (not expecting a miracle) part way through the day and the foundation hasn't "broken down" to a complete mess after a days wear. One thing i do recommend is pairing this foundation with Estee Lauder Illuminating primer (seriously this is the best primer I have come across - check it out). I believe this primer helps with the staying power and also because it is illuminating it helps with this foundation as it may look quite flat/dull.
Remove with cleansing oil/makeup remover, follow up with your regular facial cleanser to prevent clogging of pores/break outs.
I havent purchased full bottle of this product yet (broke student) but I have definately gone through my fair share of tester pottles. I have normal to dry skin so this foundation isnt exactly meant to do what it does on my skin but as far as coverage and buildibility it is top notch. 10/10 will definately forever purchase
I found out about the 10 day trial for this from a Forum here on BR and popped in to the local Farmers to see if it was true. The lady who served me was amazingly helpful and instantly matched me with the lightest shade, Ivory Nude. Not expecting much as I've never actually found a colour that matches my skin, I was very pleasantly surprised to not be able to tell I was wearing it except my skin looked flawless. I have very dry skin and was warned about this product but so far I have no complaints, I have no problem slapping on a bit more moisturiser every morning. Will definitely be purchasing this product, feels amazing, lasts, and doesn't smell terrible. It is also very light weight.
Tips: People with dry skin may need a bit more moisturiser under this foundation.
the most amazing foundation i have ever tried! felt like i was not wearing any foundation! gave me airbrushed skin but for everyday i would wear the double wear light simply because i dont like a heavy coverage for day time:)
Tips: use a buffing brush and work quickly make sure skin is hydrated but not greasy!
