I LOVE my double wear foundation. it always looks good regardless of what primer I use. so it is definitely a more medium to full coverage foundation but it can be a bit more natural looking depending on amount used and how applied.
I find if I want really full coverage to use a brush to apply it, a sigma f80 or similar works well.
If I want less coverage I use a beauty blender (my go to), I also find that you can start out with less product and keep building if you want more full coverage.
this foundation is certainly on the matte side, I do not mind this though as I have combo skin, I like to add my shine on after.
I do not find it oxidises on me, it covers the redness on my checks and makes my pores dissappear, and no matter the occassion, it never lets me down.
I do not wear makeup to work everyday so I am unsure If I would use something this heavy as my everyday. but because I do not use it all the time I don't find it too expensive.
It does irritate me that it doesn't come with a foundation pump, but you can buy the MAC foundation pumps and they fit the bottles so while annoying is not a deal breaker.
Definitely my favourite foundation for going out! Don't think I could use any others for night wear after using this. Stays on all night and into the early hours, doesn't smudge or come off on any of your clothes and has really good coverage which I find super important. So many colour options, I have a few different ones to match throughout the seasons and when Ive had a spray tan.
Tips: Make sure you skin is exfoliated and that you use a primer or serum first. Might sound weird but the Estee lauder advanced night repair goes really well under this.
