Amazing

My go to foundation. When I was introduced to this I threw my other foundations out and haven't looked back since. The consistency it light and silky. The coverage is amazing and build-able. It's long lasting so your not looking drab by the end of the night nor do you need to carry powder with you to touch up. The price is expensive but it's lasts me around 6 months so it's worth it in my opinion.

Tips: Used with a light powder to help it sets gives it a longer lasting effect.

Holy Grail!!!

This foundation is a miracle worker in so many ways. It lasts me 18 hours at least and the amount of compliments ive received when wearing this is a new record. It covers everything and i mean everything. I only just finished my bottle this morning which has lasted me well over 3 months which is so great and value for what its worth.

Look no further

Double wear has got to be the most impressive foundation I have ever used... and I seriously mean that. It covers up everything and lasts and lasts. Some nights I have fallen asleep without washing my makeup off and have woken up with the same coverage as the day before! I usually wear this foundation if I am heading out for the night or somewhere fancy because I think it's that special.

Tips: Make sure you get the right colour match to your skin tone, because a slightly darker or lighter colour can look quite bad! I would also recommend that you take a little more time than usual to put it on - don't rush or it may look quite cakey.

Also, the best advise I was ever given when it comes to putting foundation on with your fingers is to dab and not rub!

LOVE of my life

this foundation has become a holy grail product for me. i have rather oily skin and have trouble with my foundation slipping everywhere during the day.

i got this from farmers and it is seriously amazing. it really does last ALL day and night. it just looks so impeccable and flawless on the skin. you only need a tiny amount and it goes a long way!

the color match is just beautiful also. the only thing is i wish it came with a pump. it would make life so much easier although ive heard the mac one fits :) overall totally love this foundation.

I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with dry,sensitive or acne prone skin. it can be drying and its so long lasting that it sinks into your pores.

will definitely be re-purchasing this!

Tips: be sure to wash this off your skin every night THOROUGHLY. its such a heavy duty makeup that it likes to sink into your skin. i personally take as much off with makeup remover then use my daily facial scrub. this also prevents those dreaded break outs. also once you know your color you can buy it for $55 from strawberrynet.com. such a bargain :)

Great review. I have the same skin type and have just been colour matched for the double wear, still on the fence about it. And love the tip about buying it off strawberry.net ! Much cheaper :)

Foundation

This is one of my favourite foundations, I enjoy the longevity of it, it lasts all day for me and looks the same as when I apply it in the morning come the end of the day

Fantastically Fabulous Foundation

I don’t know what I did before I had this foundation! 15 hour staying power truly is no exaggeration of the truth. This is a very thick substance so it does feel quite heavy on the skin but if it is a flawless and long lasting complexion that you are after then you need this foundation in your life! Love love.

Tips: Be sure to remove properly – because this product is so heavy, this normally takes a cleansing wipe followed by your usual make up removal routine – so face wipe, face wash, toner, moisturiser.

Estée Lauder dw

I find that this foundation dries out my skin a lot. When I first started wearing the foundation i woke up the next morning with little red bumps on my chin even after cleaning my face and removing the foundation before I went to bed. It seems to stay on my face however I found myself having to reapply on my nose as it made it oily there (something I don't usually have to do) this foundation seems to work well for most people so it may just be my skin type.

excellent coverage

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

Lives up to it's Hype

This foundation seemed to have everyone raving about it so I thought I'd give it a go - I was not at all disappointed! The coverage was what it was made out to be which is medium to full coverage. Because of the expected coverage I was thinking that the liquid itself would be extremely thick but it was surprisingly not. Definitely an easily build-able product that feels surprisingly light on the skin.

I tend to use this foundation only when going out at night as I feel more comfortable with a lighter coverage during the say. It is most definitely long wearing which makes me question what's in it that makes it so durable haha. Other than that, I feel it is worth every drop for the price you pay - some may argue that its too expensive but I only wear it on weekends so probably go through less than others.

Flawless Skin

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.
