THE BEST FOUNDATION. EVER.

I cannot rave enough about this foundation and recommend it to everyone! Great coverage, great colours and great lasting power! I wore double wear while at a wedding in Rarotonga and my foundation stayed beautiful all day!

Tips: Go get colour matched at Farmers or Unichem and you can get a 10 day trial.

You will never use another!

This foundation IS on the costly side, but, there's a reason for it. Perfect coverage, SPF included, no surprise colours at the end of the day. I can't thank Estee enough for creating this fabulous product. Honestly...invest!

Tips: A light bronzer (using a kaiuku brush) polishes off the already flawless look perfectly!

Absolutely Perfect!

I have a fair bit of acne on my face, but not to a point where it's severe. I find most foundations and BB creams leave those weird circle crust things around some of my zits, but not this foundation! It covered everything, and had a flawless finish. Very pricey, so I'm not sure I could afford using this regularly, but I would recommend this as a true cosmetic investment. Definitely a "special occasion" foundation.

Tips: Make sure to set this foundation with a good powder, as I find it has a very shiny finish for me, as I have combination skin. It has a thick coverage, so it's important to blend very well also. I would recommend using brushes or any relevant tools to apply this.

Accentuates dry patches on face

I have dry/ oily combination skin. I tried this foundation during the autumn/winter months, when my skin was more on the drier end. I found that this foundation accentuates the dry patches on my face. I have primed , moisturised and have tried to apply with beauty blender, buffing brush, stippling brush still with the same result. Its not a bad foundation , its just not for me. I also don't like the smell of it. This foundation however is long lasting, water and sweat-proof. Medium-Full coverage and is buildable.

Tips: Probably would suit combination to oily skin types.

Just finished my review then read yours - I had the same issues. If you haven't tried Mac Studio Fix, give that a go. I'm loving it!

Flawless!

Amazing foundation, great coverage, natural looking and long lasting, everything you need in a foundation! It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. And you can normally get a free sample at Farmers

Tips: Make sure you get your perfect colour match, it's too expensive to get the wrong shade :P

Great foundation but...

This foundation is excellent for a flawless face if you are looking for a full coverage. It literally stays in place all day no matter how oily your skin is. However I have stopped using this foundation as it became too light for my skin over the warmer months, I would have to purchase two shades one for winter and one for summer. Colour matching for olive skin with yellow undertones can be quite tricky.

Not for me.

I've been trailing different foundations over the last few months, and this was second on the list. Recommended to me from numerous people, and I'd read that the foundation that I was using is a dupe for this one.

Hated it! It didn't blend into my skin very well, and I tried numerous different application techniques (fingers, brush, sponge) but to no avail. It looked chalky, clung to any dry spots I had and sat in my creases. I'm almost pleased that I didn't like it though, because at over $80 a bottle it's the most expensive on the list of foundations I'm trying! The colour matched most of my face….except my nose. Never had such an issue before!

My little sister (23) and mum love it though. I'd definitely recommend going in and getting a 10 day sample before investing in a full bottle!

Love it so much i brought in bulk!

I LOVE this foundation its so amazing! Gives flawless coverage and stays on for hours. I suffer fro the horrid 'shiny nose' lol after a couple hours my nose is shining. This foundation holds it off for an extra couple of hours i only have to touch up once a day i love it.

Tips: Dont dot it over your face then blend as it dries super fast. Apply as you go

Good but expensive

Good selection of shades, doesn't oxidise, stays matte all day, good coverage. In other words- does everything you want a foundation to do. The only issues I have with it are 1) if you don't adequately moisturise, or have particuarly dry skin, this foundation will CLING to dry patches like no other 2) $$$$$$. Be prepared to part with a good $80-$90 for this bad boy. Do I think its probably one of the best longwearing foundations out there? Yes. Do I think it's worth nearly double the amount of money as, say, Revlon Colorstay? No.

Tips: Prime prime prime prime moisturise moisturise moisturise. Avoid flash photography.
