Finally a foundation that actually stays put!

This foundation has been an absolute godsend. After trialling numerous foundations with “staying power”, this was the only one that did. It stays put at work where I’m enduring extremely hot and cold temperatures. Even if I sweat, or get oily, I can blot the sweat or oil off and the foundation still stays. This will probably be the only foundation I’ll ever use now.

Tips: It goes on better with a sponge beauty blender than a silicon one.

Long lasting

Very long lasting perfect for long working days, it sits on the skin nicely and does not sink into the pores and is great for oily skin, it is applied best with a beauty sponge.

Holy grail foundation!

I have super duper oily skin. I also have acne scars thanks to PCOS, so I'm in need of good coverage. Non of the drugstore foundations last on my skin with both primer and setting spray on and they don't offer good coverage either. Plus almost all of them have neutral or pink undertones. Since I have an olive complexion, I need foundations with yellow undertones or have to do some heavy colour correction all over the face. This product does it all! My colour is cashew in this product and it is a perfect match for my skin tone. You can wear it light with a damp sponge or with a heavy hand give yourself full coverage. I even skip concealer if I go for a heavy coverage with this product. It goes smooth onto the skin and doesn't budge for hours. Since I'm super oily I powder my skin with a stippling brush and use a setting spray to make it last even longer. Oh and by the way, as much as I love its lasting power, it is difficult to remove for the same reason. So I use 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil' which is for waterproof makeup removal to get rid of this foundation followed with a non harsh activated charcoal based cleanser.

Only con I can mention is that it is expensive.

Tips: Apply it with a damp sponge in a blotting motion going round and round. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount of product and build up the coverage as you go.

All time favourite foundation

This foundation has always look flawless on, high coverage which lasts all day or night. Doesn't even feel that heavy for such a good coverage! Never had any issues with flashback in photos either :)

The best foundation

I have been using this for the last 4 years, that's how much love and trust I have for this foundation and I haven't used any other foundation since. I have combination skin which sometimes gets a bit oily on the T zone, but this foundation never wipes off!!! That's how much staying power it has and doesn't make my skin oily. Just like the brand states that it has 15 hours staying power and is flawless, and trust me its does what it says. It was always difficult for me to find the perfect shade for my yellow brown Indian tone skin, and the shade 3W1 is the exact shade, and doesn't oxidize. I have been complimented so many times about how fresh I look even after 12 hours of applying the foundation. So I will definitely say to you ladies out theres is to go for it and become a new devotee of this foundation.

Tips: Apply with a kabuki or stripling foundation brush and apply small amounts (2 drops) and slowly build up as per your requirements.

I love this foundation also. What products do you use to remove at the end of the day?

Best foundation I've tried

I came to try this product after researching full coverage long wear foundations and this product came up again and again. I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. It's great coverage but still looks beautiful and natural. It doesn't look flat or cakey and it doesn't settle into my pores! I have oiky/combo skin prone to cystic acne and enlarged pores, this provided great coverage and stayed a natural velvet finish most of the day (without setting powder or spray). Lasts amazingly when paired with setting powder and spray. So far this is the best foundation I've found for my skin that lasts and provides great coverage without being too heavy.

Best all day and night foundation

I absolutely adore this foundation, it provides a really lovely finish on my skin, and lasts all day and night. I have sensitive skin and have never had any problems and it doesn't cause any break outs on my skin.

Tips: For day wear apply 1 thin layer, for night wear apply an additional layer for that night look.

Really is one of a kind...

I've recently started using this foundation again after a hiatus of a few years and I'm really glad I did!

I have dry skin, so I generally prefer a more hydrating foundation with a dewy-er finish, however my workplace is HOT and I needed something that would survive the heat this summer, so I went back to Doublewear. For a more natural look, but still with great coverage I find 1 layer enough, but is easy to build up for full coverage.

This foundation is very matte, and it lasts forever! I just finished a 9 hour shift and it still looks great, doesn't crack around my nose like most foundations do.

Packaging is a nice glass bottle, however it does not come with a pump (can purchase separately for $15) which is kinda annoying since the price has gone up to $72 as well.

Tips: For dryer skin, I prefer application with a beauty blender after using a nice rich moisturiser.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Very thick long last coverage. Great for hiding pimples, blemishes and scars. I absolutely loved it but it is on the pricey side.

Tips: Moisturize well beforehand as i found it dried my skin out. Make sure you wash it off well after using as I've heard others say it can cause breakouts- personally never happened to me.

Beautiful matte look

After trying multiple brands I have found my holy grail. I have acne scarred skin so I require a matte full coverage foundation. Unfortunately for me I do not like the cake look so a lot of foundations I tried in the past made me look like a porcelain doll with cracks. Then I discovered this foundation. Medium - full coverage which is light and silky. It moves with my skin and doesnt give the cakey look. Once dried putting powder over top is just a breeze and the foundation does what it says - lasts all day!

Tips: Use a beauty blender for perfect coverage
