I got a sample of double wear a while ago and have found the little bottle has given me heaps of uses, which is great! The colour I was matched to matches my skin tone perfectly and although the foundation is a little thinner than what I'm used to it provides great coverage and I can easily get away without concealer when I'm wearing this. I've tested this out over 8 hours of rain, wind, sweat and tears on the tongariro crossing and an 8 hour sailing trip- to emerge looking just as flawless. So I can say its staying power is great. Despite the comments that it is really hard to take off, I didn't seem to have any trouble with my usual Cetaphil cleanser and Lush Toner. As it is quite pricey I think this will be more of a special occasion foundation rather than an everyday one. I really like it and can def see me buying a bottle when I run out for such occasions

Tips: As this is quite a drying foundation I would reccomend using a rich moisturiser underneath to help prevent it from drying out your skin too much
Full coverage and long lasting and beautiful finish.I am very impressed. This is one of my favourite foundations. I would recommend this
This foundation is amazing! I dont usually go for high coverage on a daily basis but i love wearing this foundation when im going out to town. The coverage makes my skin look flawless and it last on my skin all night and doesnt slip off at all. The price is a bit steep but as good as this foundation is its worth every cent
Tips: Always remove thorougly before bed
My new go to foundation, I have finally said goodbye to Revlon Colourstay which I have worn for around 10+ years. I now feel like I'm a grownup and its boosted my confidence to no end. It's so beautiful to work with and great coverage! The Estée lady that I was dealing with gave me five sample colours to take home and try so I could get the correct colour. I seen her over three weeks and she was the peak of customer service which is the second reason why this brand is my new favourite X
Tips: This has great coverage so start with a little and build up.
This foundation will last on your skin all day long and still look absolutely flawless! It can look quite cakey so it may be best to use a hydrating primer underneath if you do have dry skin! other than that it works great for my oily skin and stays flawless all day long! doesnt get oily at all and all products that you put on top stay pigmented all day long too!
Tips: Dont apply too much as it can be quite thick! get a sample of your potential colour as it is so pigmented it can be quite hard to find your colour match.
This foundation is about as good as it gets for a really full coverage, long wearing and huge colour range! The only issue I have is that it can look a bit cakey and heavy, I've found this can be avoided by using a good hydrating primer and slowly building it up. It's my go to night foundation which I know will stay in place!
Tips: Use a hydrating primer, build it up slowly.
This brilliant but ecpensiv foundation is a good highly recommended foundation if ur looking for that coverage airbrush look.it not only feels but looks great when wwaeinv this foundation as it stays on all day long and also protects ur face fromnthe sun at the same time .be carefull not to over apply this product as if u dont blend iy in proply it will show on ur face az iv had many many experience witj many diifernt foundations as a makeup consultant but found the best goundation and makeup will always come with the high end brand name and price but ull always end up with a satisfying outcome
Tips: Becarefull on how much u apply to ur face as u dont need to cake this foundation on and to make sure u use a good technique to blend it well
This foundation does everything is says it will. It is light and glides on my skin so well without drying it out during the day, even thou it stays on ALL DAY. I find that I do not need to touch up whilst wearing this foundation and my skin always looks flawless. The packaging is a standard glass bottle, which I find I have to be careful as you do not need a lot of this product to get a good even coverage. Don't use to much as you can get a cakey look. I use a small amount and this gives me a good coverage for my whole face. It is hard to remove and if you do not use a make-up remover than you will need to cleanse twice to get all traces of foundation off. I have tried many foundations and always revert back to this product because it does work... so I am happy to purchase the make-up remover oil with it. love love love.
Tips: you need to use a makeup remover to get all traces of product off your skin, but the product lasts ages, so worth the extra $ for remover.
I had been searching and searching for a full coverage foundation that doesn't dry me out, doesn't make me break out, doesn't shift and gives full coverage and I have finally found it!
It sits well on my skin, although I do have oily skin but a quick dust with powder soon fixes that.
It is full coverage and lasts. You really need to cleanse and scrub your face to remove this baby!
The packaging is gorgeously simple. It makes me feel really classy with its glass bottle and gold lid and writing.
It has been matched perfectly to my skin tone. The assistant at my local Farmers gave me a couple of different samples to try and find the right one as it isn't cheap. I really appreciated the customer service as she also wanted me to find the perfect match.
I don't wear foundation every day but when I do this foundation never fails. With the full coverage I feel beautiful and confident as I have acne scars.
It really is worth the price. (although if Farmers are having a sale on cosmetics it is even better!)
Tips: Cleanse, moisturize and prime your skin before applying any makeup. A good base is crucial for a beautiful final look.
I purchased this foundation after hearing great things from youtubers. It was my first high end foundation that I purchased in new zealand rather than purchasing it from the internet. Okay when I purchased it cost me $80!!!!!!! To me $80 is not child change, so I was little sad when I had to part with that type of money for a foundation. But I wanted to try it out. I asked the ladies at the make up station if they could colour match me before I purchased it and let me walk around the mall for a little while to see how it looked. I was happy to say it looked great, so I went back to purchase it.
Once at home I didn't want to open it, just didnt want to ruin it as it looked amazing but also costed a huge amount. So I didn't use it for like 2 weeks, then putting on my big girl undies I decided to try it out again. The packaging is good. The bottle is glass with a gold plastic lid. However i wish it came with a pump, but I made do trying not to spill any wasted product around. The foundation was easy to blend out and apply. I used a flat top brush to apply it went on fine.
The foundation was a great colour match, it definitely is a full coverage foundation which is what I like. It covered like a dark spots and redness. The foundtion looks flawless when applied to the skin and blended out.
It lasted for about 5-6 hours without touching up on my skin. However, this foundation is not great in photo's at night or with a flash. It gives you that ghost looking face which nobody wants EVER. So this foundation is more day wear foundation. It is has some SPF in it, so that is most likely why it doesn't photo well.
Now that the price has reduced in New Zealand I will more likely repurchase this foundation when I run out.
Overall I am happy with the purchase and regret nothing, however maybe my bank did when I purchased it.
