Tips: Foundation dries so quick so work on each area one by one . don’t apply foundation on full face and then blend .
This foundation has been a staple in my small cosmetics collection, I can't count how many I've been through (including a smashed brand new bottle). I wore this daily when working full time in a busy hotel and it would stay in place for up to a 16 hour shift!
I prefer the finish once it has had about an hour to settle into the skin and looks a bit more natural. It covers my blemishes and redness perfectly and keeps them hidden for as long as I need. I dont have any issue removing the foundation, generally I'd use a micellar water followed up with whatever cleanser I have on the go.
Tips: Be careful with the bottle! Particularly on tiled floors :(
This is my go to when I want a bit more coverage for photos. It's medium coverage so it can look thick in person, but very long lasting. There is a bit of a damp smell at first when applying and then it settles into your skin. I find the shades a bit cold in tone generally, but I don't mind it as I like to look a little paler and the cold tone helps.
Tips: Use a setting powder as it does move around a bit.
I've now been using double wear for a few years. It has stayed by my side during a torrential downpour, a sweaty festival and an impromptu summer swim. Its staying power will long outlast any other and they are constantly expanding their colour range. Its a bit pricey if I'm honest but that the price you pay for a near perfect foundation I guess!!
I recently took a trip to farmers back at the start of January looking for a new foundation to wear for an event, I wanted to it be full coverage, last all day and not leave marks on people as I gave them a hug!
I have tried this foundation before back in my early 20s and to be honest I never really took much notice of it. Whacked it on my face and called it a day. However I do remember it always being an absolute flawless finish. My skin has changed since my 20s so I was curious to see how my skin would like it now 10 years on.
I wanted to do it right so went and and had a consultation with the Estee Lauder sales lady? and she was kind enough to colour match me like I had asked. However I wasn't sold on it just with a wee swatch on my face so she kindly did a full face for me so I could be sure I really wanted to buy the product. Not only did she do a full face but she sent me home with a sample. Regardless I purchased it then and there on the spot after having it applied.
The one thing I noticed straight away was actually how buildable the foundation was without it looking cakey. To start off with we did a light application that could easily be worn as a day to day face and then she built it up so it was MAX coverage. I have quite large pores and was super impressed with how well it sat on my face without making my pores look grossly enlarged.
The day of the event I chose a full coverage application and it really did not budge all day! It didn't smudge or smear or Mark anyone's tops as I hugged them. It was a sweltering hot day too and it didn't melt or look oily throughout the day. I did wear a setting spray to help the longevity of the product of course.
One thing I disagree with this product is that it states its a semi matte. I honestly think this is just a straight matte finish. On my skin it feels and looks matte. However it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and the finish really is beautiful. I 10/10 will be re purchasing this product when I run it. It's reliable and it's beautiful on the skin, I feel like my skin has matured alot since my early 20s, now being in my early 30s it still looked flawless.
Tips: I'm not sure if you can buy a pump for the top of the bottle? But if it exists I 100% recommend getting one to make getting the product out a little easier and to avoid mess!
Been using this foundation for countless years. I still have this in my make up collection constantly. I usually only use it these days if it’s a hot day (knowing I may sweat) or if I know I need my make up to last the entire day and into the night
Tips: It can be hard to work with as once it’s on it’s on there is no movement !
Love how this double wear feels when it's on I feel like a new me..it gives me that coverage i need and not only that it's long lasting.
Tips: Apply with beauty blender
I rebrought it recently after not using it for a while, I love it favourite foundation! Can build it up or have it as a low coverage.
I used this foundation back in the days of super full-faced makeup (looking at you insta brows of 2012!). I honestly loved the coverage this gave me - I used to wear this before university presentations where I would be worried about blushing because you COULD NOT see any hint of the dreaded red cheeks when wearing this. Full-face makeup isn't really my look these days but if its yours then this works an absolute treat!
I bought this foundation after reading many great reviews. I have VERY pale skin so bought the shade "bone" but I found the undertones were still slightly yellow for my liking. The coverage is amazing and FULL but if you are applying with a beauty blender it needs to be barely damp and work in areas or else it drys really fast and ends up cakey. I also didn't like that it really brought out all my little facial hairs. I think this foundation is a great choice for those who want really full coverage, or for a glam night look!
