The coverage is amazing and it is long lasting but I don't think its worth the price. I don't like the way it goes on my skin and it feels like I'm wearing more makeup then i actually am.

Reviews
I was a little disappointed with this foundation. Applying it with a brush left my skin very dry and cakey looking. I applied it next time with a damp beauty blender and this was helpful. After couple of weeks using this foundation I was breaking out a lot around my cheeks and my skin was very red and dehydrated. I don't have particularly sensitive skin so I was surprised at the way my skin was reacting. The staying power of this Foundation is very good. I would still use this for the odd occasion I need a full and long lasting coverage but it is definitely not something I would reach for on a daily basis or for regular use. Wouldn't recommend for dry or sensitive skin at all.
Hard to get a colour to suit my skin colour. And when the staff member recommended one to me, it felt greasy and didn't feel comfortable at all.
I personally think there are better long wear foundations out there. I have been trying a sample of this over the past few days and my skin has broken out in huge pimples around my neck and nose. Thanks goodness I asked to have a tester to use before I purchased it. However I did fine that it stayed on and didn't appear to wear off like some other foundations, there certainly was no need for me to use a primer which I always use with my colour stay, but can't say that the colour stay wouldn't stay on without a primer either (I have just always used one).
Tips: Always ask for a tester before buying any foundation as you need to be able to wear if a few times to see if it is going to cause break outs or if the colour changes over the day.
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!
Ok, let's start off I have combo/oily skin. This product is always recommended for my skin type, claiming that it will stay on and look flawless all day. It does stay on all day, but even when applied "flawlessly" when my oils come through it is visible that it becomes patchy, it comes off on my nose it feels super heavy and definitely not natural!! It oxidised on my skin, it looks HORRIBLE IN PHOTOS (flash) it just has this horrific white cast. I tried everything with this foundation.. Different primers, no primer, different setting powders.. NOTHING HELPED. I am so disappointed because I wanted to love this foundation. I much prefer the Revlon Colorstay. It does everything this says it does, but it actually does it.
Tips: -Take a tester pot home first -Try Revlon Colorstay instead
So I got my free 10 day trial on this foundation I found that it made me more pail even thou it matched my skin tone. I found that it also made my skin flakey and I started to get break outs
Overall I was disappointed with this product. My main issue with it is that I bought it in the second lightest cool toned shade by I end up with this orange tint that does not suit me at all. Not sure if this is oxidation or just a bad colour. It's not the first light cool toned foundation that has given me this problem. Another thing I dislike about it is that I'd heard this foundation "looks like skin" but this was the opposite experience for me. Up close my skin looked cakey and oily (more oily than if I wasn't wearing this) and unnatural even when applying medium coverage with acne scars still visible. The only time I ever wear this foundation is on a night out where the lighting is dim. This is the only time I can get away with the orange tint and the oily/cakey look. Also, this product is very difficult to remove. I struggled to remove it with 2 different makeup removes one being my trusty micellar water. Removing this requires lots of cotton pads, makeup remover, and then a thorough cleanse with a good cleanser. I will say this product is definitely water resistant and transfer resistant. And finally, although this product says it is non acnegenic this is misleading as it is comedogenic. Gives me breakouts after I use it. :// And so I barely ever use it now. Waste of money on such an expensive foundation that so many people have raved about.
Tips: You don't need to buy the pump, just tip out a little at a time.
After all the hype about this product... I really wanted to love it. But unfortunately I just cant! Big thumbs down for me.
I have quite oily, breakout prone skin. Everytime I use this foundation my skin breaks out worse than it ever has. The product itself slips around all day and needs to be touched up constantly. I definitely would not buy this again for the price it is!
I decide to jump on the Doublewear wagon and give this a go, and for the first few times I wore it I really enjoyed it, gave great coverage it was easy to blend and buff into the skin and did last a reeeeeally long time. Then my skin started to get really irritated when I wore it, my skin started flaking and getting very itchy. I really wanted it to work for me as it isnt cheap, but again after giving my skin a few months break it had the same reaction. But, I do really love the elegance of this product and the packaging is great with the addition of a pump it would be even better.
