I think my absolute favourite foundation would have to be double wear.. unfortunately my wallet doesn’t agree with me. But this is such an affordable alternative.
I have picked this up recently at postie plus for $20 but usually go to life where I get life points and can get this for $30 on sale which I think is totally reasonable.
If you’ve used Estée Lauders double wear you will have a good idea of a good foundation.. I haven’t met anyone that didn’t like it.. but this is such a good alternative you wouldn’t know the difference between the two looking at it on the skin.
Good selection of colours for a start.
A decent sized bottle and you can easily see what’s left.. the bottle of B.B. cream I’m using you can’t see and it’s a bit annoying so I always like to see what I’ve got left.
Easy to dispense pump and the formula spreads like a dream. It’s consistency is nice and gives you a flawless look without caking or streaking. I’ve applied with fingers.. I always revert back to them as brushes and sponges are usually m.i.a and it’s always given me a nice complete look so it’s definitely quite easy to use and blend.
Lasts alll day for me. I don’t look melted or have creases which is amazing. It is a great alternative for me to my favourite. All day to me usually means 9-5 - after the school runs and when I’m settled back home cooking dinner so I would actually feel pretty positive about going out for an evening without too much of a touch up.
Definitely full coverage for me. I can usually get away with a med weight foundation for a full coverage look luckily so this just gives that extra bit of coverage and longevity which I need to ensure I don’t resemble Casper.
I’ve been exercising with is on now I have to try and keep my blood sugars in tact and it’s lasted through that.. it’s not too hard an exercise regime but it’s surviving a mild work out or paced walk.
I have used Revlon colour stay many times, the coverage is absolutely amazing and one of the biggest pluses on this product. It doesn’t look to cakey and has a natural looking but also very full coverage. I had problems with my pores with some other foundation which lead my foundation to looking quite funny and seperated but with colour stay I didn’t have this problem. It truly does stay in place and it lasts for the day, when I use this foundation I don’t top up throughout the day. Which is a bonus for this busy Mumas life.
Tips: I apply with a beauty blends that’s slightly damp and pat with a rolling motion for flawless foundation every time.
