This foundation is amazing for achieving that flawless skin look when your skin is not so flawless. I have adult acne and scarring and all sorts of terrible stuff going on, but this stuff makes my skin look amazing. The product goes a really long way and blends really well and I find the shades to be a lot more natural than some other brands of foundation - in other words more like skin colouring than various shades or yellow/pink.

Tips: Application technique really makes a huge difference to finish. I recommend using a thick flat top foundation brush to apply. Also for a more natural skin look use a reflective primer underneath eg MAC Strobe Cream.
Omg this is my holey grail for coverage and perfect match for my shade I love how it fits my skin its an awesome coverage for my pigmentation and i love how i put it on and it wont smudge or rub off on to clothing its so perfect it dosent budge an inch it feels so light weight and perfect for evenings out
Tips: Apply Powder before u apply double wear for a more perfect look
So I have been hearing about every woman and her cat raving about this product forever and I feel like I'm the last person in the world to finally try it... Why did I wait???!!!
I am so impressed by this beautiful product!! I have ridiculously oily skin and am forever on the hunt for a product that does not slide off my face by lunch time... Ladies, I have found my Holy grail foundation!
This is a surprisingly liquidy product for something that gives such a beautiful full coverage, I have been applying it with a flat topped make up brush and it is the perfect coverage for me. The coverage and finish of this product is excellent, it glides on smoothly, it gives excellent coverage, the colour is perfect and it lasts all day with just a little touch up of powder throughout.
I am currently using it with the BECCA oil free primer (which is also amazing) and setting it with the Ben Nye powder in Cameo - this has to be the most perfect combination ever!!
Tips: Get a pump from the counter for about $15 so you don't waste any product!
Packaging is nice a glass bottle a good lid and a pump action to squirt the right amount out. So with a freshly primed face I start applying this with a foundation brush, I do one pump of foundation on the back of my hand and dab my brush into it, it's not a thick foundation more mid range. This foundation is easy to put on evenly and blend into my skin, It's a really nice medium coverage with a mid matte finish, also a SPF content and it blends easily down my neck, there's no scent I can detect and this does feel nice and lightweight on my skin and nice and breathable. I like the even skin tone I get using this and it does last. I don't get the fifteen hours but my face still looks pretty good at the end of the day at work. I get a little shine on the end of my nose, but nothing a little powder doesn't fix. The colour off this foundation I've found stays the same throughout the day and gives my face a more natural finish than a heavy finish. And so easy to remove with a little bit off makeup remover. Well I did take ages for me to decide whether to buy this, why did I take so long. It does a great job and lasts so most certainly spending my money on this.
Tips: Use a primer :) and a powder over top and enjoy
I can not rave about this foundation enough! i wear the shade 1N1 and it is a perfect match! i have a lot of redness in my skin and this works amazingly to cover it up! This foundation will not budge throughout the day it is amazing for its longevity, and even on the odd occasion where i fall asleep with my makeup on my base still looks flawless the next morning! i like to apply this with a beauty blender as i find it gives the best finish, i find that i don't even need a setting powder with this foundation! This foundation is supposed to be amazing for oily skinned girls but i have normal to dry skin and i would recommend it to anyone!
Tips: Would pay to get a tester first as i have heard it can break some people out! and you don't want to spend $80 on a foundation that breaks you out :)
I have recently (within the last two months) switched from using Revlon Colorstay to this and I love it!
The coverage is brilliant and you don't need to put too much on so the bottle will last a long time. The women in the store were so lovely giving me a couple of samples of different colours to try at home and after a few tries I found the perfect shade for my skin tone. I have found best to apply with a stippling brush for an even, flawless finish.
The only cons I have about this product is that the bottle doesn't come with a pump so it is pretty difficult to get the foundation out without it all pouring everywhere. It is also a bit drying so I would recommend moisturising and priming your skin beforehand (which you should already with any foundation).
I have since convinced my mum to change from Revlon to this and she loves it! Would definitely recommend to everyone
I researched alot of foundations before deciding on DW as this was going to be my first high-end foundation purchase. I love the coverage you get and it's the best foundation for summer as it does not move!! It has a matte finish with is great because I get greasy about mid-day. I do find that it does cake up on me a little by the end of the day just around the nose area, but I think it is because my skin has been unusually dry these days with the humid weather. I have oily to combo skin and this foundation is great, if I want a little dewyness to the foundation I add a amount of cocnut oil to the foundationand that transforms it from matte to a luminous finish. I will definitely be re-purchasing this foundation!!
Tips: I find this foundation is best applied using a BeautyBlender Sponge or something equivalent to the beauty blender. I found a flat top foundation brush made it look streaky.
This foundation is incredible! When I had acne this was the only one that would cover everything up while still looking amazing. It is a medium-consistency, buildable coverage foundation that stays put until you take it off. It will withstand sun, sweat and tears and still look flawless and natural. There is no need for touchups at all. It will last all day and all night if you want it to. The colour was perfect for me. With a lot of other brands of foundation I find the colours are either too pink or too yellow for me because my skin tone is classed as 'neutral' rather than warm or cool, but this came in my ideal shade. If you have oily skin in particular then this is the foundation for you because you won't end up shiny by the end of the day. It has a slightly matte finish. It is expensive but a little goes a long way and I think it's money very well spent.
Tips: For an airbrushed, flawless effect I use a MAC 187 brush to first stipple (dab) it all over my face and then swirl the brush over my face. I work fairly fast so it doesn't set before I'm finished.
BEST FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION I have ever come across!
Just to emphasise how incredible this foundation is - I will give you an example. 36 degree weather in Sydney + humidity + a party bus + a 14 hour day usually is not a good sign. BUT, praise Estee Lauder because they have made the most durable foundation in the world.
I prepped my face with my moisturiser and Mac stobe cream and then poured the tiniest amount of foundation onto my hand then stroked the foundation on my face and blended blended blended away with my beauty blender. Once I was done, my skin looked amazing and flawless (with only about a pea sized amount of foundation). As i used the Mac strobe cream as well, it gave the foundation a slight glow to it which you usually dont get when wearing the foundation alone, as it is quite matte.
Not only did it last 14+ hours in the Sydney heat, it felt comfortable, remained looking amazing and didn't budge after dancing for hours. I was so amazing by it!!
The product itself comes in a standard glass (i think) bottle with no pump so it must be purchased separately, but i use it without the pump. The texture of the product is thicker than most foundations and contains spf, but does not leave a ghostly cast in photography. It blends easily and it definitely buildable so you could use the tiniest amount for normal day wear as well
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a good, high end and amazing quality product!!
Tips: I had to get colour matched 3 times before I got the colour right! If you can, ask for a sample before you buy and test the foundation out in different lightings to make sure it matches you!
This is the first foundation that hasn't let me down. Usually ill love a foundation but as my skin changes and adjusts to the climate (winter=dry/summer=oily) i will get over it as it didnt work as well as before. With this foundation i found that no matter how my skin is the foundation never budges smears or transfers i am totally in love with this foundation and will probably be for the rest of my life. the main thing i love about this foundation is that its water resistant for example i wore it to the beach one time and i wasn't going to go swimming but eventually i did and when i came out it was still in place and looked like i just applied it. Only thing i wish it had a pump because i waste a lot by pouring too much or not enough. the bottle is small however it is 30ml and that is the normal amount in most foundations.
Its definitely my holy grail foundation.
