Double wear has got to be the most impressive foundation I have ever used... and I seriously mean that. It covers up everything and lasts and lasts. Some nights I have fallen asleep without washing my makeup off and have woken up with the same coverage as the day before! I usually wear this foundation if I am heading out for the night or somewhere fancy because I think it's that special.

Tips: Make sure you get the right colour match to your skin tone, because a slightly darker or lighter colour can look quite bad! I would also recommend that you take a little more time than usual to put it on - don't rush or it may look quite cakey.
Also, the best advise I was ever given when it comes to putting foundation on with your fingers is to dab and not rub!
this foundation has become a holy grail product for me. i have rather oily skin and have trouble with my foundation slipping everywhere during the day.
i got this from farmers and it is seriously amazing. it really does last ALL day and night. it just looks so impeccable and flawless on the skin. you only need a tiny amount and it goes a long way!
the color match is just beautiful also. the only thing is i wish it came with a pump. it would make life so much easier although ive heard the mac one fits :) overall totally love this foundation.
I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with dry,sensitive or acne prone skin. it can be drying and its so long lasting that it sinks into your pores.
will definitely be re-purchasing this!
Tips: be sure to wash this off your skin every night THOROUGHLY. its such a heavy duty makeup that it likes to sink into your skin. i personally take as much off with makeup remover then use my daily facial scrub. this also prevents those dreaded break outs. also once you know your color you can buy it for $55 from strawberrynet.com. such a bargain :)
This is one of my favourite foundations, I enjoy the longevity of it, it lasts all day for me and looks the same as when I apply it in the morning come the end of the day
I don’t know what I did before I had this foundation! 15 hour staying power truly is no exaggeration of the truth. This is a very thick substance so it does feel quite heavy on the skin but if it is a flawless and long lasting complexion that you are after then you need this foundation in your life! Love love.
Tips: Be sure to remove properly – because this product is so heavy, this normally takes a cleansing wipe followed by your usual make up removal routine – so face wipe, face wash, toner, moisturiser.
i am in inlove with this product not only does it do what it says it does BUT man does it last a long long time i know this is bad but i fell asleep with it on and woke up in the morning and it was still perfect i mean WOW. can not rave about it MORE
Tips: i put on setting spray on before then my face primer then foundation on top :) gives it a smoother surface :)
Having problem skin, bumps and lumps and lines and pimples i was a bit worried this product would be a bit thick and wrong for my skin. I couldnt be more wrong! There are sooo many shades there is bound to be something perfect for every skin colour! It lasts a long time as only a small amount is needed and gives a complete full coverage. It is also very light wearing. Been using this product for a month or so now daily and was so thrilled with the products performance I purchased a full bottle before my sample was finished. I love not having to do touch ups!
Tips: Prime first! I prefer to blend with my fingers but you may prefer brush or sponge
To be very honest, I was never interested in this foundation when all the hype and frantic behaviour started because it was just another over-priced foundation in my eyes. "Its just going to break me out like all others do and make my acne worse" were my thoughts.
Well stay tuned for the revelation!
I decided what the heck and went to get colour matched in the hope it would do for me what its been doing for so many others. Magic!
I think the consultant felt sorry for me looking at my face because I walked away with much more than 10days worth of a sample. After using it just once... wow... instance difference in my skin and that full coverage!
I prime my face with ELF primer just ever so lightly because I have really oily skin and then I apply the foundation with my fingertips. No I'm not uncivilized to not use makeup brushes, my acne doesnt allow me to get a flawless finish with brushes.
The foundation dries and sets really quickly so I have to work fairly fast to smooth it onto my face. I use to wear about 3 layers of foundation to cover my pimples and scarring but with DW I only need one decent layer applied evenly, and then any areas that havent been covered I apply another layer and blend it in. I find that eventhough DW dries and sets pretty quickly it really adaptable when you want to apply more layers because its blends beautifully.
I proceeded to bankrupt myself and purchase this and will be using this for the rest of time! I love the smell of DW, I love the creamy smoothness of foundation during application and I LOVE that is stays glued to you face the entire day. Not even a shower will make it budge. The best part is that is doesnt break me out and I've been getting the most amazing compliments about my skin because people dont understand what happened. I have never received compliments about my face, ever! One day I just appeared with almost perfect skin.
I recommend this from the bottom of soul to girls who are struggling with acne, scarring and low self-esteem due to being shy about their acne. DW has given me a new confidence about my self and not I'm not constantly checking my makeup to ensure it hasnt melted away. Just apply and forget about it!
Tips: If you have dry to normal skin you have to use a primer with DW to give your skin some moisture as the foundation can make your skin feel tight and taunt. I have oily skin so this foundation works a treat for me.
I'm in love! I have really oily skin, no matter if I prime or not my makeup nearly always slides off. This product does not! It stays in place all day, it controls the oil and stays matte (if I've added powder) all day/night. The product itself is quite runny, so I use the palm of my hand to hold the product before I place it onto my skin. You don't need a lot, so if you're like me and switch between foundation and BB/CC cream then it will last for months! The foundations blends out so well, and with medium to full coverage I've found I'm not needed as much concealer on those pesky spots. I've also found that although it sinks into my gigantic pores it does not into my fine lines around my eyes. This is a perfect foundation for anyone... I can't recommend this enough.
Tips: Use a brush to apply to your face/neck and then a sponge to blend it out :)
I absolutely adore this foundation! It is truly full coverage and long lasting... so long lasting that it's a pain to remove! There is a whole range of colours, and you can get matched at your nearest counter.. Though, when you do, make sure to get a sample just to ensure you are getting the right colour, and that it works well with your skin because everyone is different! :) personally, I got matched to 3 different shades at 3 different counters and I chose which one I liked best haha for the amount your paying, you need to make sure it's peeerrrfect ;)
Tips: I found I did break out after the first few times of usage but that was because I was not fully removing the product from my skin.. So, I started double cleansing and exfoliating regularly and now my skins back to normal!
This foundation is a miracle worker in so many ways. It lasts me 18 hours at least and the amount of compliments ive received when wearing this is a new record. It covers everything and i mean everything. I only just finished my bottle this morning which has lasted me well over 3 months which is so great and value for what its worth.
