It has taken me absolute years to find a foundation that was suited to me, not cakey, not oily, and not to make me look like a ghost (if there was a shade called Casper, I would be it). I went to the local Farmers, had a quick consult, and was given a small pottle to try. I have combination and sensitive skin, this did not irritate my skin in the slightest. I found this to be super long lasting, both throughout the day, and the actual product itself, a little goes a long way. This applied with a mattifying powder is my daily look now, I cannot be without it!! There is no smell I can detect, and I wear scarves every day and there was no rub off. Removal is a breeze, and pores are not left clogged after Sad I did not discover this years ago. Yes it may be pricey, but you actually save money if you get shade matched in store, versus trying random foundations in the hope they will be 'The One'

Tips: Get shade matched by a professional, see how it looks like in natural light, you will never go to anything else again!!
I love this foundation for my combination skin! I've found it's one of the first foundations where I have found a perfect match for my skin tone! Its so easy to use, doesn't show my pores and lasts all day.
I apply it with a flat top brush and I find that it buffs into my skin really nicely. I also find you can wear it lightly for a nice light coverage or put a bit more on for a full coverage look without it being cakey.
The coverage is great and I love the matte finish.
The only negative is the price point but it's definitely worth it!
Tips: Go into the store and get then to match your colour, plus you get a take-home sample.
I use this foundation if I know im going to be sweating because, I have no idea how, but it sticks to my face like glue. The formula is thick, but it lasts so it doesn't bother me that much.
Tips: The only downside is that there is a slight flashback which can make you look a lot paler than you actually are , but i usually just pack on the bronzer
I've recently been trying new foundations & Estée Lauder Doublewear foundation is now my new favourite. I just love the fresco, perfect colluding fir me & you can use a small amount for everyday or apply more layers for more coverage or night, it stays on & makes my skin look amazing with its flawless coverage!
Tips: Use a foundation brush for more even coverage
I love how long wearing this foundation is, and how it manages to survive in even the muggiest of temperatures.
I took it with me on a trip to south east asia and was worried that I might sweat it all off, but it lasted really well, and I didn't have any problems wearing it for long days out in the sun!
I have really sensitive dry skin and have not had any problems with it, a lot of foundations have made me break out in the past, but this has never happened with doublewear.
5/5 Definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a foundation that can brave warm days while still looking flawless.
I have been using this foundation for over 5 years and have yet to find anything better. I initially tried Estée Lauder double wear due to the long lasting claims and it delivers just that. I get quite a sweaty face if over exerted and this make up still Stays on. I can even swim with it and it still stays. Great in my busy life as I never have to worry about reapplying during the day. I also love the coverage of this foundation as it evens my skin out beautifully and hides all my imperfections. Big thumbs up from me
Tips: Find a cleanser that works at removing this makeup. I’ve found a $5 Kmart brand does the trick or an oil based cleanser. I also like to apply a light oil to my skin before applying as it gives my makeup a dewy and fresh look.
Tis has been my go to foundation for a couple of years, I always try something new but come back to this foundation. I have uneven skin tone and some acne scaring and this is the only foundation that doesn’t disappear halfway through the day. I don’t have to touch up or worry that ill start to look like an oily oompah loompa.
Tips: This foundation is best aplied to skin that is regularly exfoliated, as it can show dry patches. Another tip that makes this foundation look its best is to always wear a primer, it spares the product and the application looks more flawless.
This foundation is absolutely stunning for events and special occasions, while you could still wear this on a day to day basis, I would prefer to save this luxury product for those special occasions.
The coverage is full, and a little goes a long way.
Personally this works better for me in the cooler months here in New Zealand and I tend to move away from it during the summer as I find it can often be drying and thick, and throughout summer I like something a little less heavy.
Tips: Ensure to use a good moisturiser/primer before hand as the foundation can sometimes be quite dry. For flawless coverage, beauty blender are my favourite for application. Use a little fix plus to give a flawless finish
My all time absolute favourite foundation. I love how flawless it is and how easy to apply. It’s a complete full coverage foundation which never fails to last amazingly through the day/night. I also love the colour range, i personally am always able to match a colour throughout all seasons to my natural skin.
This my holy grail foundation! I love the shade range and undertones. I have been able to find match to each skin shade throughout the year. This foundation goes on smoothly and doesn't sink into pores. After 5 minutes the foundation settles into a beautiful semi matte finish. This foundation does not budge throughout the day. I never has makeup rub off on my clothing. I will continue to buy this product until it is discontinued!
Tips: Set with powder
