My Ride or Die!

I LOVE my double wear foundation. it always looks good regardless of what primer I use. so it is definitely a more medium to full coverage foundation but it can be a bit more natural looking depending on amount used and how applied.

I find if I want really full coverage to use a brush to apply it, a sigma f80 or similar works well.

If I want less coverage I use a beauty blender (my go to), I also find that you can start out with less product and keep building if you want more full coverage.

this foundation is certainly on the matte side, I do not mind this though as I have combo skin, I like to add my shine on after.

I do not find it oxidises on me, it covers the redness on my checks and makes my pores dissappear, and no matter the occassion, it never lets me down.

I do not wear makeup to work everyday so I am unsure If I would use something this heavy as my everyday. but because I do not use it all the time I don't find it too expensive.

It does irritate me that it doesn't come with a foundation pump, but you can buy the MAC foundation pumps and they fit the bottles so while annoying is not a deal breaker.

Tips: This has spf 10 in it but because of the amount you would use I would still apply a sunscreen under it if going to be outside.

for a more natural look use a beauty sponge and for more full coverage use a foundation brush

Holy Grail of Foundations

Definitely my favourite foundation for going out! Don't think I could use any others for night wear after using this. Stays on all night and into the early hours, doesn't smudge or come off on any of your clothes and has really good coverage which I find super important. So many colour options, I have a few different ones to match throughout the seasons and when Ive had a spray tan.

Tips: Make sure you skin is exfoliated and that you use a primer or serum first. Might sound weird but the Estee lauder advanced night repair goes really well under this.

Amazing

This foundation is my holy grail, tried many other brands but can not find anything that beats this. 10/10 would recommend.

Tips: Get free colour matching in store to ensure it’s the right tone.

EL DoubleWear, Longwearing Natural Even Toned Skin

This is quickly becoming one of my fave foundations. I really like the natural looking finish I get and it stays on for hours. I've gotten compliments using this. I've never worn it for 15 or 24 hours so I don't know about those claims but it does look pretty good for most of the day and into the evening. I use a primer and the Urban Decay All Nighter so that does extend the wear a bit. I haven't gotten any breakouts using this and I have found I only need a small amount to even out my skin so even though it's expensive it lasts a long time. I would recommend this to anyone with oily to more normal skin that wants a longwearing foundation with a natural finish.

Tips: I like to spray a good setting spray like UD All Nighter for even longer wear once I finish my face. If you have an eye on this foundation I would recommend waiting till there's a good gwp or discount so you can get more for your buck.

Best foundation ever

This foundation is definitely worth the hype. It is a very full coverage long lasting formula that stays looking flawless throughout the day. It sits on the skin really well and looks amazing and fresh for atleast 12 hours. I have experienced with other long wearing full coverage foundations , they usually start to budge and move or crack however this one always looks the same at the end of the day as it first does when I apply it on my face. 10/10 for this product.

Tips: Tip : Use a matte setting spray on top to lock everything in place even better!!!:)

Fantastic

This product is amazing

Great coverage A small amount goes a long way.

For me the price point is too high to use it often. but is worth it for a nice foundation

Tips: If you have dry skin it's not for you as it sticks to dry patches

Literally the Holy Grail of foundation

After using a few different professional brands, I still wasn't satisfied with the coverage and the longevity of the product.

On my maiden voyage, setting sail to find the holy grail of foundation, I found reviews for this foundation. Uses were praising the coverage, how long it lasted and rejoicing in finding a foundation that was buildable AND flawless.

I had to try it.

I took off to the local stockiest who swathed me with different shades until we agreed on the correct shade. I was thrilled.

This is the best foundation I have ever used in my LIFE. The coverage is amazing - a little goes a long way. The best part is that you can touch your face and the foundation doesn't come away. It sticks like gum in your hair. At the end of the day the product is still flawless, albeit a little worse for wear around the nose.

The price is a little bit up there but I fully believe it was worth every cent. I also walked away with a little gift with purchase which included a small mascara which now lives in my car for those touch-up moments. Don't underestimate the usefulness of those little trial products.

Tips: I use a brush and it goes on very well.

My Absolute favourite

It’s taken many many years of trialling foundations. From liquid, to pancake, to powder and everything in between.

From the cheapest of the cheap, to the luxury brand’s. I’ve lost count on how many I’ve used!!!

And then about 3-4 years ago I found this foundation. It does everything it promises and more. It stays put for hours and leaves a beautiful dewy finish. It’s also incredibly versatile. Apply sparingly for a light finish, or build it up for maximum coverage

Tips: Best finish is achieved by applying with a sponge

I always go back to Double Wear

I’ve tried two or three colour shades and all have looked good on me with winter or summer fair colouring. It’s worth the money. Can sometimes combine with skincare and get a freebie bag of goodies.

Tips: Underneath, moisturise or sunscreen well at least two minutes before applying. This product will take it.

8 Years Use

I've been using Estee Lauder double wear (Fresco) for 8 years now after my Mum introduced me to it. I haven't purchased any other brands of foundation since! The coverage is perfect and hides imperfections and fine lines with ease. It is easy to apply, not sticky and the consistency is light, lasting all day and night without having to reapply. Although pricey it is absolutely worth it, 1 bottle will last me at least 6 months as a little goes a long way. In my opinion it is the best on the market.

Tips: Look out for when it is on sale if you're unable to afford the full price, or to give it a try you can visit an Estee Lauder counter and try it for yourself. You will not regret it!
