15 hours?.....pfffft.

I have a love hate relationship with this foundation. Been using it for about 3 months pretty much daily and have been trying to find what the hype is all about. First off, boy is it pricey! But guess being EL thats kind of expected. Have found it to be too cakey when applied with a brush (tried RT expert face brush) so i use my fingers for a less 'full makeup' look. Have found that it oxidises and by about 3pm it doesnt look as 'fresh'. Tends to slip off my nose very easily, especially if i sweat slightly, just turns it into a cakey mess. Broke me out (i havent had pimples in years!) even after washing my face with a makeup removing cleanser twice in the evenings. I guess the only good thing is its an ok colour match (pale almond). I dont think i will repurchase again.

Tips: Use fingers for a 'lighter' coverage. Also, wouldnt say it us 'buildable' at all.

Work fast

This product does give full coverage and feel light on the skin. Have to work very fast when applying because it dries onto the skin in minutes and cannot be budged. It really does stick to wherever you have placed it which allows it to stay on all day but is hard when trying to achieve flawless coverage.

Tips: Use a damp beauty blender

Best foundation ever!

I have been using this for about 7 years I think and it is my favourite, favourite , favourite foundation ever. It is the only foundation I have found that doesn't melt off or move during the day. It is perfect for my oily skin. I always get asked what foundation I use. It is a good coverage foundation and you need to work quickly to blend it in. I find it best to use your fingertips to apply rather than a brush , as your fingers warm it up making it easier to blend. Nothing compares to this foundation!

Not for everyone

This make up is pretty heavy duty! It gives very good coverage and has a matte finish and I've always found my skin has not started to look oily during the day when I wear it. You need to be sure that you are buying the exact right shade for your skin tone because it is pretty unforgiving if you make a mistake or the colour is not quite right. It can also feel a bit tight on your skin. I would recommend it only for people who are specifically looking for strong coverage.

Tips: Gently exfoliate/cleanse and moisturise right before putting it on as it can latch on to dry patches.

Estée Lauder double wear foundation

This by far is the best full coverage foundation I have ever used. It hides acne, redness, you name it and it really does stay on all day! It gives you a beautiful matte look that perfectly matches your skin tone and I always get compliments when I wear it. The only downside is that I have to limit how much I use it. I can't use it every day as it's a wee bit too heavy and makes me break out. I currently use this for special occasions only.

Tips: In my experience I find it's best applied with a damp stippling brush.

holy grail <3

my favourite foundation! i love the finish, even though it is full coverage it feels quite lightweight, i didnt break out or i dont think from it (have a few pimples/acne here and there so i dont know if thats just because or because of this) this shade matches my skin perfectly and i just dont see any flaws in it!

Great Foundation!

This is such a good foundation, especially for acne-prone/oily skin as it hides imperfections amazingly and it stays matte all day. Definitely my go-to foundation!

Excellent coverage!

This is one of my favourite foundations. It really delivers on flawless coverage, going on smoothly and my personal shade matches my skin tone better than any other, making my skin look amazing! It also manages to stay looking fresh and flawless all day.

Tips: The cost may put some people off, but it's worth it as you don't need to apply as much product. Mine lasts approx 2 - 3 months.

Fantastic long wearing foundation

I fell in love with this product right away upon trying it for only 1 day! price wise, yes it is a bit expensive, but It is definitely worth it! I bought mine for $80 at Life Pharmacy and my shade is Rattan 84. It gives me that flawless finish, absolutely full-coverage. The first day I used it after purchase, it stayed on for sold 12 hours! Even my husband gave me a compliment on this. LOVE IT!

Tips: Try using a beauty blender instead of brush to give you a smooth and airbrush like finish. Also, if you are like me who looks shiny on the "T" zone, apply powder over foundation and you will look just fine. :)

I won't use another foundation EVER!!!

This is hands down the BEST foundation I have ever used! I got a ten day supply a year or so ago and was so impressed with how long it lasted and how little I needed to apply! It blends so well into my skin, and I don't need to touch my makeup up at all! Is worth the $80 especially if you purchase it from Farmers and get Club card points. Mine lasts me about 4-5 months :)

Tips: Use a good makeup remover as it is a bit harder to remove. DO NOT leave it on overnight!
