I tried a 10 day trial of this from my local department store and was amazed. As soon as the trial ran out I ran back to the shop to buy a full sized one. It is a bit pricey unfortunately, but I think that it is worth the price. I only use this for special occasions, or when I need the extra long wear. I wore it to a wedding once which started at 10am, when I got home after 12 that night my make up was still flawless. It was amazing. I must stress the importance of getting properly colour matched.

Tips: During winter it can get a little thick and hard to apply if it gets too cold. Just sit it in the sink with warm (not hot) water for a while and it is fine.
This foundation is amazing! Recently discovered that Estee lauder carried a shade light enough for me so I immediately wanted to try this foundation as everyone raves about it. For me, Double Wear really lives up to the hype. It's full coverage but not thick or sticky, the formula is light and easy to apply with both your hands or a brush. It sets matte and looks natural especially considering how high coverage it is. Double wear lasts me all day which is unheard of for me as I have oily skin and find most foundations separate on my t-bone. A major plus for me is that double wear works well with my favourite concealer Nars radiant creamy concealer. Beautiful foundation, absolutely love it.
This foundation is amazing! I dont usually go for high coverage on a daily basis but i love wearing this foundation when im going out to town. The coverage makes my skin look flawless and it last on my skin all night and doesnt slip off at all. The price is a bit steep but as good as this foundation is its worth every cent
Tips: Always remove thorougly before bed
Although this foundation does what it says it will, it has a very full on coverage that does cover almost everyones flaws. I find it very thick and drying on the skin. I have tried many ways to apply it, however it always just seems to look like a thick mess on my face, although i do LOVE the coverage i definitely would not recommend for a day to day foundation.
Tips: I find applying with a wet beauty blender, or fix plus sprayed buffing brush works best to minimise the thick look.
Absolutely adore double wear. It is incredible. Such good coverage and makes you look so flawless. The only down fall is that it makes your skin rather dry but a good moisturiser before and in the morning does the trick :)
Tips: Moisturise before :)
This is defiantly my go to foundation. Stays well and applys well, just have trouble with getting the right colour! The one i use now only works when im tan but the hype about this foundation is defiantly true.
Tips: Get colour matched but by someone that knows what they are talking about! Even get a tester to try before hand. I have found beauty blender makes it apply the best.
My new go to foundation, I have finally said goodbye to Revlon Colourstay which I have worn for around 10+ years. I now feel like I'm a grownup and its boosted my confidence to no end. It's so beautiful to work with and great coverage! The Estée lady that I was dealing with gave me five sample colours to take home and try so I could get the correct colour. I seen her over three weeks and she was the peak of customer service which is the second reason why this brand is my new favourite X
Tips: This has great coverage so start with a little and build up.
This foundation definitely stands up to what it claims to do. Its full coverage and i would say a demi matte finish. Id definitely buy it again
Tips: Apply with a damp beauty blender.. also DEFINITELY use a primer.. and not a matte primer.. use a hydrating primer.
This foundation is about as good as it gets for a really full coverage, long wearing and huge colour range! The only issue I have is that it can look a bit cakey and heavy, I've found this can be avoided by using a good hydrating primer and slowly building it up. It's my go to night foundation which I know will stay in place!
Tips: Use a hydrating primer, build it up slowly.
I found this foundation very good for full coverage, I did find I had to reapply powder after around 5-6hours because it started to look a little oily, but other than that totally recommend it, I'm very active teaching dance classes and found it does stay in place through the duration of my day.
Tips: Make sure your well moisturised before you apple double wear to ensure it sits nicely without cracking and moving.
