This foundation is simply AMAZING. It's staying power is one hard to match, whilst it still gives amazing coverage. Sometimes it needs setting so that it doesn't slip otherwise it's one of my faves! ... It's worth forking out the money!

Tips: Wear with a primer that has a matching base for a longer wear, and set with a setting powder or translucent powder so it doesn't slip :)
This is a pricey foundation but if you're after something that Will. Not. Budge.and are willing to spend a little extra (and I think it's worth it) then this could be for you.
I haven't scored this as high as it probably deserves because for me and my combination extremely dry/pimply skin it was a tad too greasy.
It's definitely not a product I would use as my everyday foundation for my trips to playgroup and the supermarket. For a big event or (admittedly rare) night out however, it's ideal.
It does not lie, it will stay in place. In this day and age keeping your word in the world of marketing is not something to be sniffed at.
Tips: If you're going to use a high end product, especially foundation, it's vital you spend a little on the right tools and preparation to maximise the performance. This means invest in a good primer and a decent foundation brush or sponge. Slapping this over your cheap mousturiser with your bare fingers is just disrespectful.
This sounds like an exaggeration, but I swear it's true. At least once a week, someone will comment on my skin and ask what I use. This product is the reason!
For once, here's a long-lasting foundation that does what it says it does: I apply it at 5am when I leave to go for work - and when I go to bed at 10.30pm it is still on and looking great!
I love that it doesn't come off on my clothes, and I love its coverage.
Two things to be aware of: it is a very drying product (out of necessity), so a good moisturiser is a must. And it's a good idea to double-cleanse - it is so effective that a single cleanse doesn't get rid of it all.
Pretty pricey, but for me, worth every penny. Once on - it stays on.
Tips: Use a foundation brush for truly flawless results
I fall in and out of love with this product!
I find this quite a full coverage foundation and tend to only wear this going out of an evening.
This does leave you looking flawless and have worn it a few times for photo shoots.. tends to photograph well without giving without. This may look too heavy for day wear and or summer. The colour options are limited and this is quite expensive but does last a long time.
I may try this product again over winter and try to apply with my Sigma Flat Kabuki.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting a full coverage matte look.. colour selections limited so make sure the colour is right for you. Its a lot of money to get the wrong colour and be unhappy.
Tips: I would recommend wearing this for a day before purchasing to make sure you are happy with colour and coverage
This is definitely expensive, but definitely worth it. I got colour matched and tested the foundation out for a few days before buying a bottle and it is one of the best makeup decisions I have ever made. I get home at the end of the day with my makeup looking just how it did when I applied it in the morning! This is very full coverage and in future I will most likely save this for days where I want extra coverage or special occasions, nights out etc. This really goes on and stays on, doesn't go patchy or flaky, doesn't fade or wear off. Every other foundation I have tried sinks into those smiles lines every day and I find myself trying to blend them out when I go to the bathroom - I couldn't believe it when I didn't have this problem with double wear! Applies and buffs into the skin well, I have tried this with both a duo fiber brush and the RT buffing brush and both work well with this foundation.
Tips: Avoid dotting this over your whole face and then trying to blend out as there isn't much 'play time' before it sets. I find the best way to apply is to do one section of the face at a time. This can block pores too so make sure you take off your makeup really really well at the end of the day/night!
After all the hype about this product... I really wanted to love it. But unfortunately I just cant! Big thumbs down for me.
I have quite oily, breakout prone skin. Everytime I use this foundation my skin breaks out worse than it ever has. The product itself slips around all day and needs to be touched up constantly. I definitely would not buy this again for the price it is!
I find that this foundation dries out my skin a lot. When I first started wearing the foundation i woke up the next morning with little red bumps on my chin even after cleaning my face and removing the foundation before I went to bed. It seems to stay on my face however I found myself having to reapply on my nose as it made it oily there (something I don't usually have to do) this foundation seems to work well for most people so it may just be my skin type.
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 :)
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!
i love estee lauder i use to use this foundation everyday when i was working in the pharmacy, as we got an allocation for our make up and skin care so i have tried a lot of brand
i really liked this foundation it has a med to full coverage that truly is flawless all day has a great choice of colors so you can get your perfect match. it was great not having to soak all my white work tops because of foundation stains round the neck also they brought out doublewear light just as i left this still has the flawless look that last all day just feels alot lighter on the skin and was more of a med covarage i like that more now I'm not working in the pharmacy the price of the foundation really is out of my price bracket
Tips: make sure you double cleanse to remover everything or use make up remover then cleanse
