Used to use Mac Pro-long wear foundation. This is amazing. I have really bad acne and scaring and this covers it all up. It does take quite a while to dry up but if you decide to bake with loose powder then you don't need to worry about the foundation drying up. I don't think I can go out without using this foundation. Full and matte coverage. Only problem is that there isn't a pump so when I put it out onto my hand I sometimes tend to pour out too much product which is a waste, however now after a while of using it I can (slightly) control how much I pour into my hand. Overall amazing product and would definitely recommend it for someone who wants a full coverage without looking valet ad instead looking natural. I've also had a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks. Little do they know my skin under is really bad lol

This is my favourite foundation of all time. I've used up a bottle of it, and since i ran out i've missed it so much! I decided to put off replacing it straight away to force myself to try other foundations, but i've found nothing as good. The colour i use (1N1) is a perfect match, the consistency is perfect - its not super thick like a lot of people think, - it covers my breakouts, scarring and redness like nothing else, and it looks amazing for longer than any other foundation i've ever tried. I will be buying another bottle of it very soon. I will be surprised if i ever find another foundation that i love as much as this one.
Tips: I like to apply two layers using a flat top kabuki brush or a damp beauty sponge. I only use a primer to target a specific skin issue if i need it - this foundation works fine without one. Lasts very well on hot days - my summer go-to! You do need to set this with powder as it is not transfer-proof.
I love this foundation!! It stays forever, and maintains such a gorgeous finish. I have oily skin and always struggle to keep foundations looking good for more than 5 hours, especially at work or on warmer days (is that normal?), but doublewear is fantastic. I never spend within this amount for make up, but no matter what, will always splash out for this foundation. The tones are perfect. I love how it covers my redness and masks my acne, as you can layer it up for a stronger 'night look' if need be. I'm super fussy and have tried everything, and LOVE doublewear. I wouldn't recommend anything else.
Estée Lauder double wear- most makeup fans have heard of this iconic foundation. It's got a great reputation - because it's super good!. I had a break from using this and tried quite a few different foundations. Im glad to be reunited with my absolute favourite and now wondered why I ever went somewhere else!
It has everything I need for in a foundation, great coverage and just lasts all day. Who can be bothered reapplying foundation during the day? With this it just looks great even at the end of the day.
The brand itself is so luxurious, I'm a huge fan of most of the doublewear range. This foundation is in a glass bottle with a gold lid- classic and beautiful.
For application I ensure I only use a small amount and buff it into my face. By using a small amount my skin looks flawless but not too overdone.
It's such a great foundation and I totally recommend it if you love full coverage foundations.
I love this foundation, it's become my every day go to liquid foundation. I work 11 hour shifts and this is the only foundation I have tried that stays on throughout the day with the least issues. The colour matching is pretty easy, I find they have a good range of colours. The only issue I have with it is when I try to put a light under eye concealer on top of it (or any other liquid/cream product on top) it goes patchy and leaves me with foundation was spots.
Tips: Try to use any other liquid/cream products underneath the foundation. Head into farmers for a colour match but ask for a sample of maybe 2 colours so you can go away and see what they're like under natural lighting.
Love it - really great staying power, stays put until I wash it off at night. Nice finish on the skin compared to other brands I've tried. Hate it - no pump, I never get the same amount and waste product dripping down the bottle. It is hard to apply, currently I use a stippling brush, then pat over with a damp beauty blender, which is really to much work in the morning. It also sinks into my pores. But for the saying power and ability to keep the shine (mostly) under control would repurchase.
Tips: It took four "consultations" at different counters to find a match. Don't settle on the colour if you are not happy with it.
I've heard the hype, and finally got round (well emptied my current foundation) to try this foundation. I highly recommend getting a test pot from a beauty counter, as I needed to blend two colours to get the right shade.
This foundation is silky smooth with a liquid almost water like touch. It's super easy to blend and apply and has fantastic coverage. Aside from under eye make-up, I use the foundation as concealer! I dot it on any blemishes or marks after I apply to my face (I'm over 30 and still get pimples, argh!) and a light dusting of powder to set it. I have oily skin, so powder is a must in my make-up ritual, but on days around the house, I can forgo it and still get great wear all day long.
My favourite part is how light weight the product the is, it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. And for days I want just a light touch of coverage, I mix it with my moisturiser and get a dewy application. I love how versatile it is and yet it still gives a flawless application and blends easily. It also doesn't settle in any of my fine lines - I have some fine lines on my forehead and between my eyes, and this product doesn't accentuate these pesky lines.
I also think the price is great value. Compared to my other high end foundation, this product is cheaper, last longer, is lighter to touch and easier to apply. Definitely my go to foundation!
Tips: Get a test pot, gives about two week's worth of product - great value and you can ensure you have the right shade for your skin tone.
This foundation is great if you want something that is going to stay in place all day and not move! They also have a great colour range. Amazing for oily skin and normal skin, but I don't think I would recommend it for people with dry skin, unless you use a moisturising primer first because it is prone to cling onto and emphasising dry patches.
It is a little expensive in NZ, but I think it is worth it - I personally use it only for special occasions because I don't want such full coverage for everyday wear, so one bottle will last me awhile.
Tips: Exfoliate and use a moisturising primer first!
Ah the woes of being pale as a ghost! One of my constant troubles is there are about 2 foundations that suit my skintone and they happen to be asian bb creams that are extremely expensive here. When I saw Estee Lauder run the free 1 week sample promotion for this I thought I'd try my luck. So I went instore and a lovely lady matched my up with the lightest shade. I think it must've been the slightly yellow lighting instore but when I got home and looked at myself I saw a really yellow patch on my otherwise slightly rose but otherwise white face. I was however really impressed with the staying power, this really does live up to its name for longitivity. I have tried having a full face of this a couple times and it doesn't look too bad, as long as I blend down to my neck. Really wished they made a lighter shade because then I'd definitely go buy this!
This foundation is worth every cent. I purchased my first bottle about 2 months ago and will be sticking with it.. the shade is perfect for my skin tone, it has great coverage and it lasts all day, even with my very oily/combination skin. Lack of a pump doesn't bother me. The consistency is thicker than other liquid foundations I have used, but those other foundations don't last all day like this does. Awesome product. Highly recommend.
