Excellent long lasting foundation

This foundation gives a comprehensive, matte finish and lasts all day.

Before using this product I recommend getting a colour test to ensure you have the right colour for your skin tone. I have pale, sensitive skin and it has taken a bit of work to get the colour right. Thankfully the makeup counters sent me home with a few test pots!

The product goes on quite thick and isn't very moisturising, so applying a good moisturiser underneath is essential for drier skin like mine.

Finishing with a powder helps the look last longer.

The product comes in a glass bottle and has quite a wide opening. I prefer to put a little on the back of my hand and apply gradually as the foundation is quite thick. Best applied with a sponge/brush then touched up with fingers.

This product really is good bang for your buck - I wear makeup most days and a bottle can last at least six months. I also recommend getting the double wear concealer to complement this purchase.

Tips: Get the right colour before buying, apply gradually and use a moisturiser and powder.

Double Wear Foundation

For a long time now, I have relied heavily on this foundation for long wear and good coverage. While I'm a bit disappointed with their change in formula (the old double wear was way better), I still use this one (in toasty toffee). The foundation stays on pretty well, if applied properly. This usually means starting with a good skin care routine, allowing the moisturiser to settle, before quickly and evenly applying the foundation and blending it well. It provides some SPF, 15 I think, which is good for day to day use. I think this product is particularly awesome for travelling long haul. Even though it might be drying as heck, it stays on throughout the flight, and all you need to do once you hope off the plane, is to have a glass of water, apply some clear eyes, a touch of blusher or bronzer and voila! its like you've just applied your make up. Really good planning ahead, just in case you fall asleep and DON'T want your foundation to move/ rub off. Speaking of which, you might need an oil based make up remover to get this off. Otherwise, its a double cleansing routine with a strong foam. Highly recommend this product for those of you who like your foundation to stay on!

Tips: Give your skin a break every once in a while, and use a lighter/ more breathable foundation, as Double Wear can block your skin up with daily use. Include an exfoliator in your regular routine too in order to maintain a healthy skin.

Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation

I love this foundation. It has really nice coverage and it's not too heavy. I would definitely recommend to someone who likes a creamy textured foundation. Partner it up with a good setting powder and it's beautiful!

Tips: Use a good cleanser when taking off your makeup as it seems to hold on and it'll clog your pores and you'll break out if you don't get it all off.

Inlove need to buy fullsize

I went to the pharmacy and got my free sample and have completely fallen inlove with this foundation. It gives such even coverage and blends so easy with my real techniques buffing brush. Last all day without any touch ups. Will be saving up to get the fullsize foundation, something I need in my life.

Tips: I found my brush gave the best coverage rather than my beauty blender

Finally something that hides my freckles!

I have so many freckles and although i don't mind them sometimes I still want something to cover them up, this was GREAT! My skin is being super sensitive and i have tried 5 other foundations that made me explode in pimples so i stopped wearing foundation for awhile until I got a sample of this double wear. Personally I don't wear a primer and it stayed on just fine. Off to buy it tomorrow!

Tips: Don't underestimate this product, a little bit goes a long way!!

Great full coverage

I love this foundation for when I'm going out at night time! Especially as it's full coverage, covering all my acne and freckles amazingly! It lasts a long time without any oily patches anywhere unlike alot of other foundations on me, great colour selection! Quite pricey though so use sparingly! (Although you never need much anyway)

Tips: If you have dry skin definitely moisturise as it's matte finish :)

Excellent Product!

This product does exactly what it says it will do. I've always struggled with foundations rubbing off on my clothing and this foundation really stays put. It's definitely on the pricey side, but well worth the money if you're looking for a foundation that will stay on all day with no touch ups, then definitely invest.

Tips: If you're looking for full coverage, make sure you apply little by little and slowly build it up instead of putting on one thick layer

Amazing!!

I absolutely love this foundation! I don't use it everyday as I do find it is quite heavy, so it's perfect for a night out!

Tips: A little goes a long way!
