DW foundation

I personally think there are better long wear foundations out there. I have been trying a sample of this over the past few days and my skin has broken out in huge pimples around my neck and nose. Thanks goodness I asked to have a tester to use before I purchased it. However I did fine that it stayed on and didn't appear to wear off like some other foundations, there certainly was no need for me to use a primer which I always use with my colour stay, but can't say that the colour stay wouldn't stay on without a primer either (I have just always used one).

Tips: Always ask for a tester before buying any foundation as you need to be able to wear if a few times to see if it is going to cause break outs or if the colour changes over the day.

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays put

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays exactly where you put it without smudging, budging or sweating off from humidity.

This is my favorite go to foundation when i need to wear something thats going to last the entire day and night. It goes on smooth and lasts all day and night just like it promises. Being fair skinned it can be hard for me to find a foundation that works well with my skin tone and this one does.It is the only foundation I have found that give me a flawless finish. I have some pigmentation and it covers them very well without concealer. This doesn't make me breakout and looks and feels great.

A little bit really goes a long way and a whole bottle will last me months and months. I dont wear it on my entire face daily as i do find that my skin starts to dry out, so its more an "occasion" foundation, however i do use it daily on my nose as thats the area of my face that looses foundation the quickest. I set my foundation with my Dr Hauschka setting powder, which helps it to last even longer and gives a great finish.

The downside is: it's expensive at $80.00 NZ a bottle and it doesn't come with a pump which would be nice. But since I love it so much, I will continue to buy it when i run out.

One of my favourite foundations

My 2nd favourite foundation, i love the coverage & how a little goes a long way, the downfall i have is when i reapply it later during the day you can see the colors dont match up leaving my skin looking patchy (unlike mac pro long), other than that if i dont need to reapply after a busy day it is great

Tips: Some estee lauder stores will match your skin and give you a free sample to take away with you which is great!

My "Special Occasion" Foundation

This foundation has quickly become my go-to for nights out and special occasions. I have actually been complimented on my foundation quite a few times while wearing this out.

I really like it because it's full coverage but doesn't break me out, and doesn't look cakey or powdery or at all heavy, even in the harshest of light.

The colour I have matches me perfectly and I've only ever heard great things about it :)

Tips: Unfortunately, this is not a good choice for anyone who can't justify spending $80 on a foundation. So so worth it though.

Great coverage

At first I wasn't sure if I liked this foundation. I had a play around with it and fell in love with it. Its probably one of the best foundations (apart from one other) that actually does it what it says. Gives great coverage, doesn't feel cakey or heavy. Unfortunately I always seem to find the products I really like are really expensive.

Tips: I use a stippling brush instead of a beauty blender or sponge as I find it uses less product that way.

Great for a full coverage and a night out

I find this foundation amazing and I have been using it since I was 17 (6 years). I have well and truly tested this product and I find it stays on really well and gives you that flawless professional finish that you see in all of the magazine's. I love a full coverage and this foundation goes above and beyond. This is the only foundation that hasn't moved and creased a lot when I've been out at night. Highly recommend this for all of you people who love a flawless finish.

Tips: Not for people who don't like a full coverage. Always try before you buy!! Also make sure you blend it out well.

Estee Lauder DB

I only got this the other day but I absolutely love it, it doesn't smudge or change color you dont even need a setting powder, i find that when photographed the foundation looks alot whiter than in person, so i wouldnt recommend this for evenings (because of lighting) or for photos

THE BEST FOUNDATION. EVER.

I cannot rave enough about this foundation and recommend it to everyone! Great coverage, great colours and great lasting power! I wore double wear while at a wedding in Rarotonga and my foundation stayed beautiful all day!

Tips: Go get colour matched at Farmers or Unichem and you can get a 10 day trial.

You will never use another!

This foundation IS on the costly side, but, there's a reason for it. Perfect coverage, SPF included, no surprise colours at the end of the day. I can't thank Estee enough for creating this fabulous product. Honestly...invest!

Tips: A light bronzer (using a kaiuku brush) polishes off the already flawless look perfectly!

Absolutely Perfect!

I have a fair bit of acne on my face, but not to a point where it's severe. I find most foundations and BB creams leave those weird circle crust things around some of my zits, but not this foundation! It covered everything, and had a flawless finish. Very pricey, so I'm not sure I could afford using this regularly, but I would recommend this as a true cosmetic investment. Definitely a "special occasion" foundation.

Tips: Make sure to set this foundation with a good powder, as I find it has a very shiny finish for me, as I have combination skin. It has a thick coverage, so it's important to blend very well also. I would recommend using brushes or any relevant tools to apply this.
