Foundation

This is one of my favourite foundations, I enjoy the longevity of it, it lasts all day for me and looks the same as when I apply it in the morning come the end of the day

Fantastically Fabulous Foundation

I don’t know what I did before I had this foundation! 15 hour staying power truly is no exaggeration of the truth. This is a very thick substance so it does feel quite heavy on the skin but if it is a flawless and long lasting complexion that you are after then you need this foundation in your life! Love love.

Tips: Be sure to remove properly – because this product is so heavy, this normally takes a cleansing wipe followed by your usual make up removal routine – so face wipe, face wash, toner, moisturiser.

excellent coverage

This foundation is one of my favorites altho it is not for everyone . I love having full coverage so works well for me it is quite a thick heavy foundation but when it drys it is quite light. It stays put quite well compared to cheaper brands. It is worth the price I feel as you don't need as much of this foundation to get the full coverage

Tips: Use a small amount and blend out then build up slowly. Can get cakey fast

Lives up to it's Hype

This foundation seemed to have everyone raving about it so I thought I'd give it a go - I was not at all disappointed! The coverage was what it was made out to be which is medium to full coverage. Because of the expected coverage I was thinking that the liquid itself would be extremely thick but it was surprisingly not. Definitely an easily build-able product that feels surprisingly light on the skin.

I tend to use this foundation only when going out at night as I feel more comfortable with a lighter coverage during the say. It is most definitely long wearing which makes me question what's in it that makes it so durable haha. Other than that, I feel it is worth every drop for the price you pay - some may argue that its too expensive but I only wear it on weekends so probably go through less than others.

Flawless Skin

Love this foundation. Gives great coverage medium to full. The consistency seems thick and heavy but when applied properly doesn't fell cakey and heavy on your skin. Minor faults I found 1.Removing it at the end of the day is a huge job. I tried many things but what worked the best was coconut oil. 2. Foundation lays on top of any small hair you have making them stand out a little. Regardless awesome foundation!

Tips: Apply with a sponge and it applies alot smoothly and has a much more natural look.

Clarins fan

I have used both this and clarins ever lasting and have to admit that the ever lasting is a bit nicer. I find the ever lasting quite cakey and can highlight dry skin. It certainly does stay on for 15+ hours though

Tips: Make sure that skin is thoroughly exfoliated and moisturised before wearing

double happy :)

Having problem skin, bumps and lumps and lines and pimples i was a bit worried this product would be a bit thick and wrong for my skin. I couldnt be more wrong! There are sooo many shades there is bound to be something perfect for every skin colour! It lasts a long time as only a small amount is needed and gives a complete full coverage. It is also very light wearing. Been using this product for a month or so now daily and was so thrilled with the products performance I purchased a full bottle before my sample was finished. I love not having to do touch ups!

Tips: Prime first! I prefer to blend with my fingers but you may prefer brush or sponge

Love love love

I'm in love! I have really oily skin, no matter if I prime or not my makeup nearly always slides off. This product does not! It stays in place all day, it controls the oil and stays matte (if I've added powder) all day/night. The product itself is quite runny, so I use the palm of my hand to hold the product before I place it onto my skin. You don't need a lot, so if you're like me and switch between foundation and BB/CC cream then it will last for months! The foundations blends out so well, and with medium to full coverage I've found I'm not needed as much concealer on those pesky spots. I've also found that although it sinks into my gigantic pores it does not into my fine lines around my eyes. This is a perfect foundation for anyone... I can't recommend this enough.

Tips: Use a brush to apply to your face/neck and then a sponge to blend it out :)

just not for me

I had to , HAD TO purchase this "go to" foundation after seeing so much positive feed back about it. I have always had a slight problem with makeup not staying putt and melting off my face half way through the day or becoming patchy and uneven in certain areas ESPECIALLY LIQUID, so I took a risk buying DW, annnnnd it disappointed me, it would look good for about an hour after it began to get patchy and oily. Its as hard as it is to put on to take off , after wearing it for a couple of days ( in hope it would just work) I began to break out, with red an rash looking bumps around my chin and cheeks . I am so glad this foundation has saved some of your beauties face days , but it just didn't work for me :(

Tips: Use a stippling brush to apply .

Worth the price!

I can't say that i own this personally but i will admit to sneakily 'borrowing' my flatmates every now and then! I first used this when Estee Lauder were advertising their 10-day trial. This foundation stays on ALL day. No lies. You can wear this all day, go to the gym, sweat and it will not budge. Honest. It gives such a flawless complexion and doesn't look cakey if applied right. If only this wasn't so expensive I would be using this every day!

Tips: Don't use too much as there is a fine line before it comes cakey and no one wants that! A little bit goes a long way.
