I love this foundation! Have been using it for about three years and have had no breakouts or issues while using it. I love the full coverage it provides and that it actually stays on day and night. It is easy to apply and drys quickly.

Tips: This drys really fast so work on half your face first before doing the other side. Apply with a foundation brush or beauty sponge and if you require a flawless finish set with a powder.
I bought this foundation after reading many great reviews. I have VERY pale skin so bought the shade "bone" but I found the undertones were still slightly yellow for my liking. The coverage is amazing and FULL but if you are applying with a beauty blender it needs to be barely damp and work in areas or else it drys really fast and ends up cakey. I also didn't like that it really brought out all my little facial hairs. I think this foundation is a great choice for those who want really full coverage, or for a glam night look!
I have pigmentation on my face from last six years and I have tried so many foundation.if I get coverage then end up with patchy skin but this foundation fulfil my all requests. I get lovely covers and perfect shade . This foundation is bit expensive but worth every single penny .
Tips: Foundation dries so quick so work on each area one by one . don’t apply foundation on full face and then blend .
This foundation has been a staple in my small cosmetics collection, I can't count how many I've been through (including a smashed brand new bottle). I wore this daily when working full time in a busy hotel and it would stay in place for up to a 16 hour shift!
I prefer the finish once it has had about an hour to settle into the skin and looks a bit more natural. It covers my blemishes and redness perfectly and keeps them hidden for as long as I need. I dont have any issue removing the foundation, generally I'd use a micellar water followed up with whatever cleanser I have on the go.
Tips: Be careful with the bottle! Particularly on tiled floors :(
This is my go to when I want a bit more coverage for photos. It's medium coverage so it can look thick in person, but very long lasting. There is a bit of a damp smell at first when applying and then it settles into your skin. I find the shades a bit cold in tone generally, but I don't mind it as I like to look a little paler and the cold tone helps.
Tips: Use a setting powder as it does move around a bit.
I've now been using double wear for a few years. It has stayed by my side during a torrential downpour, a sweaty festival and an impromptu summer swim. Its staying power will long outlast any other and they are constantly expanding their colour range. Its a bit pricey if I'm honest but that the price you pay for a near perfect foundation I guess!!
I recently took a trip to farmers back at the start of January looking for a new foundation to wear for an event, I wanted to it be full coverage, last all day and not leave marks on people as I gave them a hug!
I have tried this foundation before back in my early 20s and to be honest I never really took much notice of it. Whacked it on my face and called it a day. However I do remember it always being an absolute flawless finish. My skin has changed since my 20s so I was curious to see how my skin would like it now 10 years on.
I wanted to do it right so went and and had a consultation with the Estee Lauder sales lady? and she was kind enough to colour match me like I had asked. However I wasn't sold on it just with a wee swatch on my face so she kindly did a full face for me so I could be sure I really wanted to buy the product. Not only did she do a full face but she sent me home with a sample. Regardless I purchased it then and there on the spot after having it applied.
The one thing I noticed straight away was actually how buildable the foundation was without it looking cakey. To start off with we did a light application that could easily be worn as a day to day face and then she built it up so it was MAX coverage. I have quite large pores and was super impressed with how well it sat on my face without making my pores look grossly enlarged.
The day of the event I chose a full coverage application and it really did not budge all day! It didn't smudge or smear or Mark anyone's tops as I hugged them. It was a sweltering hot day too and it didn't melt or look oily throughout the day. I did wear a setting spray to help the longevity of the product of course.
One thing I disagree with this product is that it states its a semi matte. I honestly think this is just a straight matte finish. On my skin it feels and looks matte. However it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and the finish really is beautiful. I 10/10 will be re purchasing this product when I run it. It's reliable and it's beautiful on the skin, I feel like my skin has matured alot since my early 20s, now being in my early 30s it still looked flawless.
Tips: I'm not sure if you can buy a pump for the top of the bottle? But if it exists I 100% recommend getting one to make getting the product out a little easier and to avoid mess!
Been using this foundation for countless years. I still have this in my make up collection constantly. I usually only use it these days if it’s a hot day (knowing I may sweat) or if I know I need my make up to last the entire day and into the night
Tips: It can be hard to work with as once it’s on it’s on there is no movement !
Love how this double wear feels when it's on I feel like a new me..it gives me that coverage i need and not only that it's long lasting.
Tips: Apply with beauty blender
Having used this for the last ten or so years it's always been my go to. You don't need to use much whatsoever, so a little goes a long way and it is 'double long wear' - you can go to work in the morning; go out to dinner; get home and accidentally fall asleep in your makeup then wake up with it still sat there like a trooper the next morning. The only downside is that it tends to be a bit drying in winter and you may have to add some moisturizing serum to it in order for it to stay looking fresh.
Tips: You have to apply onto your skin relatively quickly and blend out as it tends to settle and dry quite quickly. If this happens and you try to put more on and blend it can appear a bit muddy looking.
