Very Heavy but Delivers

This is a pricey foundation but if you're after something that Will. Not. Budge.and are willing to spend a little extra (and I think it's worth it) then this could be for you.

I haven't scored this as high as it probably deserves because for me and my combination extremely dry/pimply skin it was a tad too greasy.

It's definitely not a product I would use as my everyday foundation for my trips to playgroup and the supermarket. For a big event or (admittedly rare) night out however, it's ideal.

It does not lie, it will stay in place. In this day and age keeping your word in the world of marketing is not something to be sniffed at.

Tips: If you're going to use a high end product, especially foundation, it's vital you spend a little on the right tools and preparation to maximise the performance. This means invest in a good primer and a decent foundation brush or sponge. Slapping this over your cheap mousturiser with your bare fingers is just disrespectful.

It doesnt move!

Great cover and stays on. Not what I use for an everyday foundation but great for special occasions and nights out.

Almost holy grail...

I love the coverage of this foundation, and that it dries nicely and doesn't rub off much. Still haven't found the right shade (not olive enough) even though there are lots of shades! I usually prefer foundations that are lighter in texture but this works well. Definitely expensive though, but should last a while since you don't use much to cover your face.

Tips: I think using my fingers works as well as brushes!

My first expensive foundation

This was given to me as a gift from two of my Aunties. I was quite excited to try this as it is an expensive foundation but I hate to say it, I think I have found a better one than this... The one thing I can remember about this foundation is that I wasnt too fond of the feeling it had on the skin throughtout the day. However it did give me full coverage, lasted all day and it does have more of a yellow undertone which I liked as it did help cover my redness due to my problematic skin. But for those of you who have more of a cooltone vampy pale skin, it may not suit as it may give you a mask affect if not blended properley. I would like to give this foundation another go as my techniques with make up have gotten better since I used this foundation last and I do remember enjoying it, It was just the feeling it left on my skin I didnt like but wether or not that was a technique error of mine or the product itself Im not too sure? I believe that expensive foundations are worth the money so it may have just been me not knowing how to use it properley ;)

Tips: I would love to see how this foundation goes with a beauty blender or one of the dupes. If any of you know please comment below :) x

Great foundation but......

I love this foundation, my skin has acne scarring and redness and the foundation covers it all up!

The staying power is fantastic, if I was to wear it out clubbing, parties etc it would never let me down! Makes your skin look flawless and youthful!

BUT!!... The colour range isn't the best, I have fair skin and I got the shade in sand beige, the lady who tried it on me said it was my shade, but I had a make up line and my neck was white, I was not impressed!! I find there foundations more orange toned..

Overall this is a great foundation except for the colour range :)

Tips: Apply quickly with foundation brush as it tends to dry fast :)

Perfect for everyday

Lightweight and thin to medium consistency, this foundation is perfect for everyday wear and it stays onto my face all day. I find it very challenging to find the right shade for my skin tone but the trick is to try to opt for the shade closest to your skin tone. For me, I've chosen the lighter shade and I used my bronzer to sculpt my cheekbones for better definition.

Tips: Use a buffing foundation brush for application. For first time user, it best to ask for a sample at the counter before committing in a full size bottle.

Used this for many years

Until I discoverd mineral makeup, this was my 'go to' foundation. I still use it underneath my mineral if I feel like I need extra coverage from time to time. I love how it lasts on my skin, is easy to apply, goes on well, covers well and keeps my skin shine free all day.

Great long wear foundation

I thought after many years of wearing revlon foundation I needed a change, My friend recommended me Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK. This foundation lasts all day!, Doesn't smudge, Doesn't wear off and blends like a dream. So happy with this foundation that I will probably buy again and again!

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.
