My Search is finally complete!!

Love Love Love!!! Need I say more?

As a darker skin toned woman I have searched for the perfect foundation for me for years!! And while on my search I unfortunately wasted a lot of money too :( but No More because I have found the one!!

This foundation has great coverage. Does not oxidise. Great colour selection. Absolutely does not transfer. Good consistency. I mean I just dunno if theres any fault in this foundation!! Please try it and you won't be disappointed. Its very easy to get a sample which lasts forever. I mean the price is a bit hefty but its worth it.

My search is finally over.

Im in love :)

Worth the hype

This foundation is ridiculous. It actually stayed on my face from 6am to midnight without budging. It's sweat proof and quite water proof. The coverage is amazing and it just erased my flaws without the need for concealer. A little bit goes a long way. I only used a tiny bit for my entire face. From what I know and saw, the colour selection is nice too. The only cons I see are the price and the difficulty in removing it. It gave me few little pimples here and there when I wore it a few days consecutively, although I'm sure it was because I couldn't remove it with just normal makeup remover. But definitely worth the hype in my opinion.

Holy Grail

the first time i used this foundation was when they were giving out those 10 day samples, and i must say, that sample lasted me around 2 weeks, meaning that you dont need a lot of foundation when you are applying it. I did purchase it from smith and caugheys in auckland because i was in love with it so much. Here's why:

you dont need a primer with this foundation because it literally sticks to you like glue. My face was flawless all day, whether i went to the beach or if i stayed inside all day. i didn't get any breakouts, but if you have oily skin, i recommend that you don't use this one because the foundation traps all those natural oils under it, thus causing breakouts.

its a little hard to remove, but if you give your face a massage with rosehip oil, it comes off quite easily.

Tips: squirt one pump (i used mac pump) onto back of hand and then use your fingers to dot the foundation on your face, Then use a damp beautyblender or a buffing brush to lend it all in

Solid

I have not tried very many foundations, but I quite like this. You do have to work very, very qiuckly with it but it does not feel heavy at all on my skin and sometimes I forget I am wearing makeup. My only 'gripe' is that it does not last very well on my nose but sticks like glue everywhere else. It is a bit of a pain to remove (I use a makeup wipe then I double cleanse), but at the end of the day I would recommend to others. I think it's also good value for money too (otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it..)

Tips: I do my face in sections, I stipple it on and then use my beauty blender to blend it out.

100% in love

I've never been much of a foundation wearer but after suffering from hormonal acne, this has been my go to product. The texture is incredible and colour match really great. It is often hard to find the perfect colour, but my personal experience using double wear has made it easy to match. I do however admit i like to set my foundation with a light bronzer only because of habit. You actually do not need to do this. I often have problems with excess oil in the summer time. Estee Lauder gives me the confidence to wear during any season.

Tips: Use a good quality brush to apply. I recommend Real Technique sold cheapest on Iherb.com.

Love it!

I recently purchased this foundation after reading about it on BR. I work outdoors and don't wear makeup on a daily basis so up until this point I had just used cheaper light foundations but got sick of them not staying in place and looking very average so I decided to treat myself. I am beyond happy with this product! Its easy to apply, looks great and lasts all day/night! I get such a confidence boost wearing this foundation and with great coverage it means I dont need to use concealer with it.

Love it but prefer a pump

This is the first foundation that hasn't let me down. Usually ill love a foundation but as my skin changes and adjusts to the climate (winter=dry/summer=oily) i will get over it as it didnt work as well as before. With this foundation i found that no matter how my skin is the foundation never budges smears or transfers i am totally in love with this foundation and will probably be for the rest of my life. the main thing i love about this foundation is that its water resistant for example i wore it to the beach one time and i wasn't going to go swimming but eventually i did and when i came out it was still in place and looked like i just applied it. Only thing i wish it had a pump because i waste a lot by pouring too much or not enough. the bottle is small however it is 30ml and that is the normal amount in most foundations.

Its definitely my holy grail foundation.

High coverage, beautiful finish

This foundation is amazing for achieving that flawless skin look when your skin is not so flawless. I have adult acne and scarring and all sorts of terrible stuff going on, but this stuff makes my skin look amazing. The product goes a really long way and blends really well and I find the shades to be a lot more natural than some other brands of foundation - in other words more like skin colouring than various shades or yellow/pink.

Tips: Application technique really makes a huge difference to finish. I recommend using a thick flat top foundation brush to apply. Also for a more natural skin look use a reflective primer underneath eg MAC Strobe Cream.

I'm In Love!!!

So I have been hearing about every woman and her cat raving about this product forever and I feel like I'm the last person in the world to finally try it... Why did I wait???!!!

I am so impressed by this beautiful product!! I have ridiculously oily skin and am forever on the hunt for a product that does not slide off my face by lunch time... Ladies, I have found my Holy grail foundation!

This is a surprisingly liquidy product for something that gives such a beautiful full coverage, I have been applying it with a flat topped make up brush and it is the perfect coverage for me. The coverage and finish of this product is excellent, it glides on smoothly, it gives excellent coverage, the colour is perfect and it lasts all day with just a little touch up of powder throughout.

I am currently using it with the BECCA oil free primer (which is also amazing) and setting it with the Ben Nye powder in Cameo - this has to be the most perfect combination ever!!

Tips: Get a pump from the counter for about $15 so you don't waste any product!
