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!
I took the plunge and brought it! best decision ive ever made! its the ultimate foundation and worth every scent (i paid $82). It literally doesnt budge at all. Stays perfect throughout the whole day and i dont even need to set it with a powder. The finish is flawless, and covers everything and i dont even need to build up the coverage. One layer looks perfect. Im just so happy with the product and will be forking out the $82 again without hesitation
Tips: Ive been applying it with my sigma F80 and it buffs and blends it in perfectly
After trying numerous foundations and finding that I would have to touch then up while I work I decided to give double wear a go after hearing so much about it! I was matched and given samples to try and fell in love! I love a fuller coverage foundation as my skin can have quite a red undertone so this foundation is perfect for me and it stays put all day with nearly any touch up required if you wish to wear it during the night.
Tips: Moisturise and use primer for easier application and buff using a flat kabuki burgs or stippling brush
After using the same old foundation for years and it really not doing anything for me i decided to go in to a Estee Lauder counter and get myself a sample after seeing and hearing such rave reviews. After being colour matched and trialing out the sample i was in love! It covered all my imperfections and blemishes without using a concealer. And you guessed right i bought myself a bottle!!
Tips: Use a stippling brush and a little goes a long way,
If you are still undecided about buying go to your closest Estee Lauder counter and get one of the lovely girls to match you and give you a sample :)
Great cover and stays on. Not what I use for an everyday foundation but great for special occasions and nights out.
I had heard really good things about this foundation from friends and on here but I was skeptical, and at $80-$90 a bottle I was kind of hoping the hype was exaggerated! I went to my local Farmers and did a colour match and free application as well as go a free sample to use over the next week. I fell in love instantly. The coverage is incredible and it really does stay all day! I use a primer underneath to help but really I can put this on at 6 in the morning, work all day in a hot, sweaty environment and then go out that night with no need for another application. No matter what time I get home my skin will still look great! I live that. I bought mine off strawberrynet.co.nz for $55 and after checking it beside my sample from farmers, it really is the exact same so no worries on fakes as some people claim. Brilliant product!
My main issue it that the bottle does not have a pump or any other control device so I often end up pouring far too much :( heartbreaking with the cost of it!
Tips: NOT for people with dry skin! And everyone else still needs to maintain a good skin care routine. Moisturise, use a primer and setting powder, make sure you wash it ALL off at night!
Also use a brush to apply; sponges just soak up the liquid and you will waste a lot, fingers don't blend as well. Invest in good tools for a great result!
by far the BEST foundation i have used to date. A perfect smooth, flawless coverage that lasts & lasts & lasts!!! My bottle has lasted me 4 months so far & thats wtih daily use. PERFECT!!
Tips: Best used with a primer & powder to finish.
This sounds like an exaggeration, but I swear it's true. At least once a week, someone will comment on my skin and ask what I use. This product is the reason!
For once, here's a long-lasting foundation that does what it says it does: I apply it at 5am when I leave to go for work - and when I go to bed at 10.30pm it is still on and looking great!
I love that it doesn't come off on my clothes, and I love its coverage.
Two things to be aware of: it is a very drying product (out of necessity), so a good moisturiser is a must. And it's a good idea to double-cleanse - it is so effective that a single cleanse doesn't get rid of it all.
Pretty pricey, but for me, worth every penny. Once on - it stays on.
Tips: Use a foundation brush for truly flawless results
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.
I fall in and out of love with this product!
I find this quite a full coverage foundation and tend to only wear this going out of an evening.
This does leave you looking flawless and have worn it a few times for photo shoots.. tends to photograph well without giving without. This may look too heavy for day wear and or summer. The colour options are limited and this is quite expensive but does last a long time.
I may try this product again over winter and try to apply with my Sigma Flat Kabuki.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting a full coverage matte look.. colour selections limited so make sure the colour is right for you. Its a lot of money to get the wrong colour and be unhappy.
Tips: I would recommend wearing this for a day before purchasing to make sure you are happy with colour and coverage
