I love this foundation. It’s my go to going out one, and I haven’t ever found anything that’s as good and will stay on my skin as long as this does. I’ve tried high end and cheap foundations and this one is my absolute favourite.

Tips: A little goes a long way! Use a really good makeup remover & make sure you cleanse twice when washing your face to make sure every little bit is off your face and not stuck in your pores.
This Fondation is amazing! Just half a pump onto a beauty blender is enough for this foundation to melt beautifully into your skin leaving you with the perfect base. The consistency nice a liquidy but not runny and has a nice scent.
Tips: Lasts a very long time!
I've been using Estee Lauder double wear (Fresco) for 8 years now after my Mum introduced me to it. I haven't purchased any other brands of foundation since! The coverage is perfect and hides imperfections and fine lines with ease. It is easy to apply, not sticky and the consistency is light, lasting all day and night without having to reapply. Although pricey it is absolutely worth it, 1 bottle will last me at least 6 months as a little goes a long way. In my opinion it is the best on the market.
Tips: Look out for when it is on sale if you're unable to afford the full price, or to give it a try you can visit an Estee Lauder counter and try it for yourself. You will not regret it!
I'm going against the grain here, but Double Wear didn't work for me. It's very high coverage and I found even though I applied very little, it emphasised my dry patches. It also tended to look a bit cakey on me, especially once I set it with a light layer of powder. It's also very expensive with a lot of hype, so I expected it to look better. I stick with my Colourpop tinted moisturiser nowadays.
I’ve tried two or three colour shades and all have looked good on me with winter or summer fair colouring. It’s worth the money. Can sometimes combine with skincare and get a freebie bag of goodies.
Tips: Underneath, moisturise or sunscreen well at least two minutes before applying. This product will take it.
It’s taken many many years of trialling foundations. From liquid, to pancake, to powder and everything in between.
From the cheapest of the cheap, to the luxury brand’s. I’ve lost count on how many I’ve used!!!
And then about 3-4 years ago I found this foundation. It does everything it promises and more. It stays put for hours and leaves a beautiful dewy finish. It’s also incredibly versatile. Apply sparingly for a light finish, or build it up for maximum coverage
Tips: Best finish is achieved by applying with a sponge
This foundation is great for coverage and long wear. It’s definitely NOT a foundation for your everyday minimal/ fresh coverage gals out there! I find it similar to Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. It’s very matte and once dried- it’s heckin plastered there until you decide to take it off! It is expensive if you are using every day and power through it. Other than that, it does what it claims to do. Great for bridal or special events for photos being taken.
Tips: • Blend fast. • A more chilled out version of this is Loreal Hyaluronic True Match- has same matte/ clay look finish. • All the Arden counter workers say it doesn’t oxidise but it does. The darker the shade, the more it oxidises I have found (makeup artist working on diff skin tones).
After using a few different professional brands, I still wasn't satisfied with the coverage and the longevity of the product.
On my maiden voyage, setting sail to find the holy grail of foundation, I found reviews for this foundation. Uses were praising the coverage, how long it lasted and rejoicing in finding a foundation that was buildable AND flawless.
I had to try it.
I took off to the local stockiest who swathed me with different shades until we agreed on the correct shade. I was thrilled.
This is the best foundation I have ever used in my LIFE. The coverage is amazing - a little goes a long way. The best part is that you can touch your face and the foundation doesn't come away. It sticks like gum in your hair. At the end of the day the product is still flawless, albeit a little worse for wear around the nose.
The price is a little bit up there but I fully believe it was worth every cent. I also walked away with a little gift with purchase which included a small mascara which now lives in my car for those touch-up moments. Don't underestimate the usefulness of those little trial products.
Tips: I use a brush and it goes on very well.
This product is amazing
Great coverage A small amount goes a long way.
For me the price point is too high to use it often. but is worth it for a nice foundation
Tips: If you have dry skin it's not for you as it sticks to dry patches
I love this foundation. I have been using this foundation for years and it is one of my favourite foundations! It is a full coverage foundation that is very long lasting. For example, I will put it on at 6am and take it off at 9pm and my makeup has stayed perfect all day. My makeup always looks flawless. I will continue to keep repurchasing this foundation.
Tips: It is more on the expensive side, so make sure to look out for when it is on sale or when they have the buy two products and get a free gift set deal.
