I have been using this for the last 4 years, that's how much love and trust I have for this foundation and I haven't used any other foundation since. I have combination skin which sometimes gets a bit oily on the T zone, but this foundation never wipes off!!! That's how much staying power it has and doesn't make my skin oily. Just like the brand states that it has 15 hours staying power and is flawless, and trust me its does what it says. It was always difficult for me to find the perfect shade for my yellow brown Indian tone skin, and the shade 3W1 is the exact shade, and doesn't oxidize. I have been complimented so many times about how fresh I look even after 12 hours of applying the foundation. So I will definitely say to you ladies out theres is to go for it and become a new devotee of this foundation.

Tips: Apply with a kabuki or stripling foundation brush and apply small amounts (2 drops) and slowly build up as per your requirements.
I came to try this product after researching full coverage long wear foundations and this product came up again and again. I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. It's great coverage but still looks beautiful and natural. It doesn't look flat or cakey and it doesn't settle into my pores! I have oiky/combo skin prone to cystic acne and enlarged pores, this provided great coverage and stayed a natural velvet finish most of the day (without setting powder or spray). Lasts amazingly when paired with setting powder and spray. So far this is the best foundation I've found for my skin that lasts and provides great coverage without being too heavy.
I absolutely adore this foundation, it provides a really lovely finish on my skin, and lasts all day and night. I have sensitive skin and have never had any problems and it doesn't cause any break outs on my skin.
Tips: For day wear apply 1 thin layer, for night wear apply an additional layer for that night look.
I've recently started using this foundation again after a hiatus of a few years and I'm really glad I did!
I have dry skin, so I generally prefer a more hydrating foundation with a dewy-er finish, however my workplace is HOT and I needed something that would survive the heat this summer, so I went back to Doublewear. For a more natural look, but still with great coverage I find 1 layer enough, but is easy to build up for full coverage.
This foundation is very matte, and it lasts forever! I just finished a 9 hour shift and it still looks great, doesn't crack around my nose like most foundations do.
Packaging is a nice glass bottle, however it does not come with a pump (can purchase separately for $15) which is kinda annoying since the price has gone up to $72 as well.
Tips: For dryer skin, I prefer application with a beauty blender after using a nice rich moisturiser.
I purchased this for my recent wedding after recommendations from friends and after reading reviews on here.
The foundation comes in a glass rectangular bottle which unfortunately does not have a pump. I have been told that you can pay extra for a pump but due to the large cost already I decided not to go with it.
My skin is combination with a mix of oily and dry patches. I used a sponge to apply this and found it was a nice Matt finish. I applied a layer to my skin with the sponge and found that one layer was enough and that I didn’t have to build it up at all. The make up lasted all throughout the day and did not rub off onto my dress or fade away during the day. I did not have to top up my foundation during the day and found that my skin was nice and flawless in the photos. My skin was not shiny or uneven.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a long lasting and full coverage from there foundation.
Tips: This is an amazing wedding foundation. With a flawless and smooth finish.
Very thick long last coverage. Great for hiding pimples, blemishes and scars. I absolutely loved it but it is on the pricey side.
Tips: Moisturize well beforehand as i found it dried my skin out. Make sure you wash it off well after using as I've heard others say it can cause breakouts- personally never happened to me.
After trying multiple brands I have found my holy grail. I have acne scarred skin so I require a matte full coverage foundation. Unfortunately for me I do not like the cake look so a lot of foundations I tried in the past made me look like a porcelain doll with cracks. Then I discovered this foundation. Medium - full coverage which is light and silky. It moves with my skin and doesnt give the cakey look. Once dried putting powder over top is just a breeze and the foundation does what it says - lasts all day!
Tips: Use a beauty blender for perfect coverage
I love this foundation! It applies beautifully and is the only one I have ever used that lasts all day without budging. No need to reapply half way through the day. No need for setting powder or spray with this one too.
Covers my imperfections and evens skin tone so that my skin looks smooth and even. And I never have any problem with controlling shine as I do with other brands.
Other great feature is you can build the foundation to get greater coverage if needed.
Tips: It does sort of set shortly after applying so don't work it in to the skin for too long or it can cause a little streaking.
I have been using this foundation for a few years now and I can not find anything better, I love this foundation. This is one of the only foundations I have found that does exactly what it says. It has amazing coverage, covering all my imperfections. Applies beautifully and lasts the day, no need to reapply at any point of the day or night.
A small amount goes a long way and covers the whole face
Tips: If you are looking for full coverage use a beauty blender to build a flawless finish
This foundation has always look flawless on, high coverage which lasts all day or night. Doesn't even feel that heavy for such a good coverage! Never had any issues with flashback in photos either :)
