Super long wearing and bullet proof!

This foundation is great if you want something that is going to stay in place all day and not move! They also have a great colour range. Amazing for oily skin and normal skin, but I don't think I would recommend it for people with dry skin, unless you use a moisturising primer first because it is prone to cling onto and emphasising dry patches.

It is a little expensive in NZ, but I think it is worth it - I personally use it only for special occasions because I don't want such full coverage for everyday wear, so one bottle will last me awhile.

Tips: Exfoliate and use a moisturising primer first!

Love this foundation!!!

This foundation would have to be one of my holy grail high end foundations. I love the way it looks on my skin, how easy it is to blend out and that it defiantly lasts all day for me and I have combination skin. It does get slightly oily in my T-zone area but not as much as my other foundations. Its around medium-full coverage and you can build it up without your foundation looking to cakey or heavy which I like personally, the only thing I dont like about the foundation is that it doesnt come with a pump which bothers me as the foundation does come running out quite fast so you will have excess product on your hand.

Tips: Try to pour out the foundation very slowly as it is quite runny or you can use clean cotton tips to scoop the product out of the bottle.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place

The bottle is sleek and feels expensive. Its full coverage with a great range of colours. It definitely stays on all day and night long, which is why I personally only use this foundation for special occasions. If skin isn't prepped before hand (moisturized) it can feel a little dry on the face and cling to dry patches. Leaves the skin feeling smooth and silky.

Tips: Clean face and moisturizer before applying for a flawless finish

Wear it and forget the stress

I have used this foundation and just love it. It stays on for ever without smudging and gives excellent cover. It has kept me fearless during hectic time at work without the stress of thinking how my makeup looks like in the afternoon or towards the end of the day. It keeps me fresh throughout the day and no touch up is needed. I will recommend the product to anyone who wants to have a fearless full cover foundation for the active days of their life. You will love it too.

Tips: Sometimes you can mix 2 covers to get your skin tone if unable to find your perfect match

DoubleWear, Estee Lauder

A fantastic foundation, it is long wearing lasts all day and has a great selection of colours, if you ask they will usually give you a couple of samples to take away to make sure you get the colour right.

Great Wedding Foundation

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 full coverage

I love the coverage of this foundation. It goes on flawlessly every time. It hides my redness which is a must for any foundation I use, I have a very red nose and cheeks. I struggle to find a foundation that looks good throughout the day. But this foundation has been one of my go to foundations for awhile now because of its lasting results. Beautiful texture and smell isn’t to strong. Price is a little up there that’s why I’ve given it 4/5. I feel you can get similar foundations for abit cheaper.

Tips: Prime well.

Amazing coverage but a little cakey

I love this foundation if you're after a full coverage however I did find it a little cakey and by the end of the day it showed parts of my skin that may have been dry. But overall great foundation.

Great full coverage foundation

I used the Double Wear foundation for years in my early twenties. I loved the full coverage and that a little went a long way. Now in my early thirties I have recently repurchased this foundation aftera few years trying other products. Unfortunately my ‘normal’ skin is now on the drier side and I have fine lines around my eyes and forehead. I found that the foundation is now too matte for my skin type and exaggerated the dry spots and lines. I hope Estée Lauder releases a similar product more suitable for dryer skin tones. In saying that, I still recommend to my normal-oily skinned friends!

Tips: Mixing a couple of drops of Urban Decay facial oil to this foundation enabled it to sit more nicely on my skin but it did reduce the coverage.

After all the years yet to find anything better

Estee lauder and Clinique are my favorite foundations hands down and worth the price point..(I believe the companies are related)

This is the only make up that i have ever tried that remains at the end of the day. There isn't a full face left but there's usually nothing. So for me that's a huge plus.

There is no scent which I like as find some foundations smell strange and bothers me all day

Not a huge fan of the glass bottle, have broken a brand new one before which was heart breaking given the cost. Also for general use it's hard to use. There is a pump you can purchase but it's pretty pricey

Over all a huge staple and everytime I try another product I'm drawn back as this is superior foundation. I try and time with the gifts with purchase promotions

Tips: Ensure you have a great product to remove it in the evening ie a cleansing oil or something designed for water proof make up. Double cleansing after would also be my recommendation

Buy the pump to get the foundation out
