It's a pretty good foundation. The coverage is my favorite feature of the product, as it covers and conceals most discoloration. Depending on the amount of product used it can serve as a light to medium coverage product. The matte finish is another notable feature, that gives a flat, even finish that works well for photos or on stage. However, despite being made for normal to oily skin, the foundation will start to feel greasy after a couple of hours of wear. Your smile lines and areas around your nose will become very apparent too as the foundation wears down in these areas. Having said that, the rest of the foundation will stay put for a good 8 hours with one or two touch ups. I also found that when applying to the drier areas of my face (despite having just moisturized and while applying with a damp beauty blender) it made my skin very dry.

Tips: For dry areas use a super hydrating primer. Applying with a sponge will give the best, matte finish for this product, using a foundation brush will dry your skin and make the finish look streaky. Touch up with a blotting sheet then a translucent pressed powder every 4-5 hours if you have super oily skin to keep the finish even and smooth. Don't do more than 3 touch ups though or the product will look cakey.
I recently bought this from countdown (I love that it’s available there!!) and I’m really liking it so far. It looks great on and give a nice matte finish. I haven’t done a wear test or had anywhere to wear it to, but at least for around the house it’s great!
I used and loved the sister product, Dewy and Smooth so thought I would try this to see how it compares to Double Wear.
The colours are great and a huge selection compared to other brands. Consistency wise its a little harder to blend than the Dewy and Smooth, however it does have a mattifying affect so probably partyly why. I do like the finish, however on my forehead it just looks caked on and flaky, my skin must be too dry to use this (it does say for oilier skin, which my T-Zone is).
I'm keeping this one for summer when my skin is oiler and I need a matte foundation so I dont look super shiny and hopefully the finish will be better. So for now, back to my preferred Dewy and Smooth!
Tips: Better if you have an oilier skin as it is quite drying.
I would have said this was the best affordable foundation I had tried except for some reason it would not set at the top of my forehead!
I bought this recently when I flew to Australia for a wedding without my make up bag -_- and had to buy everything in one go from the chemist warehouse. My sister-in-law managed to pick this shade on the second tester (thank god for testers!) and it looked like a really good fit and felt nice on. When I applied it on the day after priming, it went on nicely all over my face. I then started applying some contour/bronzer and while everywhere else on my face was fine, the product at the top of my forehead came off on the brush. I reapplied the product on, let it sit for a few minutes while I worked on my eyes etc then went to apply finishing powder and the same thing happened. In the end I just reapplied the product again and didn't put anything else over the top for fear it would move again! It looked good and stayed in place throughout the rest of the day so all's well the ends well, but it was quite a stressful experience that I've never had before and don't want to repeat again!
I like this foundation but only with certain base products underneath. If I use it with the wrong moisterizer it looks too powdery and even patchy sometimes especially if my skin is needing some exfolation. However, when I use it with something thats more oily it looks good on my combination/dry skin. I Like to use the nivea blue tin moisterizer underneath this foundation and it gives it a beautiful finish with a bit of a glow effect. I use the shade classic ivory and I think its great, I don't have issues with it looking too orange like I sometimes do with other ivory foundations. I like the way the matte version of the fit me foundation ranges dries down so it's not so slippery feeling and is more transfer proof. It's not super long wearing on me and does get a bit more dewy as the day wears on like alot of foundations but nothing a bit of powder can't fix. I think this is a great affordable foundation for everyday use.
Tips: Keep skin smooth with regular exfoliation so this doesn't cling to dry patches.
I really like this foundation, however I'm between colours which is really annoying. It also would be better if it had a pump bottle. It gives a buildable coverage and is matte but not too matte. Lasts pretty well and doesn't get too oily on me.
Tips: I prefer to use with a damp beauty blender, but also works with a flat blender brush.
I initially was not the biggest fan of this foundation. I at first found that this didnt sit right on my skin, and highlighted my large pores. After some experimentation however this foundation has certainly grown on me. I find that you need a well hydrated base, and a good pore filling primer. With these steps in place this foundation then provides a really pretty matte medium/full coverage, which I find lasts all day without looking cakey or shiny.
I have also used this in combination with a pump of stila illuminating foundation to give a more satin finish- this takes down the coverage, but makes the finish a little more wearable for day makeup. Gorgeous foundation!
Well this one turned out to be the nicest cheap foundation that i've used in a long time..
This foundation stays matte as it promises (and i'm well prone to getting a sheen on), and it definitely minimizes the appearance of my huge pores. It's very blendable and I love how smooth and clean my skin looks with it on.
There are howevere a couple of minor down-falls that I find with this product, for one it's very runny and the opening of the bottle is quite large, so you need to be careful not to pour out too much. The other thing is that I notice quite a lot of transfer with anything that my face comes into contact with, regardless of how much setting powder and spray that I use.
Definitely recommend this foundation as a cheaper option, it's not perfect but It's quite good for the price.
I use this as my everyday foundation as it has good coverage and I finally found a colour that matches my skin tone and covers up my pink undertones. This product is an amazing price for what it does! I just wish it was a pump bottle as I find the pour ones quite messy.
Tips: I apply mine with a sponge to get even coverage
This foundation is good, but I don't think it really lives to the hype. It has good coverage and stays matte for at least half a day (i have oily skin). But the package is so messy, it's a twist cap jar kind of bottle with no pump so it's always a hassle to get the foundation out. The foundation definitely oxidises so do be careful with that. It fills my pores in ok and I can understand why it's so popular.
