Dissapointed :(

I brought the foundation from the Estée counter and I thought I was in love with it :( until my acne started going crazy! (Usually I don't get it really bad) but it was giving me huge swollen pimples that hurt and so I stopped it and my skin cleared up! (Had already gone through half a bottle). the application of the product wasn't very good either, if you didn't blend within 0.5 seconds you were left with orange lines as it oxidised. I used this once for a ball and the SPF turned the girl whiter than paper in every flash photo. I feel like I wasted $69 on a dissapointment.

Tips: Don't use this if you're using flash on your camera :(

Oh my little liquid magic!

Fabulous! I has taken me many,many years to stubble upon such a foundation that ticks all the boxes. It sticks and stays, it blends aaannnd it covers all freckles and blemishes. If only it was more affordable and less addictive!

Tips: I am quite fair, plenty of foundations go too pink or too orange, if you have the same issue, i recommend going neutral - it makes for a great complexion. Also, dab on spots for concealer effect.

Awesome!!

I received a sample and I quite liked it, mainly because I have an oily skin. It lasts all day and it's truly mattifying. The only downside for me was that the shade seemed to have matched my skin tone at the beauty counter but it was actually too light. I used it anyway and just applied a darker powder over it which worked fine. You have to be quick with application because the foundation does set very quickly. I would only use this if I was going out to a party or during summer if I really feel the need to wear foundation. It is mainly suitable for the oily/combination type skins and would not recommend it for those with dry skin because it does not moisturize at all. Application is best when using a good quality moisturizer and this allows for a smoother application.

My All Time Fave!

Year after year I keep coming back to this foundation. I was initially introduced to this product on my wedding day and I've never looked back! It goes on easily, gives amazing coverage and stays put all day! I can't rave enough about it!

Tips: Double cleanse to remove if you aren't using a specific make up remover cleanser.

A++ no budge foundation

I have the colour ivory beige for fall & she'll beige for spring. I wasn't sure if it this would suit me so I got samples first & from first use its a winner. Apply quite effortlessly and gives you enough time to work with prior to drying/setting. A little bit goes a long way. Once this sets it isn't going any where. I use primer first Benefit Porefessional then go over with this foundation using a buffing brush it glides across my face & doesn't settle into any fine lines. I find that it has a good full coverage and that laying to build coverage isn't necessarily needed if anything building up can look cakey. I follow in with a concealer then set, followed by bronzing & highlighting a small spritz of setting spray just to soften up the powdery effect & voilah the face is set for the whole day.

What I love is cooking working and moving around doesn't effect this foundation. As long as you don't cake it on youre left looking flawless for the whole day & it doesn't move you won't necessarily need any touch ups or powering till well into the late afternoon which isn't typically the usual for me with other foundations. Shine free & full coverage with no budge what more could you need?

Tips: Don't go in with too much it can give a cakey effect also go light around where there's facial hair such as upper lip because it can leave it looking more noticeable.

Estee lauder in Ecru

I wasn't matched to the right colour in the store so its a little too dark for me and oxidises quickly if i don't wear a primer. But if i do omg! One of my favourites as it looks so matte and stays on for hours with very minimal flashback in photos.

Tips: Make sure you get matched to the right colour

Double wear it is

Well, I would definitely recommend this foundation for people who desperately wants perfect coverage for acne scars and up-coming acne and with people who have oily skin. I personally felt it was to thick for my skin ( which is dry skin). I would not recommend this to dry skin people like me but would definitely recommend it to people with dry skin.

Tips: colour match. Always important part. And before the foundation, do light layers of skincare and it will prevent fast break-down of foundation over time.

double wear

I found this to be a really good heavy coverage foundation. It caused less breakouts for me than other foundations so I don't have that problem. The staying power was really good and if I have a day where I need my makeup to stay on I'll use this. The bottle I have at the moment is too dark for me but that's my fault but I think when the summer comes again it will be the right shade. Personally I don't use this foundation everyday as it's very heavy feeling to me. It's a really good foundation for special occasions though, which is what I use it for. I'm not really crazy for the bottle or the price...but I'll live with it.

EL Doublewear foundation

This foundation does everything is says it will. It is light and glides on my skin so well without drying it out during the day, even thou it stays on ALL DAY. I find that I do not need to touch up whilst wearing this foundation and my skin always looks flawless. The packaging is a standard glass bottle, which I find I have to be careful as you do not need a lot of this product to get a good even coverage. Don't use to much as you can get a cakey look. I use a small amount and this gives me a good coverage for my whole face. It is hard to remove and if you do not use a make-up remover than you will need to cleanse twice to get all traces of foundation off. I have tried many foundations and always revert back to this product because it does work... so I am happy to purchase the make-up remover oil with it. love love love.

Tips: you need to use a makeup remover to get all traces of product off your skin, but the product lasts ages, so worth the extra $ for remover.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Review!

So I used to be OBSESSED with matte looks and this was defintley my go to for that! Long lasting like sooooo long lasting, good for people who oiley skin aswell! Keeps them nice and matte. The coverage is perfect I would defintley say its full coverage. You do have to work quite quickly with this product as it sets quite fast so I would recommend using a brush that's good at buffing (I use jessup brushes and their perfect) would defintley recommend getting a sample before purchasing this product though :)

Tips: When removing wash your face twice! (Double wear double cleanse?) only because you don't want to be sleeping in this product!
