LOVE LOVE LOVE - FAVOURITE FOUNDATION!

Estee Lauder Double Wear is undoubtable one of my top foundations! It is 'Full Coverage" with a "matte finish" which was one of the reasons I was drawn to trying it in the first place! Once the product is applied - it does not budge! The skin appears flawless for the duration of the day, perfect for those who do not have time to reapply/touch up make up, especially suitable for gym-goers - the amount of times I have been complimented on my makeup AFTER a sweaty gym session is insane! In addition to the coverage, Double Wear contains SPF, which is an added bonus which not all Foundations offer.

There are so many different shades available (60+), so you shouldn't have any issues finding the perfect shade for you. I have two different shades that I alternate between depending on the season.

Although it is on the higher end in terms of cost, I feel that it is worth it. I would suggest waiting until it goes on sale - Farmers, Sephora & Smith and Caugheys often have 20% off sales!

PROS: - This foundation does what it says it will do - providing double the wear time compared to most other foundations. - The skin appears flawless, perfect for nights out! - It is available in 60+ accounting for a variety of undertones. - Sleek packaging in a glass bottle, easy to get the product out of. - Contains SPF 10.

CONS: - May not be suitable for those with 'dryer' skin as it can be quite drying on the skin. For best results apply to fully moisturised and primed skin. - I would love for the pump was included with the packaging as they come seperately at an extra cost. - A little on the pricey side compared to most other foundations.

Tips: - Most stores offer a FREE colour matching service to ensure that you select the shade that best suits your skine tone. They will often provide you with a takeaway sample pot for you to try in your own time. - It is worth buying a pump (seperately) in order to reduce the amount of product that is used. - Wait for sales to nab Double Wear at a cheaper price.

Best foundation

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.

Fav foundation ever

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.

Luxury in a bottle

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!

8 Years Use

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!

Not for my dry skin

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 always go back to Double Wear

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.

My Absolute favourite

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

Worth the money.

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).

Literally the Holy Grail of foundation

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.
