Not for everyone

This make up is pretty heavy duty! It gives very good coverage and has a matte finish and I've always found my skin has not started to look oily during the day when I wear it. You need to be sure that you are buying the exact right shade for your skin tone because it is pretty unforgiving if you make a mistake or the colour is not quite right. It can also feel a bit tight on your skin. I would recommend it only for people who are specifically looking for strong coverage.

Tips: Gently exfoliate/cleanse and moisturise right before putting it on as it can latch on to dry patches.

Estée Lauder double wear foundation

This by far is the best full coverage foundation I have ever used. It hides acne, redness, you name it and it really does stay on all day! It gives you a beautiful matte look that perfectly matches your skin tone and I always get compliments when I wear it. The only downside is that I have to limit how much I use it. I can't use it every day as it's a wee bit too heavy and makes me break out. I currently use this for special occasions only.

Tips: In my experience I find it's best applied with a damp stippling brush.

holy grail <3

my favourite foundation! i love the finish, even though it is full coverage it feels quite lightweight, i didnt break out or i dont think from it (have a few pimples/acne here and there so i dont know if thats just because or because of this) this shade matches my skin perfectly and i just dont see any flaws in it!

Great Foundation!

This is such a good foundation, especially for acne-prone/oily skin as it hides imperfections amazingly and it stays matte all day. Definitely my go-to foundation!

Excellent coverage!

This is one of my favourite foundations. It really delivers on flawless coverage, going on smoothly and my personal shade matches my skin tone better than any other, making my skin look amazing! It also manages to stay looking fresh and flawless all day.

Tips: The cost may put some people off, but it's worth it as you don't need to apply as much product. Mine lasts approx 2 - 3 months.

Fantastic long wearing foundation

I fell in love with this product right away upon trying it for only 1 day! price wise, yes it is a bit expensive, but It is definitely worth it! I bought mine for $80 at Life Pharmacy and my shade is Rattan 84. It gives me that flawless finish, absolutely full-coverage. The first day I used it after purchase, it stayed on for sold 12 hours! Even my husband gave me a compliment on this. LOVE IT!

Tips: Try using a beauty blender instead of brush to give you a smooth and airbrush like finish. Also, if you are like me who looks shiny on the "T" zone, apply powder over foundation and you will look just fine. :)

I won't use another foundation EVER!!!

This is hands down the BEST foundation I have ever used! I got a ten day supply a year or so ago and was so impressed with how long it lasted and how little I needed to apply! It blends so well into my skin, and I don't need to touch my makeup up at all! Is worth the $80 especially if you purchase it from Farmers and get Club card points. Mine lasts me about 4-5 months :)

Tips: Use a good makeup remover as it is a bit harder to remove. DO NOT leave it on overnight!

DW foundation

I personally think there are better long wear foundations out there. I have been trying a sample of this over the past few days and my skin has broken out in huge pimples around my neck and nose. Thanks goodness I asked to have a tester to use before I purchased it. However I did fine that it stayed on and didn't appear to wear off like some other foundations, there certainly was no need for me to use a primer which I always use with my colour stay, but can't say that the colour stay wouldn't stay on without a primer either (I have just always used one).

Tips: Always ask for a tester before buying any foundation as you need to be able to wear if a few times to see if it is going to cause break outs or if the colour changes over the day.

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays put

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays exactly where you put it without smudging, budging or sweating off from humidity.

This is my favorite go to foundation when i need to wear something thats going to last the entire day and night. It goes on smooth and lasts all day and night just like it promises. Being fair skinned it can be hard for me to find a foundation that works well with my skin tone and this one does.It is the only foundation I have found that give me a flawless finish. I have some pigmentation and it covers them very well without concealer. This doesn't make me breakout and looks and feels great.

A little bit really goes a long way and a whole bottle will last me months and months. I dont wear it on my entire face daily as i do find that my skin starts to dry out, so its more an "occasion" foundation, however i do use it daily on my nose as thats the area of my face that looses foundation the quickest. I set my foundation with my Dr Hauschka setting powder, which helps it to last even longer and gives a great finish.

The downside is: it's expensive at $80.00 NZ a bottle and it doesn't come with a pump which would be nice. But since I love it so much, I will continue to buy it when i run out.

One of my favourite foundations

My 2nd favourite foundation, i love the coverage & how a little goes a long way, the downfall i have is when i reapply it later during the day you can see the colors dont match up leaving my skin looking patchy (unlike mac pro long), other than that if i dont need to reapply after a busy day it is great

Tips: Some estee lauder stores will match your skin and give you a free sample to take away with you which is great!
