Hi, first of all sorry for the absence and crazy amount of time I haven't blogged for!
Now apologies done with and hopefully accepted. Here it is! My HG foundation Estée Lauder Doublewear in the shade Fresco.
I love this stuff! It's an old fashioned, reliable and real foundation that does what it is supposed to. The claims are that it is 15 hour wear makeup, stays true and natural through humidity, heat and activity.
Ok firstly it's not natural. I do not use this stuff everyday because it really does look like makeup, hence the old fashioned. Having said this though it is not cakey and fake looking.
I applied for the first time to work at 7am in the morning, after a gruelling day at the office and not leaving until 6.30pm I was pleased to see it was still in my face, had not creased and did not look shiny, no touch ups required all day. I did notice however that towards the end of the day it started to look more makeup like, if that makes sense. It's a full coverage, flawless foundation with a matte to satin finish. Drys very quickly so best applied with a stippling brush to blend and buff out.
It's not an everyday foundation not for me anyway, unless you like a one tone, porcelain face. I prefer my face to look warmer with different tones.
It's quite heavy but I love it because it does what a foundation is supposed to do, make you look flawless. I have combination skin and felt like it just smoothed everything out.
Retailing at £28.50 for 30ml it's not the cheapest but for what it does its worth the money.
Great for a night out or and occasion where you need staying power and to
look good when pictured.
Let me know your thoughts guys, have you tried it? Did you have a different experience? Would love to know.
Peace
