| Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation Shade - 3W1 Tawny 37 |
I think it is only right to dedicate my very first post to a product I discovered relatively recently. I am talking about (unnecessary drum roll) Estee Lauder DoubleWear foundation. Foundations are definitely a weakness of mine, the search for the perfect holy grail one has left me with numerous bottles of the stuff.
However, Estee lauder has came very close to being nearly perfect.
Pros: AMAZING coverage - covers all flaws but when applied correctly (not spread on with a shovel!) it can still look, dare I say natural! It has a good colour range for all skin types and colours and hasn't broke me out, although many people complain it does. Coming from someone with very sensitive skin, as long as it is properly removed it shouldn't cause problems. It is also perfect for oily skin types as it stays matte and lasts ALL day whilst still looking flawless.
Cons: Smell isn't great, it has quite a paint smell so it feels as though you really are painting your face. It is also quite difficult to get it completely off the skin - wipe, cleanser and toner is necessary for me! The coverage is amazing but for day to day wear it is still slightly too much. It also has Spf 15 in it which is good but causes flash back in pictures which isn't ideal.
All in all it is a great find and product which should definitely be tried!
Let me know if you have tried it or if you have any other suggestions :)
look forward to an array of many posts to come
