Body Foundation
“I would say a pretty similar finish to Mac face and body but probably easier to work with. It doesn’t have that tackiness that Mac face and body has”
Neutral Foundations
“I use the shade Golden Neutral (08) and it’s a perfect match! This product is great for every day and ideal for people who don’t want to use liquid foundation on a daily basis: medium (buildable to full) coverage and a very light, little-fallout formula”
Beige Foundation
“absolutely amazing it's one of the best foundations I've ever used. prior to this I was using Born This Way Foundation but this one is just a very smooth finish. this is going to be my Foundation from now on if you guys want to test it out so you can find it at Shoppers”
Porcelain Foundation
“I am in absolute love with this foundation it’s literally so blurring my pores, scars, pimples, freckles, everything disappears”
Medium Foundation
“Very easy application but oxidizes very rapidly. Not the foundation for me but overall had a great smell and medium coverage”
Sheer Foundation
“However, I am so sad that I have to return this because the coverage is just not enough for me (esp as I have acne). I don’t mind sheer foundations (like Reboot), but this one is even so much more sheer than that, I can’t see it on my skin at all”
Bronze Foundation
“Love the coverage and the finish...wish Estee Lauder made more colors like in the full coverage Double Wear foundation. I'm 4W1 Toasty Toffee in the full coverage foundation”
Dark Foundation
“It is a very lightweight foundation so you would need to conceal blemishes and dark spots, it is perfect to wear everyday and it is an easy travel”
caramel foundation
“I color/skin matched with the Clinque cream caramel stay-matte oil free foundation. I've never really loved any foundation that I've bought, but this is the exception”
Long Lasting Foundations
“I think this is going to replace my liquid foundation. If you like the double wear foundation then you will love this..great natural long lasting finish”
