My current foundation favorites have been failing me lately and summer is approaching, so it was time to switch it up a bit. I have oily skin, prone to clogging more than breaking out (I've...

I like the double wear maximum coverage but wanted something lighter to wear on casual or weekend days. So a consult with the lady at my local Estee Lauder counter put this into my hands & I was...

I've been avoiding this thinking it was going to be heavy coverage but it's light and can be sheer to medium depending on how I apply it. It looks very natural on my skin and doesn't look dry or...

I'm glad I got a sample. To me, this is pretty darn close to full coverage, there's nothing light about it. Not as good as controlling oil as the regular ELDW. The color an good match, I'm NC50 and...

I started with ELDW. I liked it, but it was more coverage than I need/looking for. I finally got one of their generous samples of DW Light. I'm Desert Beige 21N1 in DW and 2.0 in DW Light. The...

This is HG so far for me. Intensity 2.0 is a perfect match. Blends beautifully, feels like nothing but covers everything I need it to cover. Does not settle into lines or pores. Lasts all day for...

I like this foundation a lot. It stays on your face, makes you look absolutely poreless, it feels light like its claim, but still offers definite coverage. The original DW was way way heavy and...

Have used this for years. I have very oily skin and a lot of roseacea. ELDWL does a good job covering redness. I recently switched from Level 1 to Level .5. I am about NW15. I like the...

This is my holy grail foundation. The normal double wear is waaay too cakey, especially for every day wear. This one is lighter, to the point where you barely feel it on the skin. The tones are...

The color is messed up - #1 is like an NC30 and very orange, once it oxidized it's even worse. Nice coverage though
