BEST UNDER EYE CONCEALER EVER!! Yes I know its a foundation, but that's what's so wonderful about it. It covers like a concealer but its as thin as a foundation. So you get the coverage without the breaking or creasing. Its a bit expensive but Estee Lauder counters give you a 10 day supply to try for free, so that will last you like a month. Hehee. So go try it. Its bueno.

In my opinion, Estee Lauder makes the best long-lasting foundations. I like the Estee Lauder double wear foundation but I found it a bit too thick for me since it tend to clog my pores a bit. This one is actually better than the double wear because even if it's got higher coverage, it is actually more light-weight. The lasting power and oil-control function, however, are not as good as the double wear (maybe because it is lighter), but it still lasts me a whole day. And for the oil issue, I just have to deal with that by blotting my face more. I have the foundation in the color Ivory Cream, and I use No. 39 Cream Ivory for double wear (I am a mac NC20). Another reason why I like it better than the double wear is that although the color names are similar, maximum cover is actually more yellow-toned, which matches my neck better. I also recently bought the color creamy vanilla and I think it is actually closer to the regular double wear in No. 39, since it's got the same pink undertone. The only thing that I have to complain about this foundation is that I can only get it online because the Estee Lauder counters in Hong Kong do not carry them. Other than that, it is an excellent foundation and my current favorite. I would highly recommend it to people with oily/oily combination skin who want to try high-coverage, long-lasting foundations.
On 22nd, April: I'm taking a grade off from my previous rating. After a few days of wearing it, I found that the product does not hold up as well as the regular Estee Lauder double wear, especially in humid weather, like the one in HK. But I still enjoy the full coverage and how light it feels on my skin. Just wish the staying power could be a better as it is claimed on the packaging.

I love this. It lasts me almost the entire day - it is pretty much full coverage - makes spots almost invisible and scars invisible. I have even slept in this - it looked a bit crap the next day but it still stayed on!
I HATE the colour! It would be HG but the colours suck - If I don't mix it with some cheap white gothic foundation - it looks like dirt rubbed on my face. It is disgusting! Ha. Estee Lauder do really good full coverage long lasting products, but their colours are just awful - especially on fair skinned - they look so fake and gross. You need to buy some white foundation and rub it in. Though I don't think even that could save the AWFUL blatant pink and organge tones in the Double Wear.
I love love love this foundation. Whenever i want a full coverage or a 'made up' look, this is the one i go for. i dont even need concealer when i wear it as it is such good coverage, and the best thing is it does not feel heavy. im very acne prone and this doesn't break me out, either. it costs £25 here in britain, although this is quite pricey, it is a lot less than other high end foundations, and it will last the longest time as you only need the tiniest amount. i love the packaging also, easy to use as you just squirt it out and have control over how much you use. could use any application method but i prefer using my fingers as its so easy, it blends easy as well. the only negative issue, which is so insignificant in my opinion, is that if you dont moisturise ( who doesnt?! ) it might make your skin look the tiniest (and i mean TINIEST ) bit dry. but this is minor. cant say enough good things about this foundation!!

RIS and I loved it so much I went and bought another one.It went on like a dream considering its thicker than my usual foundation and covered everything yet looked natural.The colour 'light' matched me well and didnt oxide throughout the day.I love that this comes in a tube rather than a glass bottle,no waste and much easier to use.The packaging is classy and looks expensive.Im very impressed

I absolutely love this. I think I have tried most everything foundation wise, some good, others not so much, but no matter, it's at least in my opinion, the best. Good coverage that remains light and then you can do whatever. It stays light and I think it's best to stay with the lighter as it just seems to disappear.
HG product right here... I am in LOVE with this stuff, and have been using it for about a year now! Just one little tiny drop is all you need to cover literally anything. I ave extremely oily skin but it still stays on like no other! I bought it in three different shades so I can mix and match because my skin tone varies sooooo much throughout the year. It is a little pricey, but one bottle lasts me about three or four months so it is totally worth it! I highlyyyyyy recommend this to basically everyone! My friend tried it and according to her it is simply amazing, it usually takes her three or four layers of her usual product to cover up a zit but only one with Max Cover! If that isn't good enough testimony, I don't know what is :].. It will even stay on into the long hours of the night, which is great for going out!

This product is great - I've used it on and off, more on than off, for about 3 1/2 years now. It has SPF 15, neat, hygienic tube packaging, and is not runny. It gives high coverage, just as the package promises, and can be used more than one way: 1. As a spot concealer for troubled areas, whether they be under-eye or a zit - the formula is neither drying nor oily-feeling/looking, 2. all over for long-lasting, flawless coverage. I have extremely oily, acne-prone skin. This stuff is a bit thick, but it will last all day, will not "run off," will cover any problem you have, gives you spf 15, and does not aggravate my acne. Lately, I have been using a thinner foundation for every day such as Neutrogena Skin Clearing (the formulation and packaging by the way, I hate - too thin, too runny, and it's in a messy, splatter-inducing bottle - I only use it because for summer I like something a little more drying and less coverage than Maximum Cover), and dabbing Maximum Cover over this only on spots that need extra coverage. If I need better coverage, I use Maximum Cover over the whole face. When traveling, I pack the Maximum Cover - best coverage and spf all in one, lasts all day - no fuss, no muss. The only negative: the color range is VERY limited. I use Creamy Vanilla overall for spring/fall/winter and as a spot cover for summer, as the next darkest shade is not right for me even in summer. When traveling, I just suffer w/ looking a bit lighter than usual, as the pros outweigh the cons for travel.
