I was looking for a relatively cheap everyday foundation that would stay on my skin for a good few hours and not transfer. For me, Estee Lauder DW is my HG, so I wasn't expecting miracles from any cheaper foundations (I've tried many different ones, and have been disappointed, including Revlon Colorstay, which I found transferred). Anyway, I picked this up on impulse, as it was one I …Read more
So, initial impressions... Nice packaging, and pretty standard bristle brush. Firstly, it passed the 'will my sensitive eyes tolerate it' test, which is a feat in itself! The only other mascaras I've found that don't irritate my eyes are the volume million lashes line... my staple mascara is the excess waterproof. Other mascaras usually dry out/irritate my eyes, and …Read more
This gel eyeliner is by Seventeen.
I had lasik surgery a few years back, and ever since, my eyes have been really dry and sensitive... I'd been finding most eyeliners were irritating my eyes and becoming unbearable to wear. Not only that, but when I was using gel eye drops, they'd just smudge off. I came across this gel eyeliner, which was really cheap.
Anyway, this stuff is …Read more
This is a game changer.
Let me be frank, I normally hate powders. They always make me look cakey, or really powdery and overly made up. They sink into my fine lines and make my already dry skin look even more dry. So usually, I don't bother.
So anyway, I saw this in Kiko and had a moment of madness and bought it, after seeing how luminous it looked on my hand.
I didn't …Read more
I love this full coverage foundation - no others come close to the lasting power of DW! I can wear it all day and don't need to worry about any transfer. It is full coverage but doesn't feel heavy or mask-like.
The only reason I can't give it a 5 is due to my dry skin, which can sometimes mean it settles into dry patches and the fine lines underneath my eyes. I have to use a …Read more
I'm really torn where this foundation is concerned... When freshly applied it gives a fresh, dewy glow and is medium coverage. NW25 matches me perfectly, which is also a plus.
However the main reason I purchase foundation is for it being long lasting - I have a busy, active job and hate when foundation rubs/wears off and leaves me with patches at the end of the day. I put this …Read more
I swatched the colour 'sand' in the shop, it seemed to be a nice beige colour, not too dark at all. Did the same at home - seemed fine. But I applied it to my face and BAM, ORANGE! Unfortunately the disappointment didn't end there. I moisturised well, primed as usual and applied the foundation. It was pleasing to apply, full coverage and very matte and silky. It blended out nicely …Read more
The coverage with this foundation is truly full, the most full coverage foundation I've tried to date. The finish is also nice and dewy. I wanted so much to love this foundation, but for me, a foundation needs to last most of the day - unfortunately this does not. Every time I touch my face, more rubs off, it rubs off on my boyfriends clothes, and it breaks down after just a few hours …Read more
I use this as a setting powder over my foundation, and it gives me a luminous glow as well as setting my foundation well. I have really sensitive eyes and can't often use powders as they tend to go in my eyes and irritate them, but this is the only one I've found that doesn't.
One of the best foundations I've ever tried - full coverage, doesn't transfer (even without setting powder), lasts all day. Its also a nice demi-matte finish.
I've tried so many foundations that claim to be long lasting and full coverage, but this is the only one that actually is! I've given it 4 stars because it oxidises a bit throughout the day and it's expensive …Read more
