Double Wear Stay-in-Place SPF 10 Liquid Foundation

By Bettie 2 weeks ago.

I Love Double Wear. I have multiple Shades. I am something between light and light-medium (winter/summer), with neutral slight cool undertones. I tried the Shade 3C0 and it matches me very well. It is very neutral- neutral, there are no visibly red, pink or yellow tones, like in the other cool or neutral shades I would say. For reference: My holy grail shade is Dior Backstage Face and Body 2N. I love it, still going to buy it.

This foundation feels very light on the skin. It sinks into the skin and if applied properly, won't streak or cake and will last all day long, no matter what you are doing. it doesn't emphasize fine lines or wrinkles and doesn't sink into then either. It tends to dry very fast, so it is best to work in small sections. I have found it works best with a sponge and smoothed out with a brush. It will feel tacky at first, just let it settle and dry a little, approx. 10 minutes and you're good. Go easy on the powder when finishing your face. I would have given it a 5 but for having to work in sections. Three dots on each cheek, one on the nose and chin, a few on the forehead and you are done, just make sure to apply the dots in each section, blend that out then apply the next dots and blend that out and so on. Otherwise it will dry down and you will have all these dots on your face. This is hands down, one of the best foundations I have ever used. Best used with a primer. Does not come with a pump,

This is a great foundation, and I can't believe I am just giving it a try! For reference, I am an NC42 in Mac Studio Fix Fluid, Revlon Colorstay Toast, Lancôme 425, and Urban Decay 8.0. As others may have mentioned, the only drawback is that this does not come with a pump and can be messy. The texture and coverage are outstanding and does a nice job covering imperfections. It dries to a nice, matte finish and does not oxidize. Please note that the color matching takes a bit of trial and error. I started with 3W2, then 4W1 and the perfect match..of all things...is 4N2. That said, the Cool Warm Neutral palette is a bit all over the place, so please try a few testers before making your final selection. I was convinced that I needed the 4W2, but the tone was a bit olive/ruddy looking for my yellow undertones. This is the first "neutral" I've used outside of the Loreal TrueMatch in N6.5

Beautiful for oily skin with pigmentation, but I found this foundation to be wayyy too dry in the Swedish winter, even though I have oily skin all year round. This foundation is full coverage, so I find it difficult to use on natural days or when my skin is feeling a little drier than normal. I try to mix it with moisturiser during the winter to sheer it out and make it go on nicer, but it still clings to my dry patches :/

perfect foundation for combo to oily skin. literally stays in place and lasts all day. wore it for 11 hours and everything was still on including my blush bronzer and highlight.

The longest wearing foundation I have ever used! It really does stay on all day without fading or oxidising. I like the finish, as it is matte, but doesn't look too matte, I find I still have some texture and light to my face so it's not dull looking. I always hear people describing this foundation as full coverage, but it is a medium buildable foundation (and there is a separate Double Wear Max Cover foundation which actually is full coverage), and the way I apply it is as light as possible, so I tend to achieve a just about medium coverage. The only negatives I would say are that although it does last all day I still have to apply powder a few times throughout the day, otherwise my nose will look very shiny. Other people say they don't notice, but I personally find it to be a problem. In terms of the shade, there is a very wide range to choose from, and the shade I have looks fine, but if I'm being picky I would rather it be just a little bit lighter in order for it to suit me perfectly. The lighter shades than this are too pink for me.
