Estee Lauder: Full Coverage Foundation
I will be the first to admit that my skincare routine is nonexistent. I use a makeup wipe remover wipe each night and that’s about it. Sometimes I use a moisturizer. Sometimes, when I think the wrinkles in my forehead look extreme, I use a retinol cream that I bought while I was in Mexico. And that is about it.
Therefore, I shouldn’t be surprised that my skin is awful. As someone over the age of 40, I still suffer from a breakout along my chin line every so often, suffer from blackheads, and the worst of it being acne scars and sun spots. I have tried to use concealer and regular makeup, but it never provided enough coverage.
I do what I do best and started researching different options and came across YouTube video (this was years ago so my apologies that I can’t tag the YouTube influencer) sharing the full coverage option of Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Foundation for Face and Body. It looked amazing so I had to try it immediately.
I usually purchase the foundation from Macy’s when there is a promotion for free Estee Lauder sample products with a purchase. Lately, Macy’s hasn’t had it in stock in the stores (or at least at the store in my town) so I have had to order it online.
The foundation is not as thick as I was anticipating, however, to ensure I get the most out of a tube, I squeeze the foundation on to the top of a plastic cap (not the cap to the foundation but another cap that is a little bit wider). Why? Previously I have felt the makeup gets stuck in my makeup brush and then the majority of it doesn’t end up on my face, so I think this approach helps.
Once I put the dabs of makeup on my face from the plastic cap, then I get out my makeup brush and start blending it. Due to the fact that the foundation provides so much coverage, you don’t need a lot of it.
While it provides a lot of coverage, it doesn’t feel heavy on the face and one of the best parts about it is that it lasts. By the end of the work day, it is still providing my face coverage. They state it has 24-hour staying power and while I haven’t tried it, I am guessing that it is accurate.
Here are some of the other benefits of the foundation:
- SPF 15
- Waterproof
- Matte finish
- Non-acnegenic so it won’t clog pores
And here I am being pretty brave and sharing with you my before photo (no make-up) and my foundation only picture. Like I stated previously, skin care is not my thing so I need you to teach me your routine! What do I need to do?
I would highly suggest trying this foundation! It is truly a keeper in my makeup bag for years to come. Order Here
