Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage - £26.50

This is the first 'expensive' foundation I've ever bought. I have never spent over £10 on a foundation before just because I'm a tight ass and wont buy something expensive unless absolute necessary! I have had to take the plunge and buy something more expensive with the hope it will do exactly what I want. Full coverage, with that flawless finish.

I decided to buy Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage as I have seen some really good reviews on it and its a well known brand for quality. I nipped into my local Boots store at 5.30pm when I knew there wouldn't be a girl on the stand (they annoy me, sorry) and grabbed myself the lightest shade. Ivory.

I have written a small summary here but please 'read more' below to find a more in-depth review.

The ups...
Full coverage
Natural look as it blends and sits well
You only need a tiny amount (the foundation will last longer!)
Amazing staying power
Matte finish
Smooth finish

The downs...
The price- £26.50
This can look cakey if not applied the best way for your skin/routine.
Needs a few practice runs before you find the best way to apply.
The same coverage can be achieved from cheaper foundations, although the overall finish can't (I haven't found a cheaper one to do so yet).
