Having oily skin is such a pain. It requires constant touch ups, lots of powder and the constant fear that your face looks like an actual slip n slide. I'm trying to weigh up the positives like how we're meant to get fewer wrinkles due to the natural oils, so fingers crossed that I'll be the youngest looking granny ever. As such, I've been on the hunt for a good foundation but my skin can also react to different foundations with large lumpy bumpy under the skin spots and sensitivity so it's basically a mission. After looking up loads of reviews I decided to go get matched up and try out a sample to see how my skin would react - long story short, my skin reacted fine with no more blemishes cropping up than usual - I think it's usually foundations with high quantities of SPF in the formula.
After wearing the sample to death I have finally purchased a full bottle as this foundation is life. (Oh there's something so satisfying about a new bottle of foundation isn't there, it's so crisp and new). But, So, what's the difference between this and other foundations that makes it so amazing? Let me break it down for you.
This stuff stays put. I've never been so impressed with a foundation before, it just clings on there for dear life. You won't be saying bye Felicia, you'll be saying hell-Oh my gawd you are lookin' flawless today yes, thank you for staying on my face. Usually at work (I work part time in retail by the way), a few hours after running around tidying and finding things for customers leads to the demolition of my face makeup - (I normally print off a bit of receipt from the till and I will literally blot my face because my makeup just melts off - why am I so embarrassing). With this foundation, I went to the toilet mid shift and I was like oh I look a tad shiney I'll just blot with some toilet roll quickly.. BARELY ANYTHING WAS ON THE PAPER. Literally I was in shock. I was looking at it in disbelief, I dabbed again thinking there had to be more.. there wasn't. The blotting didn't even make much difference to the appearance of my skin/foundation and there was such a minimal amount of product on the paper in total I actually can't get over it.
The other thing about this foundation, normally with my other foundations they kind of break apart on the skin, slightly melt off and you can see bits of your skin coming through and it's like some kind of hybrid halloween/everyday makeup. But Double Wear over here doesn't do that so I'm super impressed. Besides from your skin looking a bit dewy and actually radiant, which for my skin type is amazing and mostly unachievable, this foundation stays put and looks amazing throughout the day. I will say that I still set everything with a setting powder however, I've heard great things from my friend with dry skin who uses this, she doesn't set it and it still stays on like a dream.
Honestly, I'm so impressed with this foundation (hence the blog post on it) and I would highly recommend it to literally anyone/any skin type. I just wish I'd found this sooner. It retails for £31 but a little goes a long way and I'm 100% going to be repurchasing when this runs out.
