This quickly made me lose confidence in using the product, and I didn’t feel my normal self when out and about wearing it. The foundation clumped into the smallest of creases in my skin, particularly around my eyes and mouth. However, I also noticed that it was somewhat cakey and didn’t last anywhere near 24 hours - four, at most.

I noticed from the first use that the foundation is easily spreadable, buildable and quite a good match to my skin tone.

According to the product description the liquid is matte, oil free as well as being sweat, heat and humidity-resistant and waterproof. The foundation comes in more than 60 shades and aims to last 24 hours. I noticed recently that my usual foundation wasn’t lasting as long or sitting as well on my skin and decided things up a bit - and I wish I hadn’t.Īfter a lot of deliberation and scrolling through many reviews I settled on the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation. Where to buy: You can buy Bare Minerals Original powder foundation online from stores including Look Fantastic, Boots, Amazon and Feel Unique.Įstee Lauder Double Wear (Image: Liverpool Echo) Price: RRP £29, but it’s reduced to £23.20 at Look Fantastic. I like this foundation because it has great coverage which you can build it up gradually - it also has SPF 15 too which is great for the sunny weather. You only need a little bit at a time and tapping any excess on the brush back into the lid. I always use a primer first so I let that soak in first before applying the powder. To apply, you twist open the jar and tap some powder into the lid and use your brush to apply to the skin. I opted for Bare Minerals Original foundation in number 12 Medium Beige which looked the closest to my skin tone.

If you want a lightweight foundation, with a brightening effect I'd recommend this product. The rest of my make up went on seamlessly and it gave good coverage throughout the day, without drying out or cracking in places. It felt light and looked natural, yet smoothed over any redness and those dreaded dark circles. My skin absorbed it well, and it gave an instantly bright coverage. Two pumps was more than enough, in fact I had to tissue off some of the excess on my hands before continuing to smooth over my face, so it went on evenly. I applied it using my fingertips, but you could use a brush.

It promises to refresh skin with a 'natural, healthy glow' and is infused with Hyaluronic Acid to 'lock in moisture', plus it contains SPF 30. I'm not keen on anything that feels heavy on my face and prefer a dewy finish rather than a matte look, so this foundation appealed to me.

I rarely wear foundation and only tend to put it on for a night out, of which there haven't been many in the last year. Max Factor Radiant Lift, Long Lasting Radiance foundation (Image: Liverpool Echo)
