Esteé Lauder Foundation Review...

Estée Lauder Foundation

As seen in my beauty haul (read here), I recently bought the Estée Lauder double wear foundation from Cheshire oaks after seeing great reviews about it all over the internet and from my friends too. I got the shade Pebble and I was so happy that this shade was in stock at the discount store because it matches me perfectly. The foundation is originally £30, however I got mine for £20.75.

This is the standard 30 ml and is presented in a glass bottle which makes it look more expensive than it actually is. Even though the foundation doesn't actually have a pump, it is still very easy to use. I usually shake the bottle before I use it, to make sure all the product is together, then  I just pour the foundation directly onto my brush then apply to my face in small amounts. I prefer to use an angled round top face brush for this specific foundation. 

The foundation isn't very runny and it isn't thick either, the consistency is very nice and it feels great on the skin. It feels very lightweight and it makes my skin look flawless. Literally, when this is on, I look like I have been photoshopped with amazing skin.


This product is suitable for all skin types: I have normal to dry skin and it makes my skin look healthy and it doesn't make it shiny or greasy throughout the day at all. The foundation is very easy to build up and it always look even, despite the thickness in different places of your face and it doesn't look cakey. The shade I purchased is 3C2 Pebble, I got this shade because I have olive skin; therefore I am yellow/brown based and the 'C' means cool. 

The finish is semi-matte meaning it doesn't look shiny or completely matte, maintaining the skins natural finish. The coverage is absolutely amazing! It covers everything; black circles, uneven skin colour, blemishes, scars…EVERYTHING. The foundation is extremely long wearing: I can apply it at 7am and it will still look perfect at 1am. I tend to use this foundation for more special events or important occasions as I personally thin its too expensive to be using everyday. For me, it’s definitely the best foundation I have ever used.

For my everyday foundation I use the L’oreal True Match Foundation; you can read my review HERE.
